Picture Special: The moment three 22-storey blocks are demolished in just five seconds with 180 kilos of explosive

Three multi-storey blocks of flats in the south of Glasgow have been demolished in a controlled explosion to make way for a £5million regeneration in the area.

The 22-storey high-rise buildings at Tarfside Oval in Cardonald were brought down by 6,000 individual charges and 180kg of explosives.

Around 340 neighbouring properties had to be temporarily evacuated to allow the flats to be safely demolished. Several cars were left covered in dust from the blast.
