Tower tumbles: Landmark Ballymun tower bites the dust as part of €2.5bn regeneration blitz
The 138ft building, which is one of the suburb’s “Seven Towers,” took just five seconds to collapse as a large crowd of onlookers gathered together to witness the historic event.
The 15-storey block was the only one of the high-rise towers capable of being demolished by a controlled explosion. The other remaining towers are all being dismantled on a piecemeal basis with special mechanical equipment.
