CHENNAI: The massive 11-storeyed building at Moulivakkam, which was giving sleepless nights to residents, came crashing down like a pack of cards in just three seconds after it was blasted using explosives. The demolition was three hours behind scheduled.
In the blink of an eye, the high-rise tower, ‘Belief’, was reduced to rubble at 6.50pm as explosives from the basement up went off. Dust engulfed an area about 100 metres from the structure but settled in a few minutes.
