Maradu demolition: Gone in 10 seconds, but nothing to sneeze at

Deccan Chronicle  

Kochi: Day 1 of Kochi’s demolition derby was over in 10 seconds. That was all it took to bring down, in a controlled implosion, the first of four multi-storey luxury apartment complexes near the shoreline of the Vembanad lake. With Section 144 in force in the neighbourhoods, and the vantage point of Kundanoor-Thevara Bridge declared no-go, demolition tourist thronged under the bridge to see the 19-storey Holy Faith H 2 O skyscraper impoded. Barely a few minutes after the first implosion, the siren was sounded for the next blast to dismantle the twin towers of Alfa Serene Apartments. While the onlookers clapped and jostled for videos, the authorities heaved a sigh of relief as the first day of the demolition derby went off with no major damage to the nearby houses and buildings.
