  • On a second visit to Littlewoods pools building we see the tower is half down. Here we watch it with normal video and some sped up video.

    I've been inside the tower when working on O2 mast equipment. The clock fingers were all driven from the centre.Had driven past it and often wondered what it was like inside.

    Absolutely amazing footage of a icon slowly disappearing,but I have to ask why all the scaffolding either side of the tower ?
    But many thanks for the time taken to do these videos 😃😁

      Its not in great condition but they will be saving everything apart from the tower. the scaffold id there to hold up the walls

    Are they asbestos roofing sheets at the bottom of the tower. Surly they need removing first to stop asbestos dust getting released into the air. 😮

      The tower was so dangerous nobody could go in. Most of it was pushed inward.

    That looks like it was just a huge empty void where the clock face was, with just a stairway to the roof and the clock workings?

    • @veryhighguy
      @veryhighguy  Před 2 měsíci +1

      it was actually divided in to 3 or 4 floors but that all collapsed in the fire

    I had no idea, I was watching a video about the building only on Fri night, wondering what it was used for, no mention this was happening. WHAT AN UTTER SHAME.

    I'm no structural engineer but imo it looks like the developers have taken on a lot more than they expected. It looks like the whole site is past saving.

      The whole building has been investigated using AI laser technology and only the tower (the part getting knocked down in video) couldn’t be saved. The rest of the building is safe and just need a facelift
