Noida twin towers demolition: The pillars in the massive towers have been fitted with around 3,700 kgs of explosives.
A special dust machine has been installed to monitor the dust and pollution levels after the Supertech twin towers in Noida are demolished today by an explosion using thousands of kilograms of explosives.
The pillars in the massive towers have been fitted with around 3,700 kg of explosives and will be brought down using the waterfall implosion technique, which means the debris will literally fall like water. The blast will be executed sharp at 2:30 pm, an official said.
The collapse will take nine seconds while it will take about 12 minutes for the dust to settle. There have been concerns over the pollution the demolition may generate.
