Dundee Hilltown multis demolition 30/6/2013 - Video
A church in Dundee, Scotland, was the meat in a 'demolition-sandwich' when two neighbouring tower blocks were blown down.
St Martin's Episcopal Church is situated just metres from Butterburn and Bucklemucker Court multi-storeys, which have been razed to the ground.
The congregation was decanted elsewhere for their Sunday worship, where prayers were said for the church to survive intact.
The Bishop of Brechin, the Right Reverend Dr Nigel Peyton, told Sky News before the demolition: 'We'll be praying for everyone involved in the whole day, really.
'There'll be a lot of other neighbours anxious about their properties and we'll be praying for them. We are confident that the blow down of the 'multis' will go well.
'We've made our preparations, we've talked to the contractors and have a lot of confidence in them and we've certainly told our insurers!'
Preparations for the plume of dust included sealing the church organ in plastic, removing valuable items from the premises and taping up exterior doors.
The demolition of the 25-storey blocks removed two landmarks that have been prominent on the Dundee skyline since 1971.
The 374 flats were demolished by explosives placed strategically in the structure of the buildings.
More than 10,000 detonators were used by the contractors SAFEDEM, which has worked on the tower blocks for several months, removing internal fittings and weakening support walls prior to the final 'blow down'.

Church survives a 'demolition sandwich'
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) The Houston Astrodome, one-room schoolhouses in Montana and a lighthouse on the island of Martha's Vineyard all made this year's list of America's 11 Most Endangered Places.
Western Michigan University's historic East Campus did not, according to the Kalamazoo Gazette ( http://bit.ly/10l7VJd ).
But, in a letter to President John Dunn dated June 18, the National Trust for Historic Preservation said it gave serious consideration to adding the four buildings to the list. Questions of timing kept it from a spot, not historic merit, the letter said.
"At the National Trust for Historic Preservation, we seriously considered placing Western Michigan University's historic East Campus on our 'America's 11 Most Endangered List,'" wrote John Hildreth, vice president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "Our understanding that the buildings might be demolished before we go to press made that recognition impossible. However, that does not diminish our concern."
Phase 1 of the demolition isn't due to start until late this summer, according to WMU.
While the list came out June 19, the 11 sites were chosen before the university released its demolition timeline in late May, explained Genell Scheurell, senior field officer in the NTHP's Chicago Field Office.
The letter commended Friends of Historic East Campus, which nominated the buildings for America's Most Endangered Places, for its campaign to find an adaptive reuse for the buildings and said the NTHP "strongly" supports FOHEC's suggestion that WMU delay demolition and convene a community consultation panel to find alternate suggestions for use.
"We hope the university will reconsider its current plans and we will be happy to assist it and the community to come together now to identify how all of East Campus may be returned to productive use," the letter concluded.
The letter to WMU offering NTHP assistance was unusual, but not unique, Scheurell said.
"They are just breathtakingly beautiful buildings and certainly worth saving," said Scheurell. "It wasn't extraordinary, but it's not something we do as a matter of course."

MANILA, Philippines A demolition plan turned violent on Monday, July 1, as informal settlers clashed with policemen along Agham Road in Quezon City.
Informal settlers threw rocks, broken glass, and feces at policemen, who in turn fired shots to control the area.
The protesters then marched to the Quezon City hall where they held a program to protest the demolition plans. They were joined by other militant groups like Kabataan, Anakpawis and Kadamay.
The police resorted into violence as the militants tried to enter the city hall. They were dispersed by policemen via water cannons. Two people were injured from the side of the militants.
Anakbayan chairperson Vencer Crisostomo said that the demonstrators merely wanted to have a dialogue with the Quezon City government but they were instead answered with violence.
"Nagdedemand ang urban poor groups ng sagot sa Quezon City government kung bakit nagkakaroon ng demolisyon sa hanay ng mga maralita at ang hinarap sa kanila ng mga pulisya," Crisostomo said.
(The urban poor groups demanded answers from the Quezon City government regarding the demolitions. They were, instead, faced with police barricades.)
