These photo's -rather spookily - remind me of the collapse of the twin towers in the USA....

Not quite the same is it?

It is spooky...especially if one studies the conspiracy theories regarding 9/11. The cooling towers fell just like the US Twin Towers. Or is that the other way around?

Both a controlled demolition.

I took very similar photos of this scene from the old railway embankment, walked down from UpHolland and along St Paul's Avenue and Poolstock Lane lane to get there. It was a Sunday and very few buses available!
