Captured in October 2015, this was the controlled demolition of the infamous Red Road Flats in the area of Balornock, Northeast of the centre of Glasgow.

 

The demolition of 6 towers simultaneously was one of the biggest controlled demolitions in Europe and it all went wrong. The two towers seen right of frame remained partially standing and dangerously perilous. It took a long time for them to be broken down afterwards. Not everything goes to plan.

 

I am seeing video evidence of Russia using cluster bombs and thermobaric bombs on civilian targets in Ukraine. These munitions are banned by the Geneva Convention. Indiscriminate weapons used upon civilian targets. War crimes. A war against humanity. Europe. Again. Humanity learns nothing from the devastating history of our past.

 

I have seen many videos showing incredible acts of bravery, individually and en masse, of ordinary Ukrainian people. Sadly I fear that the longer this barbaric attack continues, the more devastating the weapons and targets will become. I can't see Putin stopping at Ukraine either. There are plenty of reports and documents out there suggesting that he won't. This is absolute insanity.

 

My thoughts remain with the people of Ukraine, their families and their friends.

 

My thoughts too are with those Russian military personal that refuse to fight, those that lay down their arms and surrender. Those who had no idea they were being sent to fight their Slavic brothers and sisters.

 

Those who continue to fight are as guilty as those who order them to fight. 'I was following orders' is not an excuse.

 

I wish and hope that Europe will know peace once more - and soon. Be safe my Flickr friends.

The architect of the building was Berthold Lubetkin and the building was built in 1962. I have also been to visit his Bevin Court work, which also features a spiral staircase, better than this one, but not as high (19 storeys in this case).
