India

oi-Deepika S

New
Delhi,
Aug
28:
A
series
of
controlled
explosions
reduced
the
100-metre
tall
Twin
Tower
in
Noida
structures
to
a
massive
pile
of
rubble.
Apex
(32
storeys)
and
Ceyane
(29
storeys)
were
gone
in
seconds,
in
a
spectacular
crash
that
took
3,700
tonnes
of
explosives
bored
into
the
pillars
and
walls
of
the
structures.

In
the
biggest
such
demolition
seen
in
the
country,
the
floors
of
the
twin
towers
collapsed
onto
each
other
in
a
stack
as
thousands
watched
from
vantage
points
outside
the
‘exclusion
zone’ in
Noida’s
sector-93
on
the
outskirts
of
New
Delhi.

As
the
buildings
went
down,
Twitterati
responded
with
a
range
of
feelings
mirth,
amusement,
humour,
sarcasm.
The
demolition
drive
received
mixed
reaction
on
Twitter,
while
some
even
asked
if
it
was
really
necessary
to
carry
out
the
demolition
and
could
it
not
have
been
reused
for
a
humanitarian
or
other
public
welfare
purposes.

But,
the
mega
demolition
also
spawned
a
flurry
of
memes,
with
many
Twitter
users
using
famous
dialogues
and
stills
from
Bollywood
films
like
‘Gangs
of
Wasseypur’
to
add
to
the
‘demolition
humour’.

”At
2:30
people
Le
Noida
people,”
wrote
a
user
and
shared
a
clip
from
a
comedy
sketch.
