The six blocks of flats were brought down just before 3.20pm as part of Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) plans to regenerate the Balornock and Barmulloch areas. Crowds had gathered in the area to watch the controlled explosions bring the buildings down. However the demolition failed to completely bring down two of the towers, and STV News understands many who were evacuated will not be able to return to their homes until later than planned. Around 2500 residents were evacuated from the local area before the demolition took place
