With the Noida twin towers demolished at 2.30 pm today, social media platforms have been buzzing. The event was historic as it is the tallest demolition that India has ever seen. One of the buildings, built by Supertech Ltd illegally, was 103 metres tall, while the other was 97 metres tall. Both the buildings were brought down by an implosion in a matter of just 9 seconds. While on the night before, the area seemed to turn into a selfie spot, today, as the countdown began this morning, people started posting photos of the twin towers as visible from their own homes.
