Bungling demolition workers run from the dust following an explosion.

  • 5 years ago
This is the moment bungling workers were caught sprinting away from a dust cloud after standing too close to a tower block that was being DEMOLISHED. Mum-of-three Sharon Boland, 46, was recording the dramatic collapse in Hockley, Birmingham, on Sunday morning (26/10) when she captured the hilarious footage. The 24-second long video starts with Cornwall Tower - an eight-storey block of flats - crumbling to the floor in just five seconds. It then captures the moment four workers turn and run towards the camera as they realise the thick dust cloud is billowing towards them. Members of the public watching the demolition can be heard laughing at the men as one lady says: “Look at them running." Yesterday (Tue), dinner lady Sharon, who lives in Sheldon, Birmingham, said one of the workers even jumped into his car to avoid the dust.
