UAE demolishes towers in 10 seconds
Originally a cluster of unfinished buildings, the Mina Plaza towers were demolished to make way for the redevelopment of the port area, creating a new destination that appeals to both tourists and residents.
Bill O'Regan, CEO of Modon, the company appointed by the UAE to oversee the demolition, said the intention is to redevelop the Wharf area into a traditional souq market.
Footage provided by Modon Properties showed the towers collapsing inwards using "stable non-primary explosives".
