Demolition of towers causes buzz
August 23, 2010
The demolition of Cape Town’s “Two Ladies”, the Athlone Towers, caused a buzz. Over the weekend many people took the time to say their goodbye’s by taking pictures with the towers in the background. This was of course the last time they had the opportunity to do so as the towers was scheduled to be demolished at 12pm, 22 August.
Twitter was yet again one of the sites who were buzzing with people tweeting about the towers. There was even a hashtag for the event: #capetowers. Click here to see the tweets of Athlone Towers and #capetowers
