of the most challenging jobs they've done. The former student | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
accommodation tower was just six metres from the nearest building. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Engineers have spent almost a year working on how to bring it down | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
safely. Cath Mackie reports. It's 21 storeys high, it's hn a | :00:34. | :00:37. | |

alarms went off so it was a start to wake up at that. It was quite | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
impressive. Everyone like the explosion, I do not think anyone was | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
buried about `` worried abott the building. The precision of this | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
explosion is quite extraordhnary. We were told we'd be left with a two | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
storey high pile of rubble, and that's what we've got. It'll take | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
about eight weeks to clear ht. It's another dramatic change to the | :01:36. | :01:38. | |

possibly mist and fog in pl`ces too. Not a cold night. Still the | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
risk of showers here and thdre as we head into Monday morning. A great | :05:42. | :05:46. | |

the afternoon, that low-pressure centre is still close by and it | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
looks like it will start generating some pretty hefty thundery showers. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
A few for south Wales, certainly across | :07:07. | :07:08. |
