:00:56. > :01:04.Katie Walderman was there to see it happen.
:01:05. > :01:06.For almost 40 years, Blackpool's other tower has stood proud.
:01:07. > :01:08.It housed Ernie, the machine that selected people at random
:01:09. > :01:10.to become millionaires on the Premium Bonds.
:01:11. > :01:14.and his replacement has moved across the way,
:01:15. > :01:18.But this iconic eight-storey tower will be no more -

:02:20. > :02:24.It felt like we were on a Fast Furious set!
:02:25. > :02:29.When you think there's 6,000 tonnes of concrete chasing it down
:02:30. > :02:30.when you knock the legs from under it.
:02:31. > :02:34.That was the fun part - now starts the clear-up.
