I'd suggest though that the dust generated by these to be quite a
hazard if people breathed it in for too long and you cannot give
everyone a mask.


Well the area is served by small country roads. Watching the towers coming
down would be a popular event. They do not want crowds.

When the cooling towers at Tinsley were blown up the M1 needed to be shut
and Meadowhall shopping centre at the other siide of the M1 was opened up as
a viewing area for at least 6000 people to watch.
