Показать описание
15 unfinished buildings in Kunming, Yunnan (China) were demolished by blasting. There is a strong tremor in nearby buildings.
15 high-rise buildings in Kunming worth US$154 million obliterated within 45 seconds.
15 high-rise towers that were part of the Liyang Star City Phase II project and had been sitting unfinished for eight years were demolished with explosives. The demolition, viewed by tens of thousands of onlookers, took 45 seconds to obliterate 1 billion Chinese yuan (US$154 million) worth of property.
According to China's state-run Xinhua News, 4.6 tons of explosives were placed at 85,000 blasting points in the buildings. On the day of the explosions, about 2,000 households accounting for more than 5,300 people were evacuated.
Construction of the 15 towers on the 340-acre property was started by the Kunming Xishan Land and Housing Development and Operation (Group) Co. in 2011. The project was divided into four plots identified as A1, A2, A3, and A4.
However, due to a lack of capital, the Yunnan Tin Industry Real Estate Development and Management Co. took over the project in 2012. Due to various factors, construction was halted again in 2013.
Although work was continued on buildings in A2 and completed in 2015 (one year behind schedule), work on the 15 structures in A1, A3, and A4 never resumed. The government attempted to restart the project by listing it on the Yunnan Provincial Property Rights Exchange.
