we were away on holiday when they were dropped, so I missed it. As we were coming back along the M6 from Manchester Airport, the taximan said "do you notice anthing different?" and that was when I realised that the towers were no longer there.
Thats so sad, it was a cracking landmark telling you your'e almost home.
Me and some of my work mates watched from a distence.As the towers fell it brought tears to are eyes
next year will be 20 years since the towers were dropped the main reason given was that in 1994 fiddlers ferry power station was to close,but it is still going strong whitch means parkside could run at least another 20 years at least!
