WATCH: Times Media building implosion

The building that used to house Times Media in Rosebank was imploded this morning and the streets of Rosebank resembled that of a war zone.

The building was imploded to make space for The Galleria, a 90 000m2 development that will consist of offices, a hotel and apartments, among other things.

The streets surrounding the building, namely Biermann Avenue and Bath Avenue were littered with rubble, broken glass and parking tickets.

However, the cleanup of the surrounding areas began almost as quickly as the building fell, with flat bed trucks used to remove the rubble from the streets.

Our journalists caught the action on camera as it happened.

Watch the action:
