On March 13, demolition has started on the remains of a historic building next to Glasgow's Central Station after a massive fire gutted it on Sunday. The blaze began in a nearby vape shop and caused the Union corner structure to collapse, leaving a tall chimney stack dangling more than 100, 50 feet in the air. Workers suspended high on cranes are carefully dismantling the unstable ruins piece by piece. Workers plan to operate around the clock if the weather holds, aiming to clear the site quickly for public safety. The fire disrupts Scotland's busiest rail hub, with the main section closed until at least Wednesday. Low-level services restarted earlier this week, but full operations depend on safe progress. City leaders and rail officials recognize the hassle for passengers, shoppers, and local businesses inside the cordon. For 200 firefighters contain the flames, protecting the station and preventing any injuries. With the fire service handing control to the council, efforts now focus on steady demolition
and eventual reopening, putting safety above all to restore normal life in the city center.
