The controlled demolition of the building in Rahova, Bucharest, damaged by a gas explosion nearly a year ago, has begun. The upper floors, the most severely impacted by the blast, will be completely rebuilt. Authorities in the Capital City Hall state this is a first-of-its-kind operation in Romania. The demolition is being carried out carefully to ensure safety and minimize disruption to the surrounding area. This marks a significant step towards rebuilding and restoring the affected area of Rahova. The operation aims to remove the unstable structure and pave the way for reconstruction efforts. Residents have been anticipating this phase for months following the devastating incident.
