The ‘Angry Beetham Tower’ Twitter account has been closed down by its owner due to health concerns.
The account, which was set up a decade ago, tweeted as if Beetham Tower had come to life — and took on a malevolent purpose. Often, the account would ask users which object or organisation they would like to demolish using a poll — promising to destroy the ‘winner’ with ‘nuclear lasers’.
Aside from the ‘Smashurday’ polls, the account would also jokingly goad other towers — like the Stockport Pyramid — and tweet puns about news events. For years, its owner remained a mystery.
