London 2012 -A Sandcastle marking 100 days before the official start of the Summer Olympics was demolished for health and safety reasons only hours after it was completed.
An article in the UK Telegraph, written by Donna Bowater, describes the ginormous 13 feet wide by 6 and 1/2 feet high announcing “100 days to go” was demolished to prevent injuries to visitors. Especially the risk of the structure falling on any children.
The purpose of the sandcastle was to create photo opportunities to mark 100 days before the start of the Summer Olympics.
The cost of the sandcastle was £5,000 or about $7,764 USD.
Demolishing the sandcastle was part of the plan to ensure safety.
