India goes gaga on social media as twin towers crumble

India’s victory over Pakistan in the T20 Asia Cup was an obvious subject to trend on Twitter on Sunday night. But what was trending earlier in the day was an unlikely hashtag: #TwinTowers.

Indians closely followed the Noida twin-tower demolition on the Internet Sunday. Soon after an implosion triggered with 3,700 kilograms of explosives brought the towers to ground in the afternoon, feeds on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms were flooded with photos, videos and memes.
