Re: george square accident
Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2014 5:11 pmJust saw it on BBC news. Horrific - out of control bin lorry travelled 300m up Queen Street from outside the GOMA hitting pedestrians before stopping when it hit the hotel on the North side of George Square. 6 dead, several injured.

Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2014 7:32 pmPretty horrendous. Was at Southern when major incident declared....couldn't quite believe it when we heard it was a bin lorry.
Went to GRI to collect my wife who was working and it was pretty busy.

Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:23 pmAnother tragic accident just over a year since the last one. So sad; yet this is when Glasgow unites. I hope this awful situation has not affected anyone or anyone close to anyone here.

Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:30 pmThe news channels are sick f**kers, repeatedly asking traumatised witnesses to describe in detail what it was like seeing someone get ploughed down, and Kay Burley signing off with "Six people who went to do their Christmas shopping today will not be going home tonight".

Journalists long ago lost any respect I had for them by the way they behave round about the NHS as soon as something like this happens. There's a thin line between reporting and downright voyeurism.

Re: george square accident
Posted: Tue Dec 23, 2014 12:38 pmNot the time to speculating on rumours. The police have stated 6 killed, 5 females and one male.
Give their loved ones time to come to terms with what's happened.
