Exglasgowasc Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Tragic news. Apparently 6 confirmed dead. Awful and what a particularly horrible time of year for this to have happened. Just over a year on from events at the Clutha. So so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Totally speechless. As if this time last year wasn't bad enough with the Clutha. Fingers crossed for everyone involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just about to walk home from my work in city centre to my flat in Merchant City. Not looking forward to it. City is very quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 They are asking people to just keep away and head straight home. If you are using Queen Street station you need to enter from top end of Dundas Street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return of Yermaw Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Was in town earlier and walked past there. Would have been a horrendous thing to witness and of course get caught up in. Dreqdful for anyone injured and of course any pour soul amongst the dead. What's the feckin chances of going into town to do some shopping and then being clipped on the pavement by a bin lorry? Makes you take a step back from trivial worries........ As an aside and completely unrelated to the awfulness of what has happened it would be nice for the reporting to make no mention of the Clutha and shoe-horn in a Jim Murphy connection (political allegiances out the window) - it's lazy and unnecessary. It would also be good if "witnesses" amd rent a quotes would refrain from making reference to the indomitable Glaswegain spirit - it's approaching Liverpudlian heights. Decent people react decently - it's not ingrained into a city dweller's psyche......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
