Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 A train has derailed at Stonehaven. It seems mad that any trains were running in that area after the storms. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-53751678 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Falkirk and Stirling always get flooded badly, I have seen footage aplenty from Falkirk but not Stirling which I can only assume is because it’s so far under water everyone’s smart phones are submerged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major incident is declared when the situation has the potential to overwhelm the available resources: police, fire, ambulance, hospitals, utilities, etc and special arrangements need to be made. It's not necessary based on the number of casualties, but may be due to location, difficulty of extraction, dangerous chemicals etc 18 minutes ago, RiG said: A major incident has been declared so that response is not unusual.

Ones that people may remember are the helicopter crash a decade ago and the ski lift at the Lecht six or seven years ago. There was also a major incident declared for the pandemic.
