Shandon Par Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't see why not, they have them on forklifts and trains. And a few cars now have collision avoidance systems. Horrendous thing to happen - life is so fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sky news need to take a fucking look at themselves. Following a lad down the street now who started off his 'interview' by stating "I don't want to talk about it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Police are also asking anyone who is in Glasgow City centre to let their family know they are ok to help ease the strain on their phone lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJM77 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 At least 7 "seriously" injured with an unconfirmed amount passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_BullyWee Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 That Sky reporter went too far there trying to get her to describe a baby fucking dead man. I changed the channel after that as he was trying to push the women to describe the scene even after the woman refused as it was to horrific to describe. The police woman spokesperson didn't realise she was being filmed by James Matthews and had already said to someone she didn't want to be filmed.

The Naitch Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've been in the city centre most of the day and passed queen street station about 15 mins before it happened. The place was absolutely heaving so can't begin to imagine the devastation this has caused. Utterly tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJM77 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Apparently it travelled 300m between first impact and where it stopped, tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've been in the city centre most of the day and passed queen street station about 15 mins before it happened. The place was absolutely heaving so can't begin to imagine the devastation this has caused. Utterly tragic. It's fucking horrible. BBC saying staff from nearby shops have been helping cover up bodies and try do CPR. Absolutely shite knowing how many people this will have affected and at this time of the year too. The place must have been absolutely mobbed today. I've never seen anything like this in person luckily enough but I don't know how I'd cope if I had seen what's been described. The fact that reporters are going about acting the way they are is shocking and they should be ashamed of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferryjambo Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sky being absolute arseholes, some of the witnesses too One claiming the lorry was travelling at up to 100 miles an hour....I'd be shocked if a bin lorry could get up to 40/50 over a space of 300m Sounds like it's a fairly horrific incident and that there is likely to be a significant number of casualties. Shame the general public and media can't keep it shut and let the emergency services get on with their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Nederlander Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Pretty distressing stuff. Was there not a 4x4 a few years ago that mounted the pavement in Glasgow and caused a few fatalities around this time of year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The drivers still alive?...poor b*****d. If he is, I feel for him. Not sure how anyone could live with themselves, even if you can rationalise it as a horrible fucking accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I don't see why not, they have them on forklifts and trains. And a few cars now have collision avoidance systems. Horrendous thing to happen - life is so fragile. Id be surprised if the systems on a car would stop a bin lorry travellig at high speed in such a short time from when it detected ut was about to collide. Im possibly wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
