The Disasters that Shook Scotland


Recommended Posts

Did anyone watch this?

First episode was Piper Alpha, and the Stockline factory explosion. I was 6 when Piper Alpha happened, but I remember the news coverage fairly vividly. Stockline was only about half a mile from where I stayed at the time, and we regularly played 5s at the Firhill complex across the road.

Standard talking head-type history show, but still very interesting and some information I hadn't heard before.

Episodes 2  will cover the Chinook crash in 86 and the Polmont rail disaster, and episode 3 will cover Ibrox in 1971 and the Solway Harvester
