So last year on the 29th November, Glasgow, my home city, was the site of a tragic accident where a Police helicopter fell out the sky over Glasgow and onto the roof of a pub called The Clutha Bar killing 10 people.

This year, 2 days ago, a refuse collection truck went out of control in Queen St, driving up the road, mounting the pavement, past George Sq (one of the busiest places in Glasgow - particularly at Christmas) and crashed into a hotel wall. 6 people are killed and 8 or more injured.

Tragic accident and although it would always be tragic - particularly at this time of year because forever it will spoil peoples happiest time of the year.

My thoughts and prayers are with those injured - hoping they recover fully and quickly - and with those families who lost family members.

Rest in Peace.  :'(

accidents like that suck any time, but especially now, when they'll forever be associated with what's supposed to be a joyous time of year.  so sorry to hear

That's terrible...I hope everyone recovers quickly and gets through this difficult time.

Couldn't have said it better.

Sorry, JD.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Have been following events on TV. Very upsetting. Thoughts and prayers for the families, and the people of Glasgow.
