Sad news indeed.

The only cheering thing about it is Glasgow's response - people on the scene running towards the site to help out, volunteers being turned away from donating blood because that many people had already come forward, the donation service couldn't take any more. The city showing it's true character there.

Thoughts with everyone affected.

Fucking horrible. Way too close to home. Roisin has a friend who lives essentially next door; said she slept right through it. Was woken up by the sirens and went out to provide tea to the emergency workers. Gotta love that Glasgow spirit. At Andrew's flags at half mast today.

At least there's enough. They must be busy as fuck.

Glad you're ok Techboy. Saw this when I woke up and had a sneaky feeling you might not be too far away.

What a horrible thing to wake up to on St Andrews Day of all days.
