Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Boy About Town on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 15:17:17 One being reported as dead!
Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 15:36:52 shit, terrible. hope that's wrong.
BBC report 4 teens as those seriously injured, but as ever early information is unreliable Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 16:27:47 shit, terrible. hope that's wrong. BBC report 4 teens as those seriously injured, but as ever early information is unreliable BBC also suggesting they are still trying to extract them from the wreckage, which considering it happened around 2ish is horrible!

Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 17:02:20 Sam just posted on FB, he's fine but sounds like he's used up a few of his 9 lives.
is that Sams or cats? Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 17:56:45 I'm fine.
I was on The Smiler this morning and it broke down whilst I was queuing. I guess they should've shut it then. The crash sounds horrific. I hope those involved make full recoveries. Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: DarloSTFC84 on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 19:36:04 Some people on Twitter are just complete and utter fuckwits What's been said? Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Hammer on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 00:25:01 Apparently, two people had to have legs amputated at the scene. Very sad.
Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 07:22:29 Nothing has been reported yet. The BBC have footage of one person being lifted off the ride onto a stretcher and they definitely had all four limbs.
I'm not surprised the park is closed today. 2 cars on the same section of track should never happen. The fact it has means either a catastrophic computer malfunction or, unfortunately much more likely, operator error. Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: singingiiiffy on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 07:47:44 I'm inlu going off reports but it was said staff were informed by the public about the car and it didn't get called though to the right people in time
Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Red and Proud on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 07:55:24 A really sad day for everyone concerned. The injured especially, the park and the trippers who are going to miss out today.
Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: Bewster on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 08:28:17 What's been said? People complaining that the park/ride was closed and that it spoiled their day. Other's making jokes about it being renamed as the 9/11 ride. Utter cunts. Title: Re: Alton Towers Post by: 4D on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 08:38:00 There's a lot of thick, selfish tools in this world.
