There is a certain irony and problem with the way we view life in this country.. Or more, they way the media are controlled and allowed to report on things.
The 4 victims in this accident were named ASAP, the injuries have been reported on with little sensitivity to the 4 victims, the friends and the families.
The videos were shown as soon as possible, showing their full faces, covered in blood and their screams.
Yet a 14 year old boy who has committed attempted murder is not named and gets his face blurred out of photos.
I know we all think this has had some poor reporting, but the media in this country is a complete shambles in general!!

Apparently One Direction have sent a video message to one of the girls injured. They have also offered her tickets to a concert of her choice and will meet her backstage. A nice gesture, but hasn't the poor girl suffered enough ;-)

They need attenuators on the front and rear of the carriages, not the electronics type, there's another type they used in Indycars a few years ago, the result was after they fitted them, nobody has been paralised since. I won't bore you with a technical explanation of how they work, but this type of device would be a great quick fix., and they're realitively light, so shouldn't compromise speed.

Judging by Thorpes queue times, I would say it's having much less of an effect on the general public than I expected!
I doubt it's a wider problem, the amount of work to safely remove and assess the incident is huge. And even if they cordon off the area, there are still access concerns for cranes and specialist equipment.
I really can't stop thinking about this and have been wondering why so few trains have any kind of shock absorbers or bumpers on the front. I know it's a near impossibility that this should happen, but I do risk management, and part of that is saying "if the impossible were to happen, how can we reduce the impact it will have?". I wonder if it re-opens, we will see some kind of bumper on the fron and rear of cars. This is purely speculation, but it would be a simple upgrade in theory.

I just watched some of that interview and I can conclude from the seven minutes and forty seconds that I watched that that woman needs a high five.
In the face.
With a chair.
And Nick Varney deserves a medal for not doing so. I would have been driven barmy if I had been in his place.

Oh yes. Don't worry. I'm going to complain, but will sit and write a detailed and concise letter. I have complained to the NHS, Local MP, train service and many many more. I'm a seasons letter of complaint writer!
I plan to address her dis-interest in the interviewee.
Constantly taking any words said by interviewee out of context.
Her aggressive manor and demeanour.
Her constant interruption.
Her rudeness throughout.
He insensitive questioning when asking if someone had lost a limb.
Her attempt to sensationalise the story by implying the rides had been running unsafe, with no evidence or even suggestion as to why she kept questioning this, and making the point time and time again.
And that's just off the top of my head! It will probably be tomorrow when wife and baby go out before I can write a proper letter.

What Merlin should have done was run those rides on ultra low capacity, even yesterday they had very short queues. We often take mini-me to Cheesy after school and the place is more often than not completely empty.
It shows what little they know of the industry that it's taken them three days to realise Saw is closed and isthe same manufacturer.

If one writes a letter of complaint to anybody, please, please, re-read it, check the spelling, not on "spell check", and check the grammar. Correct structure and punctuation adds to the impact of a letter.

I actually feel very disgusted with the interview. The response to video of the interview on Twitter echos the feelings of this forum. I actually feel strongly enough to report this to the Broadcasting standards guys. Does anyone know how to go about doing so. And does anyone else dancing joining me in complaining. I'm surprised she doesn't get slapped with lawsuits for making slanderous claims like "so all your rides were unsafe before then, that's what you are saying isn't it?".

I am asking Sky News how I can officially complain about her. She was scare mongering, she was overly aggressive, she didn't listen and had her own agenda.

This Sky news interview is awful. This woman is a complete bitch. Nick Varney is doing very well. She is being absolutely ridiculous, what a joke. Merlin should refuse to do any work with Sky news ever again. How stupid is this woman on the news?
