M8 thats cheered me right up

I think we all need to see stuff like this now and again, it's not nice no, but it reminds us how lucky we are, and for me personally it reminds me to keep a level head when driving.

Good post.

Go's to show how one little mistake can ruin many people's lives.

for the lazy ones

I was on the M61 job. not a pretty sight! When you attend these sorts of incidents, you do tend to drive a bit more conservativly for a while afterwards. But then I'm afraid complacency creeps back in!

Misty when u say you was on the job what do you mean?

are you a Copper,firman,ambulance crew or were u driving past?

My father-in-law was part of MedAlert in Lancashire (in fact he was one of the founding doctors) and attended many of these incidents in the region.

Hearing the horrors of it first hand really brings it all home. He had nightmares for weeks after the M61 incident.

Be careful out there...

It's a shame really another person's mistake can kill and hurt soooo many people.

That’s not nice at all, makes you think though

I enjoy driving but i dont think i'll be able to drive 2.5k a week.!

its easy m8 just the 1am starts that get to you after a bit lol

Sorry for the late reply UK300, I am a fireman in Lancs (20yrs)think if I remember that job was about 85-86?. Seen more jobs like that than I care to remember over the years m8!
dave

I always ask a fireman whats the worst thing you have ever seen in your time as a fireman?

I am being very honest when I say, although you don't get used to seeing terrible injuries, and incidents, you certainly don't recall each and every one. They are all bad at the time you are there, but the focus is on the job in hand, after it was just another incident! Sorry if that sounds hard or unsympathetic but thats life.

Gotta feel sorry for the poor copper who witnessed the M56 minibus crash, then had to deal with it on his own till more help arrived..
