It's dreadful And like YR I hope all our Scottish friends are ok 

I checked my niece was ok. Her work is five mins away from George Square and she was out at lunchtime, she's fine thank god. Iwas at that spot yesterday waiting at a bustop. RIP for the poor people killed

I've just turned the telly over 

 

Tragic  

very tragic 

Some witnesses say that the driver was slumped over the wheel, sounds like he took ill, he's in hospital, not confirmed though, it looks like a horrible tragic accident

Now confirming 6 dead

Oh how sad I'm assuming the pavements would have bee heaving with people too.. Those poor families. The driver if recovers will feel so bad if was illness that caused such tragedy  

There's a Christmas fair in the square with carnival rides and stalls so the area would be extra busy, so sad

From one eye witness account on TV there may be young children involved. A terrible day for many

 

It's just awful, the bin lorry ot seems mounted the pavements the poor folk didn't stand chance, talk of children involved. Heartbreaking

The force has launched a dedicated number - 01786 289070 - for anyone who has concerns about relatives or friends. It has also urged people in the city centre to let relatives know they are safe and well.

  very sad and tragic 

 

hope all our Scottish FM's on here are safe 

Nine people taken to hospital r

Terribly sad . 

 

absolutely horrific, what a tragic thing to happen 

lisa's mom just said to watch the news

we've had dvds on all day

 

bloody hell

thats horrible

 

 

Horrific tragedy.

 

I wonder if the driver was taken ill or similar.

 

eyewitness said he was slumped over the wheel-so maybe heart attack? dunno

Dreadful news. So awful and so near Christmas.

Terrible news

Just awful God bless them

Terribly sad

Just awful, a family, mother, father and granddaughter all gone, those poor people, just awful. Obviously the others too. But too lose your parents and your child in one fell swoop. Hideous, just hideous.

I saw that earlier Cinds, A nana and granda and grandaugter all wiped out in the same tragic accident 

It's just awful. 

 

Id been saying to Mr C, with regards to my friend that died earlier this year, it's going to be awful this year, the first is always hard! But they will have a happy Christmas somewhere down the line.

 

BUT, these poor families that have lost, they will never have another happy Christma, it will always be in their minds this tragedy.

Such a tragedy for everyone involved.

I've Just read this!

A Catholic clergyman describes how he cried with a woman who saw her daughter
and parents die in a bin lorry crash which killed six people in Glasgow.

 

Bad enough to lose them all in one go - worse to have seen it happen!!!!

 

Unimaginable!

so awful  - unthinkable
