Penelope Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago A car has driven through barriers and into a Christmas market killing 11 and injurying north of 80, so far. This will be far reaching for Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago At least two dead and 68 injured according to BBC news. No mention of a bomb unless I’ve missed it. Awful. Yet more families grieving at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet more families grieving at Christmas. A possible bomb was mentioned in some reports last night. Nothing was found in the car. The German Police are presuming he was working alone. A Saudi Arabian Doctor with full residency status (2016) who had been in the country since 2006. What used to called a "sleeper" in my day. Absolutely shocking, thankfully the death rate was not far higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Another awful event from a 'hidden' attacker. All Xmas markets there are protected with concrete barriers, after the previous attack the other year when 12 died. Unfortunately, there was a car-width gap in these barriers where he got through. Shocking but unstoppable, but also preventable re barrier placement ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case that is plain negligence, I mean why on earth would you leave a cars width when the barriers are there to stop vehicles.

I'm not saying anyone should be singled out and blamed for this. Probably just an oversight or the gap left for a particular reason. Regretful for sure, but no witch hunt.

Mungler Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I got this in group text: ‘be honest though, it doesn't seem like Christmas without a bunch of people being flattened in a German market by someone of a particular religious persuasion’ it struck a chord because a couple of people from work went to the Bruge Xmas market 2 weeks ago and I did actually think ‘I hope they’ll be alright and don’t get mown down by the next loon in a truck.. ‘. And it’s now where we sort of expect it and just hold our breath for the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regretful for sure, but no witch hunt. Or maybe the guy forced through a tight gap ? No doubt more details will be revealed. Whatever, more unnecessary deaths 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
