danielrocks Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 yeah certainly looks a mess, and just heard that the rescue package were a little trigger happy too, of course this is only what i've heard from itv, and understandably a lot of tension in the area, so nerves are high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielrocks Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 and the civilians involved still all smiles too, which could have been worse, at least the boys came down in the 'right side of town', wouldn't like to think of other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
