OlympicIRL 5,035 Posted October 8, 2022 #7205 Share Posted October 8, 2022 5 hours ago, OlympicIRL said: Devastating news unfolding in my home place of Donegal. A nearby village from my workplace suffered a heartbreaking tragedy yesterday as an explosion at a petrol station has claimed the lives of 7 people already with many more still missing and many critical in hospital As I was leaving work yesterday afternoon I saw lots of emergency services travelling with sirens and I had wondered what on Earth was happening as I saw them travelling. I was shocked later to hear what had happened. Creeslough is a small village with a population of just 400 and I can’t even imagine how things will ever go back to normal there. This was the centre of the village, the only shop but it was also the location of the post office, hairdresser, agricultural store and contained apartments. It happened just after 3pm when the local schools had finished for the day and old people also were coming to collect their pension. Thoughts and prayers to all the victims and their families https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63183510.amp Number of dead has now risen to 10 including 3 children. The youngest casualty is a young girl and her father who stopped off to buy some sweets as a Friday treat after school finished for the week No one else is unaccounted for at the scene so they don’t expect to find any more victims at the location. There are a further 8 people transported to hospital, one of whom was transferred to Dublin and is believed to be in critical condition. It is also believed that all victims are local. An unbelievable tragedy for this small community. hckošice and phelps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the glorifying of innocent people getting killed. (As long as these stamps are real of course) phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,659 Posted October 10, 2022 #7207 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I’m curious if any other countries/states/regions /etc. have “dueling” holidays like we have in California/U.S today. I was reminded today was Indigenous Peoples’ Day in California when my university welcomed indigenous groups to perform folk songs/dances on campus. However, other states and the federal government celebrate the day as Columbus Day, or in some cases, celebrate both as a holiday today. It’s a weird situation that rises from the legacy of colonization in the Americas and modern political discourse. I’m curious if there are situations of “duel” holidays like this in other places because it’s odd seeing different messaging for established holidays on the same day. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
