Not sure if this should be in here but as so many of us have been to Dublin and The Clarence I thought I would post.

...this is so sad... - "Saturday February 21, 05:13 PM - Runaway bus kills five in Dublin - DUBLIN (Reuters) - A double-decker bus has mounted a pavement in central Dublin, killing five people and injuring nearly 20 others, seven of them seriously, police say. The bus, which was not carrying any passengers at the time, apparently went out of control, swerving onto the pavement and ploughing into a queue of people waiting to board another bus, a police spokesman said. The dead were three women and two men. A public transport spokeswoman said it was the worst accident in the history of Dublin Bus, which runs a fleet of 1,100 vehicles and carries half a million passengers a day. "We've never ever had anything on this scale before," spokeswoman Grainne Mackin told reporters. "We'll be carrying out a full investigation as soon as we can." The accident happened on Saturday beside Dublin's River Liffey, at a bus stop directly in front of the landmark Clarence Hotel, owned by members of Irish rock group U2. Most of those killed or injured had been waiting at the bus stop, Mackin said, adding that no children had been hurt. The drivers of both buses were taken to hospital. Several people were trapped under the bus until emergency crews arrived at the scene. Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, who arrived shortly after the accident to speak to fire and ambulance crews, described the scene as "terrible carnage" and "a dreadful sight", and offered his sympathies to the families of the dead and injured." - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040221/325/emlcz.html - God Bless all the victms!
