another "major" catastrophe struck the wee isle moments ago. this time a work-in-progress building site saw one dead and twenty eight injured. all assumed to be foreign construction workers.
i must add that's the official word; as an ex-coursemate has just emailed, saying it was yet another tube/subway station along a planned route called the Circle Line. it's not a rumour as she works near to the accident site.
only just last tuesday a portion of a highway collapsed due to wobbly retaining walls at a Circle Line tube station. four workers lost their lives, fifteen others a harrowing escape. miraclously, there wasn't any vehicle travelling on the highway at time of the disaster.
anyways, overheard some wag commented life here is interesting after all; as there ain't any natural disasters like earthquakes, tornadoes, typhoons and such like befallen on the wee isle.
touch wood.
