Incident outside harveys?

Sully

Was passing through town tonight on my way home and the road to harveys was closed. Lots of Guards and Ambulance crew. The main enterance to harveys was closed at the time with blue & white tape (assume its the Guards one) covering the enterance. Think its business as usual as people are entering using another enterance. Also, the road may have re-opened since. Going to assume its something to do with the WIT Christmas day which brings large crowds of people onto the streets and often there are pretty bad accidents. Might be something else though.

A wall is suppose to have collapsed inside of Harveys. Atleast 5 people injured. Was talking to a friend of mine who was in there.

On a point of order, I thought idle speculation about such incidents wasnt allowed on this forum? Or does this only apply in certain cases?

Accusations against a particular group isnt. Speculation in general is.

Harveys is open but the main door is secured by that blue and white tape.

Well if it's still open can't be that bad.

The small wall with the railing on top literally fell over. It's still in one piece, just on its side. Apparently a girl's leg was broken. Dunno how true that is though as there was also a rumour going around that she fell out in front of a car and was killed. :rolleyes:

Heard it was the small wall outside too, thing is they built that wall so they can expect a claim now

Tis offical anyway. On Beat just there - the wall outside Harveys gave way and trapped people underneath. People brought to hospital but no serious injuries.

daftdave

there is no wall outside harveys, is there not just a railing embedded into the footpath ?????

owenmakken

Obviously the wall was badly built so its nothing to do with drunken shenanigans, hope they take them to the cleaners - anyone whoi cuts corners on buildin even a wall should be flogged and read koran verses

ah yes there is, the railing is ontop of a very small wall maybe a foot and a half high

Apparently it was a terrorist attack on harveys , They have arested one for questioning , A certain Bob Tweedy was seein reversing into the wall to try and stop the crowd getting into harveys and tryed to redirect them to rubys and adjoining pubs and clubs.

They are not ruling out an al queda attack also .

It was an accident waiting to happen. Apparently some shady builder called Mr. Reilly built in back in the 70s before being hounded off to Torquay.

i heard the wall inside collapsed inside and 30 people were trapped under it, bit of an exaguration i think.

Just some ****ty little wall fell down and i was talkin to a friend who was workin in the hospital and he said that nobody had anything actully wrong with them and they were either jsut milking it or they were just so drunk they were going to the hospital anyway!:D

Pretty hilarious if you ask me. But then it's my first time hearing it :cool:

I was in harveys last night... all got hooked out after the incident... some girl did get taken in an ambulance... fire truck was outside also... place was cleared fairly lively.. but dont take my view to much cos i was mangle
badgered!!:P

chrism2007

as mentioned the wall was 1.5 foot high and had no foundation.


if it was anywhere else and there was no chance of money it would have been laughed off.

Sully

Who actually was responsible for the wall? Harveys or the Council? Or someone else? I cant see many suing, as I would imagine the damage was little and most people were probably fairly drunk at the time! Surely a judge wouldn't take much notice of such a complaint?!

chrism2007

id imagine it would be harveys as there the ones that built it apparently.
