Roller coaster crash at Alton Towers

To be fair, on the flip side, I've seen a lot of people on twitter saying things along the lines of "It better still be open cause I'm going" and "I'm still going on The Smiler", I know it's a 1 in a million sort of incident, but christ, the lack of compassion is frightening.

Okay. I have been told by a source who works in a&e, that all 4 of the reported teens have lost one or both of their legs. NO Fatalities

With breaking news like this you should work for Fox News.

I couldn't believe the amount of people tweeting the parks official twitter account criticising the closure of the particular area of the park!

The only breaking News I claimed was the original article. The rest I have clearly stated I think (and hope) they are rumours. Love to all those involved and affected by this horrible incident

4 people's lives could be ruined and they just care about getting their moneys worth.

Witnesses have told BBC News that there was 'blood everywhere' following the collision.

It was just funny how your posts kind of unfolded. I'm only playing with you.

ahhhhh stopppppppppppp I'm terrified what if I go thorpe park or something and saw decides to malfunction right when it's at the top ahhh the horror

As I said in an earlier post, millions of people ride hundreds of thousands of roller coasters each day without incident.

This is the biggest disaster of its kind in this country in 20 years. You are two times more likely to be hit by lightening.

I guess that's why things like this are so terrifying, because they're very rare.

This will only add to my fear of roller coasters. I will never go on one.

I'm still gonna go there tomorrow

I don't like feeling trapped.
