Was actually in Glasgow for a stag night over the weekend, was surprised when it started pouring in concerned messages late friday night/early sat morning as we didn't hear about it until the morning. I still don't get how it happened, but I'm glad Hollywood is wrong because if the fuel had cought fire, that would have taken a REAL nasty turn.
