Using archival footage, heartfelt accounts from those affected, and insights from journalists who reported on the incidents, this episode delves into two tragedies that left a profound impact on the nation. We look back at the 2013 bin lorry crash, which occurred just days before Christmas when a runaway bin lorry plowed into pedestrians before colliding with the Millennium Hotel in Glasgow's George Square. Additionally, we explore the catastrophic gas explosion at a shopping center in Clarkson that took place in 1971, leaving behind a devastating legacy.
