Millennium Hotel and Clarkston

Through archive footage, emotional testimony from those impacted by the events, and interviews with journalists who covered the stories, this programme examines two disasters that have shocked the nation. In this episode, we revisit 2013 and the bin lorry crash. Just days before Christmas, a bin lorry lost control, veering into pedestrians before crashing into the Millennium Hotel at Glasgow’s George Square. Back in 1971, a gas explosion at a shopping centre in Clarkson resulted in tragedy.
