This picture shows that it could certainly have been a lot worse, whilst two deaths and twelve injuries are very tragic indeed, the time of day and the location that the wreckage fell on contributed to a lower casualty toll:



The weather in London certainly would be bad for flying this morning though, going across the Dartford bridge was interesting, couldn't see the ground nor the tops of the bridge supports.

Despite the two deaths I think it could be said that Lady Luck was looking down on London yesterday.

Very lucky indeed
