As a sort of strange co-incidence, I was actually writing my own Livejournal entry, when Lauri alerted me to some big breaking news in Dublin.
C/p'd from RTE news
"21 people have been injured, three seriously, after a collision involving a Luas tram and a bus on O'Connell Street in Dublin.
The driver of the Luas had to be cut from the wreckage by emergency services.
The accident occurred just after 3pm this afternoon."
