This reminds me of so many other nightclub fires including The Station nightclub fire where pyrotechnics set the ceiling alight, and there was a narrow exit out. It is nearly always the case in such situations that many victims will fall and be trampled. It's not the fault of people panicking...

Hope this prevents anyone ever again suggesting this is the fault of Liverpool fans. This is a man whose rage could not be stopped. As for Marines-based PTSD?! He bit a man's ear off!

Sad to hear this. Wonder if she flatly denied pregnancy to the people around her, and they suspected and that's why they did the check after the noises. A shame they weren't close enough to find out the truth sooner but I suspect she pushed back and hard. I always start by wanting to hear more...

Plenty of women have given birth without being able to ask for help; most women who've ever been to a baby group will have heard at least one anecdote about a sudden bathroom birth. That's not the unbelieveable part. I think we just have to wait for more news to come out. Some women suffer...

Thinking on the possibility that he was there to meet someone, were there any hobbies he was into that might be involved - gaming, getting a rare collectible, anything like that?

Let's be very careful how we phrase things, remembering the fans are the victims. When they got annoyed by the car, it was already driving erratically down a road that should have had no cars on it. The phrasing here (twice) suggests blame. I am from Merseyside and the fans here have a history...

Pretty much every woman knows that it can be scary having an unknown male walking behind them at speed. Often that fear is not founded in anything specific and many men are just trying to get to their destination. But our sure knowledge that if they mean us danger, they will probably be able to...

Ah apologies, I didn't realise that he'd been asked specifically. Doh!

But who's to say he bothered working it out? What I mean is, we may not be able to read too much into his decision to buy a single because he might have just thought 'I want to go to London' and not been concerned about whether there was a more cost-effective ticket available.

Would he have definitely known that it's cheaper/better to buy a return than two singles? My son gets the train home from school every day. He gets singles (because we drive him there) so I'm not sure he even knows what a return is. Now I imagine if Andrew used the train regularly or with...

I don't understand why the parents called her death in? I'm glad they did so they can face some form of justice, but did they just think no one would notice the neglect? Appalling.

When water is nearby and someone goes missing, it's nearly always the water. I'd dearly love it not to be, and I don't think I'm alone in this, so this is perhaps why people enjoy or consider conspiracy theories about what else might've happened. Any alternative is better than the obvious scenario.

Will be interested to find out more of the details on this one. I do believe it's possible to do this accidentally (didn't author Nicholas Evans have this happen to him and friends/family?), but it is currently sounding quite odd that the cook managed to avoid it herself. But maybe the fact her...

There must be a fair few exhibits around the world. I've been to the Titanic exhibition at the Maritime Museum in Liverpool a couple of times over the decades and they have a lot. A very moving exhibition.

I have known a prem baby choke on milk and die at a few months old (shortly after coming home from hospital so still quite vulnerable). He was being held upright at the time. Just one of those things. It seems odder here at first glance because the twins have already been in the news, but it's a...
