Pity, fond memories of a night in the terrible club they had on that pier
|
Noooooooooooo those arcade machines D:
|
:xyxwave:
|
Where will all the old people sit now D:
|
there aren't any left, they were all inside when it went up.
|
RIP to the entire population of Eastbourne then

These piers tend to go up like Roman candles due to the fact that they are primarily made of wood and since the air can be drawn up from underneath the pier they burn very quickly.
Should be able to be restored. . |

Yes the Wood stated within a wall - so could be Dodgy Electrics But by the Sea you would think a Water Power Pump should be piped in to stop major fires. http://media.skynews.com/media/image...-1-329x437.jpg http://media.skynews.com/media/image...-1-329x437.jpg |

I hope the pier is structurally sound and the rest of the buildings safe :(

That Fire started behind
Hidden panels Typical rebuilt over rotten bits, over the years. The Fire Service should have have been told about old panels from years ago so they could pass them as safe This is all so typical Private Run Pier most on that section had not got insurance as it was due to start soon. |
