Air ambulance landed on lordship lane estate at around 2.30pm. As it physically landed in the middle of the estate I don't think this is the cause of road closure at plough.. It has now gone, as of 4pm. Walked over to the shop and was out on the estate, traffic was still moving up lordship lane both ways throughout incident. Is it open again now?

On another thread here somebody has posted that two people died and two were seriously injured in an accident on Lordship Lane today, unfortunately.


I don't know whether that is referring to the same accident, or whether that information is accurate.


Very sad news if so.


ETA: Sorry, post crossed with the one above.

I was walking home this afternoon due to the buses terminating at goose green, passing the accident I was shocked and amazed at people standing looking at the accident and taking photos and videos on their phones. What has the world come to? I commented to a few people 'why are you taking photos' "why not" was there reply.


I hope no one was hurt due to the accident.

im glad it wasnt just me that thought that as well, elephant i had to walk past the same accident as you, with my 13 year old son, we were both shocked at the people just standing around takin pictures and video and laughing, you could just see them poor people in the accident were in a really bad way,and they need medical help,it is so sad the way the world is going, them pictures and videos were probably posted all over the internet last night, i wonder if they new 2 people died from that crash..................... so sad

"What has the world come to"?


People have been gawking at accidents since the dawn of time. The only difference nowadays is that almost everyone has a camera.


Go back even to the 1950s and you had hundreds if not thousands of people gathering outside prisons when a hanging took place.

Yes, agreed.


Unfortunately it's part of human nature.


Some/many people slow down to gawp at accidents on the motorway, if there's anything to see.

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
