For those who had not heard of it, this incident happened on Thursday afternoon. It did not make the national news because of the London tower block fire. Something went catastrophically wrong and two men are now dead with another two seriously injured. It saddens me that they went through active service in Iraq and Afghanistan only to come to grief in the UK while not on active service. May the dead rest in peace and the survivors and all the families be comforted.
