From the BBC Gloucestershire website:

Severn Bridge Disaster Explained

The statements he collected provide more detail from George Thompson and James Dew, the two skippers involved, regarding the decisions they made that night, in the minutes after their vessels had collided and become joined together.

Sorry - too good to pass this up! :D

Remarkable tale of an ordinary night gone wrong.

But you have me .....



.....In response to this report officials at the Board of Trade were fairly complementary about Thompson's handling of the Arkendale H but issued some tempered criticism of the decisions made by Dew on the Wastdale H.
