Oh no!

Eastbourne Pier is on fire, firefighters, coastguard etc are there fighting it as I type. The pier has been evacuated, fire started in the amusement arcade at the end of the pier.

That's Brighton West Pier, Hastings Pier and now Eastbourne Pier destroyed. A large part of Hastings Old Town was destroyed in a fire recently too.

Here's the link to the BBC report. I can hardly bear to look.

Re: Oh no!

Saw it on the news, it looks like it's absolutely wrecked.

It's such a horrible and shocking thing to happen in the middle of a summer day, high season and with a crowded beach and people on the other end of the pier having to get off quickly via the area where the fire had just been discovered.
