Lanterne Rouge Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 It`s a terrible situation and just goes to show how fragile life is. Four blokes went to work expecting as always to be home for their tea with their families with no reason to think otherwise. RIP to the four and particular condolences to our fellow red @bcfc01 for your personal loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
