No wonder Hugh Walters, the man with the car in this picture is smiling. He's lucky to be alive
Lucky that he was not still sitting at the driving wheel when tons of rubble came crashing down in Lisle-street, Soho, yesterday ( and crushed his old saloon car. 
School teacher Walters, 27, left his home in Beatrice-avenue, Norbury, and drove into London to keep an appointment at a hospital in Soho. Friends had warned him: Be careful where you park your car. The police are always towing cars away. Hugh looked around carefully when he reached Lisle-street. There was a nice clear space near a hoarding. He parked there, nipped out and went to the hospital. Fifteen minutes later he returned - to Chaos. There were fire engines, ambulances, crowds and a pall of dust. A four- storey building under demolition had collapsed and fifty tons of brickwork lay in the roadway. Police had seen the danger and cleared the street of people in time. No one was hurt. The only casualty was Hugh's car. Hours later it was towed out, dented, smashed and bent. July 1960

In one appalling moment, a busy road, a typical just-round-the-corner shopping street, in the Clarkston area of Glasgow, Scotland, became a street of horror. The street was packed with wives doing the shopping. Everywhere there was laughter and chatter as happy children played. Then, at 2.52 in the afternoon, there was a deafening blast. Like a pack of cards, eleven shops collapsed into rubble. Cars on a rooftop car park above them plunged into the debris. There were screams and cries for help amid the confusion as rescuers tried to save the victims. At least eleven people died in the terror. Another fifty-two were injured. The explosion is thought to have been caused by a gas leak.
