A worker on the dock where 33 people were injured when a ship tipped over in high winds has said it was “so scary”.
Scaffolder James Walsh said he heard a "loud noise" when the RV Petrel crashed onto its starboard side in a dry dock at Leith Docks in Edinburgh shortly after 8.30am on Wednesday. The ship, believed to be owned by a branch of the US Navy, is now leaning at a precarious 45-degree angle in the dock.
A total of 21 people were taken to hospitals in Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy for treatment. All but eight have either been released or are awaiting discharge; of those still in care, a number are said to have serious injuries.
