Yep you read this right ive just came back from the city center looking at irelands biggest christmas tree made out of steel falling over in a river! It was tied down the last few days and suddenly broke free! also the river is very high due to flooding. it bashed off the brige and bent over a small bit! Its now wedged and I will update you to tomorrow if therese any more news. its bent over and hopefully i will get some pictures uploaded. It is about 100 ft and bending over alot!!! It may fall in to the river totaly but for now it just about standing with rescue teams helping!!
