[pjw85]

i think the news reports with Alastair Stewart was going way too far.

[LieslWasUnavailable]

I can't help but laugh when the lamppost falls down.

[dreamergal57]

Why di dMollie run back inside? If she'd pegged it down the street, she could have lived. Maybe. Aw well, it's done.

[THUGCODE]

The effects were so shit!

[SuperJoshMario]

sweeties 1:12 lol

[Joehere2010]

I still get goosebumps when I watch this. One of the very few times Coronation Street has impressed me.

[CardboardFortress]

And I thought this show was just for old women with a love of tea and crumpets @.@

[TdafanficReal]

Ken: Peter's in there

Oh and a few other people but forget about them

[mozzajunior]

This was their only gripping storyline since Richard Hillman

[dreamergal57]

@AnOnlineWarrior yeah. that sound effect is more recycled than the wilhelm scream. :)

[DshankumMusic]

Best soap scene ever.

[intent100]

Fucking Lol the train starts 2 turn into a transformer

[drwhomasterfan]

The greatest thing to happen in Corrie since Richard

[Marcus3049]

[MarrgewStudios]

3:00 TRAMZIRRA!

[scudo1905]

24 months off sick for the driver. full pay. Compensation and a good pay off. another victim of David Camerons Benefit scavengers.

[HarryReeves2000]

2:59 it looks and sounds like godzilla falling off a bridge!

[spoiltcow]

No offence but every pne that's 'omg it's fake, done by computer' Well no? All this time I thought they really had crashed a real tram with a real driver off a real broken bridge. How stupid of me.

[weesplash]

3rd time doesn't do it any justice. FAKE!!!!

[weesplash]

Just watched it a 2nd time and I can confirm it is fake!

[weesplash]

DEFINITELY FAKE!!!

[MahooXD]

My Tram Experience

[StepsFan4Life]

@MahooXD i see what you did there

[SuperTruth77]

I enjoyed my days as a soap actor (fame & money were great), but quit due to frustration with lack of control over my character.

The show’s producers actually made me GAY, something totally against my moral principles. I suggested we could work it as a warning to viewers- I could act in a predatory way as gays usually do, maybe abducting a young boy or something. However, they said I had to be a ‘sympathetic role model’. Fed up, I put in a request to be killed off by AIDS, which was accepted.

[Cartoonking3rd]

soon it will be the first anniversary. I wonder if they will have like a 2 minute silence for the survivors who didnt make it?

[Snowmadboy]

1:05 John: Oh Yes!

[DaRapperJoe]

poor john his dead now aww well

[Marcus3049]

Check out my video called 180 dart today. The start picture is a grey carpet but it is well worth watching. ;) please comment. Also check out: Parma violet in water- reaction?

[Emmaajb]

"Omg" Anyone would have thought a TOY train had crashed the way Kevin said it

[themightyboush]

what kind of father just says '-child's name- is in there' calmly instead of saying

'-child's name-!!!!!!' hysterically

[Renneskid]

Wow. That was the shittest thing I've ever seen. No wonder Coronation Street hasn't won awards in ages. Everybody should just switch over to Eastenders. That's where real stories happen. I've never seen such a blatant attempt to shock and draw in more viewers.

[Andrewsmiith]

@Renneskid I hate to join the immature 'Eastenders vs Corrie' thing, but if you're gonna go there with no real basis for arguement, I will!....Eastenders also had a 'big disaster' in 2010, one that was just as hyped as this was....only when the Queen Vic burned down, no-one died and the 'aftermath' lasted for what, two episodes?? (it was just and excuse for Peggy to leave). THIS killed off three main characters, destroyed 4 buildings and spawned other storylines, so which was more relevant??

[Renneskid]

@Andrewsmiith You're forgetting the baby-snatch storyline, which to date is one of the most successful story lines in soap history. EastEnders has BY FAR a better and more able cast. It tackles stories that no other soap would dare. Ratings in July recently showed that Coronation Street dropped it's viewing figures by 2 million, Eastenders averages 11-12 million viewers every day, whilst Coronation Street averages 8-9. In addition, Coronation Street has advert breaks, though now i'm being picky.

[Andrewsmiith]

@Renneskid 11-12 million each day!? 10 years ago maybe. It consistently flitters between 8 and 9 million, and Corrie is pretty much the same, though it is more often than not, the 'winner' of the two.(source: Digital Spy)

As for the baby swap being successful? People were talking about it yes, but what they were saying didn't exactly paint Eastenders in a good light, and rightly so. It was a horrible, insensitive storyline. It unnecessarily sensationalised a horrible 'close to home' event.

[silverandsonic]

@Madcope2k9 That's because she's a fictional character.

[kyesty]

The most fake thing on tv, since Katie prices tits!

[curtisjaylol]

@kyesty How is this fake. It's amazing.

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

That was awesome

[musiclistenerliberal]

@keith4291 :)

[musiclistenerliberal]

@keith4291 the tracks are on the ground and go through the middle of the city or outside. I live in America

[musiclistenerliberal]

so in the UK trains travel above people's roofs?!

[5tonney]

Hahahahahaha Spielberg effects Jesus Christ hahaha most pathetic thing I've ever seen specially when the tram stands on end and roars like a dinosaur hahaha can't believe all these saddos are commenting "nerv racking" get a life Jesus hahahahahaha

[Chewy2nd]

@5tonney lol haha innit well ard lol haha

[molliehaworth]

0.56, you can see the taxi where the taxi driver was the 3rd death.

[8484terry]

thx for posting this, I had missed this episode! Corrie rocks

[Aimee6784]

My God.... 2:59 is scary!

Watching this still gives me goosebumps.... :(

And it makes me cry.... (not in this part but the part when Molly pulls down baby Jack's blanket and he cries ;( ...... sob)

[sausagefestify]

The first minute of this is amazing, fantastic editing

[Princessgb4ever]

Molly is my Nan's best friends daughter :D

[aircadetgirl]

Still gives me the creeps watching this BUT.....one thing im curious about...Why was the trams still running at midnight on new years eve/day????! x

[matthewmartinx]

@aircadetgirl - it wasn't midnight and it wasn't new years eve, it was a random day.

[aircadetgirl]

@matthewmartinx was it not? damn. getting my events mixed up lol x

[Godshound]

@aircadetgirl it wasnt on new years eve. it was a pre-xmas party in early december

[kowyn2]

Holly crap I might just start watching Coronation Street now.

[NyappyRawrrr]

I don't watch Corrie anymore but because of everyone talking about this scene, I thought I'd check it out. So, sorry to sound stupid, but why does the building explode? This is the only clip I've seen to understand. :)

[XxMCR999MCRxX]

@NyappyRawrrr What this clip doesn't show is the Bistro (the building) has a gas leak due to dodgy builders causing an explosion on the opening night.

[NyappyRawrrr]

@XxMCR999MCRxX Ah, right, thank you! 

[SophieEASF]

Ken: "Peter's in there" (he says calmly)

Fiz: "JOHNNN!! JOHNNNNNNNNNNN! JOOOOOOOOOOOOOHNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!­!!!!"

[peter08xxx]

This episode sends chills down my spine!

10/10

[cahanw]

sucks for the tram driver

[OfficialJab]

I've never seen this show, my parents watch it. But I was curious enough to look this up after they were talking about it. Extraordinarily moving scene, despite me not knowing who anyone is. Speaks well of the direction, and the cast/crew in general.

[gkntym]

@Madcope2k9 Ikr

[chokeonpeanuts]

I remember watching this, me and my family were all right on the edge of our seats and were completely silent.

[flippers229]

I was crying coz of rita :)

[tokiokoetai]

Don't think I ever cried so much during an episode :( I have watched this show ever since I was a little kid...after it cutting there, I thought "Oh my god. All my favourites are going to die!" Such an emotional episode especially for those who have watched this show forever because you're really invested in the characters.

[MrMarkuk1]

omg i dont wach this but omg

[yourayseven]

BILLY MITCHELL FTW

[hatty4444]

I love how they have kevin standing there in the end .. since he has been there since the very first episode of coronation street

[DaDude261]

Final Destination: The TV Series.

[canadaboy999]

That will teach Rita to stuff her face with chocolate hob nobs. Tram - 1 Rita - 0

[coolsomeXD]

hehe still makes me laugh.

[PlayForMeASymphony]

oh my god  this makes our American soaps look like pablum

[av8james]

Not even a tram crash won them best soap, what is so entertaining depressed cockneys being miserable all the time?? Corrie FTW :). RIP to the cardboard cut-out driving the tram :(

[CharlieWClark]

RIP to all those who died in this tragic accident. Manchester and the whole world remembers all those who were on that tragic tram. You all live on in our hearts forever. God Bless

[PastExpiryDotCom]

@CharlieWClark No one was actually on the tram, just the driver. He was heading back to the depot.

[pufferfishish]

@CharlieWClark It's not real, you know.

[louietherock]

this was this single best episode i have ever watched in 25 years

[MaidofFrankenstein]

Watched this last night and watching it now STILL gives me the same feeling. Hands STILL shaking as I watch this and my heart aches. American soap operas have nothing on this episode.

[lincsposter]

@MaidofFrankenstein Totally agree! One thing we Brits can do is Soap drama!

[MaidofFrankenstein]

@lincsposter I know. Only thought that John killed Charlotte and that was it. Still don`t think that I would ever be able to keep truly calm if this EVER happened. Young and the Restless has nothing on this. People complain that none of the people are good looking. Yes, they`re good looking in different ways. Accents go a long way for me but i`m not going to fall in love with Eddie.

[itachi93674]

Im a dude and i dont usually watch soaps but coronation street always seemed so interresting to me. When i saw this ep i couldnt believe it

[bluelenne22]

I cant believe it we were like D: 

[fazer990]

I never understood how the back end of the train just seemed to jolt upright in the air??? LMAO it makes absolutely no sense

[matthewmartinx]

@fazer990 - yeah it does, how doesn't it?

[fazer990]

@matthewmartinx well it just goes off the tracks and into the shop head first, then randomly jumps up again? What would cause it to just jump up again as high as it did?

[cyndassprites]

This was the only episodes of Corrie I'd ever watched. Fantastic, it was British drama as it should be! I was pretty scared.

[MaidofFrankenstein]

@cyndassprites I know. Wasn`t expecting this at all. Thought that only John bashing Charlotte in the head would be the only surprise.

[Zaneslayer]

2:15 woman on the right is smiling LOL! xD you can tell it's live

[sexy65515]

thanks i didnt know that

[sexy65515]

I remeber this It was amazing effects Ive met some of the cast out of corrie

1. William Roache

2. Graham Hawley

3. Sue Nicolls

4. Chris Fountain

5. Kate Ford

6. Hayley Cropper dont know her real name,

[GAC1984]

@sexy65515 Actress who plays Hayley Cropper is Julie Hesmondhalgh (Prounced Hesomdhalsh)

[100dantv]

I read somewhere that ITV spent £1 million pounds to do that - Really? didn't seem that much. And lol at the fake ITV News bit ;-)

[lincsposter]

@ Zanac100 "Accept that and move on!" OMG! Don't watch then! Easy answer! Move on, get a real life!

[matthewmartinx]

@97channel - no one would watch it.

[zaniac100]

@cooljoemaz Nah they simply didn't like the video. That is actually allowed you know. You can't go through life 'liking' everything can you?

[mackey2k11]

i dnt realy corrie im a eastenders fan but dat explosion wass cool and i wud give it 8/10 cuz befour i hated it but nw i watch 20 4 7 soooooo i ges im a emmerdale/corrie/eastenders kina gall but i still lke my eastenders better but ahh corrie ntmtoo bad thumbs up if u agree (:

[matthewmartinx]

@mackey2k11 - was that in English?

[mackey2k11]

@matthewmartinx kill yourself :)...

[matthewmartinx]

@mackey2k11 - No thank you, I enjoy being alive.

[97channel]

If I were in charge of a soap, I'd make two golden rules...

1 - Nothing should ever explode / burn down / crash / collapse.

2 - Nobody will ever kill anyone / touch a gun / give anyone a smack / hold hostage / kidnap.

...If the result is a rubbish soap, then that's the whole point as to why I took those things away in the first place. To expose the fact that the writers aren't producing anything of substance, just lazy attention grabbing stunts.

[lincsposter]

@97channel What a pathetic comment! What planet do you live on? Your home page does not say! So I suppose for the 50th anniversary you would have suggested a pint in the pub and a packet of crisps? I seem to remember a Stanley Baxter sketch where he sends Edgar Lustgarten up.. (boring the whole world to death). Why watch it if you don't like soap? If we wrap audiences up in cotton wool, how would the real world have dealt with the tragedy in Norway?

[97channel]

@lincsposter Soap is meant to be a reflection of ordinary everyday lives. And whilst there are elements of that within the program, it has an increasing tendency (like all other soaps nowdays) to stray away from story telling and into a fantasy world where something majorly dramatic happens with ludicrous frequency.

I think your comment actually supports my point. If stripping the show of flash bang dramatics leaves only a bloke having a pint, then it has exposed the lack of thoughtful writing.

[lincsposter]

@97channel What a load of rubbish! You must live in a very dull environment! I suggest you stop watching sopa (that you seem to think you know a great deal about) and concentrate on something you find more stimulating ... like railway architecture, failed channel tunnel plans, or any conspiracy theory... and let those of us who watch them, watch them in peace. (Are you the guy ITV rejected as a scriptwriter?)

[zaniac100]

@97channel I agree. When I watch this clip I feel no engagement or emotion at all (there is no substance, just flashy stunt) but I imagine the technicalities of the pyrotechnics, the CGI, and the hackneyed forward track reverse zoom shot. I liked the Richard Hillman canal plunge but after that I stopped watching soaps. I think after his drowning I must have seen my 1000 deaths in soap and didn't feel I needed to see any more. (I was also curiously unmoved by the Emmerdale show home explosion.)

[zaniac100]

These days these soap disasters are a dime a dozen and lose all dramatic impact. When soap Number 96 did the bomb in 1975 fans were horrified and devastated. Unfortunately they also stopped watching the show after seeing several popular long running characters killed off.

[lincsposter]

@zaniac100 Very few cast were killed off in the show! And soap disaster might be a dime a dozen in Aus, but not in the UK - which probably explains why Coronation Street is the longest running continuous drama in the world.

[zaniac100]

@lincsposter I know who/how many died since the show airs in Aust(albeit only on cable). My observation about soap disasters refers to UK soap disasters, with the Mitchell car plunge on EastEnders getting low ratings. The dime a dozen comment was *my* opinion of UK soaps, and refers to my opinion of UK soap disasters. Aust only has 2 soaps, which few people in Aust watch, and they are mainly made for sale to the UK. They are light 'teen' soaps which rarely do disasters-not that sort of show.

[lincsposter]

@zaniac100 To make sense of Uk soap opears, you need to watch them all! Not only Corrie and Eastenders, but also Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. They all have the daily life of... included, but they also have what happens if... story lines. Bank robberies do take place! Factories/pubs do catch fire! Trains are involved in crashes! If you thought the next storyline was about a Polar Bear attacking a schoolboy you would say that was OTT ! Well it happened yesterday in Norway. 17yo killed by a polar bear!

[zaniac100]

@lincsposter I am simply giving my personal opinion. I do not really need to understand UK soaps - I'm just commenting on youtube about my personal opinion and not writing a PhD or editing a mainstream fan magazine on the subject. I never said this wasn't 'realistic'. I said I had no emotional reaction to it. The drama doesn't work for me. The whole multiple explosion thing didn't impress me. It seems hackneyed to me. Accept that that is my opinion and move on. Geez.

[bodsnvimto]

All very exciting, erm yes, at the time. Still give me the humour, give me the Barlows at Peter's AA meeting.

[joemufc2]

@cooljoemaz i wish 1 person had

[GAC1984]

Wow. It was great TV. Corrie were great in their 50th year and the live episode was great. Well Done to Corrie.

[scarletXmay]

"Peter's in there."

Oh I do love Ken. He's usually so calm in moments of distress. :')

[leahcharliephillips]

omg i fogot how fuckin amazing thats was omg omg omg lol xd

[ItZTheWinklePicker]

Rita got owned by sweets XD

[thedoctorand]

If this is what they do for their 50th Anniversary, imagine what they'll do for their 100th.

[dogsoli]

this was sooo ahit hahaha it looks ridiculous

[Jeremih15]

lol coronation street is so far behind eastenders that the best storyline they could come up with is a train falling on a town. Lol thats a well thought out deep story there.

[weatherallc05]

coronation street takes the cockneys of eastenders to the cleaners. this stunt was perfectly coordinated, but my god it was some devastating stuff.take note BBC!

[Kaynas1988]

@reedy122, That's her son Jack that Mollie is running with

[Kaynas1988]

Hree is a piece of advice to all those of you who have put negative comments on here don't watch the video if u think it's crap or shit

[Kaynas1988]

@Austerers Janice doesn't die, she was still in The Rovers Return when the tram crashed into the corner shop and when the explosion happened at The Joinery

[Kaynas1988]

@tillybobtail, the only other person I knew died other then Molly and Ashley was Charlotte

[BeeRsounds]

if only manchester really was this fun

[tartarcreamxx]

honestly out of everyone, i was most worried about the tram driver! :P thank goodness he survived!!

[MrClassicDoctorWho]

LMAO AT THE NEWS AT THE END! xD

[DuelWieldingGamers]

I felt the sorriest for rita. While everybody was fighting she was reaching for some sweeties. And she never got them!!

[legendary1996]

Kens face when he sees the tram is epic

[coombeslauren]

how convenient that the tram was empty... xD

[EMMAWONDERLAND1]

What a half real life programme!!!

[bettyboop484]

OMFG

[snowdrop857]

Whho's still crying at this in 2011...? I know I am...x

Long Live Corriee..

[TheChocolateCheese]

Fuck Eastenders, Hollyoaks, Casualty, Waterloo road, Heartbeat and Emmedale..

Coronation street is the symbol of everything that's great in Britain!

[billfarrell]

i can imgine Blanche if she was still alive, she would say something like

"another typical day inweatherfield"

[TehMoovehNerd]

I dont even know who that ginger bitch is at 2:17 but shes SO FUCKING ANNOYING

[Kaynas1988]

@TehMoovehNerd that ginger bitch happens to be Fiz Brown
