/watch?v=Bd6P_8SJOws  watch it!

A lovely bloke lost his life stopping people crossing Workington bridge before it collapsed. Who knows how many lives he saved at the expense of his own. Even now some people in Cockermouth cannot move into their homes.

Evidently YouTube cannot determine the mental and intellectual stability of some people who allowed to comment, it really makes you wonder what their parents are like.

[sethmtut]

whoah it looks really fun! imagine how good it would be whizzing around on a jet ski

[Robfoxman]

yeah very fun, are you for real?

[Rick0rz]

I've removed the messages. Sadly, Youtube doesn't stop 12 year old boys from making crude comments automatically.

Nice to see Gordon Brown pledge £1 Million in aid to the region. However, the day before he gave Pakistan £34 Million to rebuild business and agriculture. Good on ya Gord.

[ToonandBBfan]

So sorry for all the people effected by this.

I'm glad I live up a hill

[smithdvr]

My heart goes out to all who have and are suffering this disaster.

I sincerely hope the government offers real help and actins not just words.

Ironically, it was EXACTLY THE SAME weather system the coast of Virginia got hit with a week earlier!!! We're all the same to the power of the ocean.

TASK UNLIMITED a company set up in heaven now on earth. You will know when the time is near, there will be earthquakes and floods. Earth on a 9 degree tilt off it's axis, unnoticeable to man, has a inferior atom breaking down and crashing on all fronts, it's over. I can see you all busting your butts off trying to keep it all going, what we up here are wrapping up, my universe all into the size of a pea, so dense nothing can lift it, a slow process with an immediate result, well do something.

[TheEnjaypee]

are you for real?! dick

[gilyat]

To Godtomanonly ...Keep taking the tablets! In fact get your prescription changed, the one's you have are obviously not working!

[werdna230667]

your a prick!!!

why don't you keep your stupid comments to yourself!!! there is people here that have lost everything and you comment like this!! you must have copied and pasted as you have the same on other video's doppy bastard

[mishnok]

Whilst I understand your anger at the previous comment, I've got to say that the grammar and spelling in your reply is amongst the worst I've ever seen. Did you actually attend school?

[coolfoschool]

very true

[ISNEddERSI]

sorry ash u insensative arsehole!!!!

[Blackadderthefourth]

it's just life not global warming......

hope my friends are ok ):

[coolaclaim4]

has the top end of derwent street been hit

[iamguyster]

No idea. I havent been able to get to that side of town. I would imagine it has as that part of town took it really bad from the helicopter footage. Don't worry though, the rescuers managed to get to everyone.

[janebusby]

hy does nodbody want to mention the 'G' word anymore when reporting these floods?

This is NOT paranoia, it IS GLOBAL WARMING.

We NEED a deal in COPENHAGEN.

Our living conditions, our crime levels, our food supplies, our energy grids, our transportation, our medical services, our diplomatic relations and future wars will ALL depend on the action we take (or don't take) NOW!

WAKE UP!

It's not just the end we should be afraid of, it's the increasingly rocky journey to the end.

[Ash36uk]

Global warming -0 what a load of rubbish!! I bet you're a Labour supporter!

It's called life, things change in life, deal with it!!

[sarahcoiles]

[iamguyster]

I saw a group saved from the Trout. They sounded as if they had been fine. In fact my wife fed a group in the Bitter End pub.

Hope they are OK!

[sarahcoiles]

[iamguyster]

It's still rising.

I've just been back down the street and the spot where I filmed this is now under about 4 foot of water!

[ISNEddERSI]

[Ash36uk]

It's not global warming, it's called life, things change in life, deal with it!
