  • whoa!! cool video... i hope no one was hurt during that time... i even thought the whole roof was falling... :) awww!!!

  • Pfft....They need to get there asses to Norway

  • 'Avalanche' , my arse !. pathetic

  • woow looks like a shit loads of baby powder hardly and avalanche, come one Uk stop making ourselfs look pethetic

  • I hope there were no more Scottish widows created by that.

  • Во всём виновата Валентина Матвиенко, зараза не убирает снег ! : ) : ) : )

  • Sooo was the guy waiting for the snow to fall? Why was the camera on

  • @EyeHi Looking at the camera angle, it appears to be a CCTV camera from SWIP, Scot Wid's fund management arm across the road.... How that came to be on BBC is a different kettle of fish...

  • @specialfx34 I know few cases that dropping snow and ice have killed people, even if building was half of its size it could still kill someone if snow hits in the neck. I see you dont live in a country which has real winters every year.

  • why don't you all get a life, stop wasting time and go and pray to Allah since that would be more sufficient for you in this life and the hereafter.

  • poor peole

  • da

  • What a pity it did'nt hit those people at the bottom, after all they are only taxi drivers!!!

  • hmm asylum.co.uk and scottish widows

  • Schottish Widows?

  • @thePRINTERisOUTofINK I spelt Scottish wrong. Sorry, I'm English, no offence ...LOL

  • @thePRINTERisOUTofINK Its a bank in scotland

  • @amazingmason34 Scottish Widows is not a bank - it's a life and pensions company. It may be owned by a bank (Lloyds Banking Group plc), but it is not a bank in it's own right.

    

  • @pinkygod I Know, he is.

  • Seriously, I've read nearly every single comment here and I can only sum it up in one word...TOTAL CRAP.

    I doubt the person who actually posted this video (all credit to him/her for putting up with all of this off-topic crap) wanted you all to argue about global warming and swime flu. Then again I see a few clever, mature people who seem much more clever than all the prats who posted all of the off-topic crap and all credit to them as well.

    Seriously, grow up.

    Great video though =)

  • Fucking youtube, I note with glee that this video is about snow falling off a roof, yet the conversation has managed to include Global Warming, The New World Order, Sharks, Nazis and UFO's.

    I fear for our future, the youth of today have shit for brains.

  • I was there i was kakin mi sen

  • That was quite a significant amount of snow which fell.

  • shit

  • @gerbilater read up on the swine flu after WW1 which is what i was talking about you pathetic little cretin

  • @IAmKingBonzo You clearly have a lack of knowledge on all things. Your abusive answers only highlight the fact you arent capable of having an intillectual debate.

  • @BritishScottish what I actually asked is for a few examples of individuals who have profited from promoting man made global warming, not who developed tamiflu or whether or not applying capitalism to the pharmaceutical industry is a good idea.Having said that I'd be interested to see some evidence that the UN profited from swine flu so if you'd like to give a link to a reliable source for that too that would be great.

    Of course you can just continue to skirt around the issue until I get bored.

  • @IAmKingBonzo Whats I actually want is for you to take a run and jump. If you think im continuing this ludicrous conversation any longer than you are up a gum tree. You have taken nothing Ive said in and your ignorance is visible for all to see. Ive given specific examples and answered your questions and you completely overlook them. Getting Swine Flu and Spanish Flu mixed up is to be frank, such a school boy howler and yet you have the gall to question the legitimacy of my statements? Good day!

  • @BritishScottish I didn't get them mixed up though did I? I gave spanish flu as an example of why governments take preventative measures when possible outbreaks occur and that they have similarities, can you read?

    I've taken in that you're an fool with no evidence to back up your accusations and that when I ask for some you change the subject you gimp. The topic was global warming remember you half brained ape?

    Once again, a link? Something concrete? Nah you don't have shit.

  • @IAmKingBonzo A direct quote from you with emphasis on SWINE flu... "the swine flu which swept through europe after WW1 killed at least 50 million people which is why governments took preventative measures against a possible threat." ....Fin

  • @BritishScottish The H1N1 form of swine flu is one of the descendants of the strain that caused the 1918 flu pandemic you absolute pillock, I didn't say they were exactly the same virus the point was that past experiences with pandemic viruses lead governments to offer vaccinations. Are you incapable of doing the most basic research before spouting your nonsense? Now forget about this side note, look at the video if you need a clue, I want you to justify your statements on global warming.

  • @IAmKingBonzo A video about a mini avalanche and you two have somehow been able to turn that into a political debate or whatever .WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!??

  • @BritishScottish A video about a mini avalanche and you two have somehow been able to turn that into a political debate or whatever .WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!??

  • @muddytounge yeah it's just soooo obvious I don't have to provide any evidence whatsoever to counteract the tens of thousands of scientific papers which are published which prove global warming is occuring because i'm a brain dead daily mail reading twat with no brain.

  • @BritishScottish if you're capable of reading my comment correctly - the swine flu which swept through europe after WW1 killed at least 50 million people which is why governments took preventative measures against a possible threat.

    Watched your pointless video - i've heard it all before thanks what I'd really like is some real evidence that the increase in global temperature (which is a fact by the way) is not man made and who exactly is making money, not some polemic from an old Tory

  • @IAmKingBonzo Im not sure when swine flu killed 50 million peole during WW1. Unless you are mistaking it with Spanish Flu which did sweep across Europe during WW1 and played a large part in the signing of defeat for Germany. There seems to be no clear decisive evidence that suggests a correlation between climate change and Co2 emissions. Climate researchers and polliticians have made billions from it. Theres no big secret its justified due to the impending "doom" we are supposed to be facing.

  • @BritishScottish correct and the spanish flu was very similar to swine flu being of the H1N1 subtype and originating in pigs - that's why governments try to take action when these things arise, is that getting through yet?

    Thanks for repeating ad nauseum that these scary faceless 'researchers' and 'politicians' are making billions but why do refuse to substantiate your claims? Just a couple of names would be good.

  • @IAmKingBonzo Pharmaceutical companies Baxter and Novartis as well as the WHO and United Nations made billions between them for a pandemic that turned out killed far less people than the ordinary flu. Baxter actually patented the H1N1 vaccine well before the swine flu scare and it is actually undergoing legal action as we speak on claims they "hyped" up the threat for their own profits.

  • @Ail3a I have indeed been hit in the head with a snowball. It can hurt! But they are packed tight so they're hard. This was just loose powder so it would have packed an **immensely** smaller punch.

    I've had that much snow fall on me before and it's annoying. You get snow in your coat collar & that's quite unpleasant, but not life- or health-threatening.

    It's just that Britons are unused to snow - so it's unsurprising they would tend to overreact to it. :)

  • @Ail3a I have indeed been hit in the head with a snowball.  And it can hurt a lot. But they are typically packed tight so they're hard. This was just loose powder, and therefore would have packed an **immensely** lesser punch.

    I've had that much snow fall on me before while walking under a building. It's annoying -- you get snow in your collar, which is really unpleasant but neither life- nor health-threatening :)

    It's just that Britons are unused to snow - hence the overreaction :)

  • @JJMG2k No, it'd fucking hurt. Yeah it;s only powder, but there must be half a ton of it there, at least. Things are heavier than they look, dontcha know.

    It's like a wave in the sea, it's just water (like rain) but rain can't hurt you

  • Abadah

  • Why is this happening to every house in scotland?

  • @specialfx34 LOL

  • Comment removed

  • @JCTool01

    Sorry.

    "Your spelling mistakes belay*...and rudimentary* insults...you misspelled* FAECES...funny. Jammin'/Jamming* out abuse...of a so-called* lesser human (a bit harsh?)...".

    FTFY.

    [/spelling Nazi].

  • LOL. My house had a snow avalanche in the morning and it broke the most of the pipes, looool.

  • to everybody talking about global warming, i think we should back track to the real root of the problem. I dont think trying to reduce our energy consumption is really going to make that much of a difference, especially when the worlds population is growing at an unmanageable rate. I know its a touchy subject since it threatens peoples basic rights to have children but i think people should feel atleast obligated to only have 1 child to reduce the chances of future world wars. anyone feel same?

  • @0806322f no. 

  • Snowjob

  • Comment removed

  • @jaydoyle100 yeah that's right, because Americans are bias against Scottish people... that makes sense.

  • @WhiskeyLighter Ah didnt say they were yah tit but ahm scottish and ah fuckin hate americans!!!

  • @jaydoyle100 love your genralising!

  • Wow good job it was only powder & not ice.

  • ok so what I'm getting from all these comments is ... unless its rape or murder its not news

  • Al Gore did it

    ö

  • @KimmoKuopio Al Gore did it? How old are you? 11? @Jascender Thanks for uploading.

  • @Tinymclean ..???... Seriously folks...why do the Scot build mediterranian roofs ?

  • Im really taken back by some of the comments on here. more to the point the mindless finger pointing and name calling that gets us where? I feel so sad that very few of you actually show any respect towards each other, in having an adult debate. Its like being in the playground all over again. Everybody has a right to be heard without being shouted down because someone elses ego is so huge they cant stand being heard or being wrong. god help us if this is a reflection of humanity as a whole!

  • Pity that they've forgotten what 'Much ado about nothing' actually means.

  • @jaydoyle100 lol

  • @wishidthoughtofthat oh shit... xD lmao (:

  • @pinkygod It's winter you SCARSTARD. Jus made that up now for jokes.

  • @titsubo You kiss your mother with that mouth?

  • well thats one way to have your roof free of snow

  • @pinkygod

    that's probably the best summer here

  • 15 people died.

  • there all in the pub the jocks having a snowball drink ...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

  • @geoffdoor What the fuck's a "jock"?

  • LMAO

  • @specialfx34 The only other way you could be badly hurt is if the large amount of heavy snow falls on top of you, maybe? It may be all light and fluffy when it falls out the sky, but if you have a huge mass of it falling at that speed, it's very, very heavy and can cause serious problems.

  • @specialfx34 you'd actually be surprised at the weight of snow, it being semi frozen compacted water after all.

  • Really must have been a quiet day for the news. Bet they have these sort of events going on all the time in Russia and Canada..

  • hahahaha! glasgow # 1

  • @DaveyPx to right

  • @DaveyPx hahahaha! edinburgh # -1. How do you sort yourself out with the rest of Britain when you're having wars with your own cities.

  • @DaveyPx you know Glasgow's the biggest because it's 95% shitehole, #1 for junkies, stabbings, muggings, rapes, shellsuits, and most methadone doses handed out in one hour

  • @junkydrummer that may be true but edinburgh is a shitehole to

  • hahahaha!

  • @DaveyPx haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aa!

  • @PeterR132 lmfao

  • Yes, I fully understand that this is a very serious incident that could have caused serious injury or even death; it is not what you call a proper avalanch.

    Still worth putting on though of cause, and it shows people about snow dangers.

  • lol wish my driveway cleared that fast

  • @AdzeHD Pay Me I'll do it.

  • anyone seen the guy on top off the roof wiht brush?

    the video was for "You've Been Framed"

  • @jnuness I think you're chatting Ghabej.

  • Comment removed

  • "Quite alot of Snowf sliding off the roof there"

  • @Hoops355 LOL.

  • Comment removed

  • 'Scottish Widows' building avalanche?!? It could have fucking made a couple of Scottish Widows.

  • That guy must of been stood there waiting for that snow to fall for the entire day

  • it didn't hurt anyone because all the scottish people were in the pub - getting drunk cause they ve got fuck all to live for

  • @geoffdoor

    Oh yeah, tell me about it.

    Content with the discovery of penicillin and the invention of the television and telephone, undoubtedly the big three to which we owe our modern existence, I reckon we deserve a good dram or two down the pub.

  • Lovely to see what the BBC considers newsworthy when it comes to deciding what to air with our TV license money.

  • @rgiwillia Considering at least one person has been seriously injured by snow sliding off roofs in Scotland, it makes sense to make people aware of the risks, doesn't it? Better this than some X-Factor crap, or 'celebrities try to make cup of tea in humorous context', surely.

  • @Misterb0z Should the PM hold a press conference and urgently warn members of the public not to go near roofs until the snow has cleared? How exactly does wasting time showing a video of some snow coming off of a roof in any way benefit the public? How does knowing that someone has been injured by falling snow in any way prepare others and arm them against the "danger"?

    At least you can switch over when the X-Factor comes on. Leave the news for actual news.

  • @rgiwillia If people are unaware of the dangers of falling roof snow, then no, it's clearly not a waste of time. And what is 'actual news'? Who decides? Is sport 'news'? Just because I'm not in the least interested in football, doesn't mean it's not legitimate news.

  • never eat yellow snow

  • @daverobb90 Cunt

  • I live in Edinburgh that snow its up to my knees

  • @MrDaaaazzz I live in Yorkshire and it was that bad here last week!

  • @leeboi222 Same in the North East!

  • @rab401 and joelfletch

    argueing over youtube is the lowest form of communication

    STFU.

  • @bilalha123

    not arguing sharing points of view there is difference if i was arguing i would have said he was wrong but i didn't i just said what i thought

  • lol I live across from Scottish Widows and it doesn't look like that, are there two in Edinburgh or is the description wrong?

  • wow

  • Aw man, that would've been so much fun lol

  • minus 12 at my house right now wish it would stop but the weather man promises 1 degrees on saturdays so happy days

  • Omg, I would have love to have been in that building when that was happening. Just lol at all the people getting avalanched :)

  • wow

  • looooool that was fukin jokes

  • wat a snow ball

  • @jaguarclaw Thats better!

  • lucky i live in Glasgow lol

  • @fenfen99 and not humans fault

  • @jaguarclaw Theres not even 13 people in the video, and it seems like a minor inconvenience at best, why would they then search for a video just to dislike it?

  • @letthegalaxyburn YOU SIR, are no fun.

  • @adas1023 Avalanches killed my father, then raped my mother, so im sorry that i dont find it funny...

  • pmfsl wheres the fukkin Avalanche and the lucky escape??? idiots lol

  • Fuck sake anything makes news in Scotland

  • You'll know snow when you live in the Scottish Highlands!

  • Not much of an Avalanche just snow falling off a building

  • tbh i think the media shud get over it, they make it sound like 9/11

  • @shmoke123 but 9/11 sucks

  • Snow in November and December this far south in Scotland is very unusual, as are the temperatures. The weather in the UK is so unpredictable, this is why Brits always talk about it.

  • "Snow falls of roof, nobody hurt"

  • OMG. I walked along there Friday!!!! Crazy!!

  • otherwise known as 'slow news week'...

  • Wow what is that weird stuff falling from the roof? Oh wait it's snow it's been around since the Earth appeared so why the hell are there so many goddamn news reports on it? I'd rather watch a news report on someone doing 10 cartwheels in a row then stumbling around a bit because they're so dizzy or somethings, it's more interesting than snow

  • Thats my dad in this video. You can hear his voice.

  • OMFG! A Lets play of pokemon...cool

  • they needed more widdows

  • IS THAT IT !!!

  • rofl, one of my related videos on the right was about pokemon

  • no wonder theres so many scottish widows...............

  • @tixxstixx there aren't any widows, just a hell of a lot of single mothers who are prostitutes

  • Faraboots in Edinburgh was this?

  • Brollies required for that one lol.

  • Hardly an avalance for fucks sake. How about report some real news for a change.

  • "Avalanche"!? Ive shit more than that.

  • "nobody appears to have been badly hurt" Uh? Find some proper fucking news!

  • Fuck being stood there, FUCKING SNOW FALLS ON YOU!

  • d'ya know what? its only in Britain that something like this would make the news. The only reason we freak out so much in snowy weather is because fuck else happens in the UK.

  • why are people arguing over grammar on a video of an avalanche hahaha get a life all of you

  • I would of been on top of the building with a surf board

  • i would've pooped myself

  • :)

  • EARTHQUAKE

  • Our architecture in scotland just doenst accomodate for this type of weather. The people here are very lucky, someone near the borders was hit by something similar and experienced major spinal injuries so it is very serious. As the snow has melted and refrozen as solid ice! Also icicles are now causing major danger. So take care everyone, you now also have to look up when crossing the road!

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!­

  • @BiiBLiiCaL wow knee deep we dont get that here in NY

  • So after watching a Mini Avalanche on Youtube I scroll down to find people arguing about International Politics. Christ.

  • LOL!!!!!!!

  • so UK getting heavy snow ?

  • Interesting video, shame about all the stupid comments.

  • "Hmm.. ill just get the snow out of my window with the wipers *whoosh* WTF THESE ARE WORTHLESS! IF ANYTHING I GOT MORE SNOW ON MY WINDOW!"
