  • The Clarkston explosion was a disaster that occurred on 21 October 1971 in a row of shops on the main street of Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, Scotland. The death toll has been stated as 21 or 22. The explosion followed a build-up of gas in an underground space beneath the Clarkston Toll shops, caused by a gas main leak later ruled to have been accidental. Customers and shop staff had on 20 October complained of a strong smell of gas in the centre and Scottish Gas Board engineers had attended to investigate, but had identified no source for the smell. The engineers were still in attendance at around 2:50pm on the following day when the gas ignited and exploded, killing 22 people and injuring around 100. The victims included many shop staff and people on shopping trips, and the passengers of a bus that had been passing the scene. The explosion destroyed ten shops and a car park above them. An inquiry was held, and a jury on 11 February 1972 returned a verdict that no fault for the explosion lay with any organisation or individual. No cause was identified for the ignition of the leaked gas, and the leak itself was deemed the result of an accidental gas main fracture caused by "stress and corrosion". The main had been insufficiently supported to withstand vibrations from traffic, and a large crack was found in it during the investigation. The victims of the disaster are commemorated in a plaque erected in 2001/2 near the site of the explosion. There is a further tribute to those who lost their lives situated in the entranceway to the Clarkston Halls. Scottish Television produced a programme on the Clarkston disaster which aired on 20 November 2017. (en)
  • クラークストン爆発(クラークストンばくはつ、英語: Clarkston explosion)は、1971年10月21日にスコットランドのグラスゴー付近にあるイースト・レンフルーシャーのショッピングセンターで発生した事故である。死者数は21人や22人と様々である。 爆発はガス本管からのガス漏れ(後に偶発的であったと決定された)が原因でクラークストン・トール・ショッピングセンター (Clarkston Toll shopping centre) の真下の地下空間にガスが蓄積したために発生した。10月20日に買い物客や店員が店内でガスの強い臭いを訴えたためスコティッシュ・ガスのエンジニアが調査したが、臭いの発生源を特定できなかった。エンジニアは21日の午後2時50分ごろにも来ていたが、その時ガスが引火・爆発し、最低でも21人が死亡し約100人が負傷した。犠牲者には多くの女性店員や買い物に来ていた主婦、現場を通過中だったバスの乗客が含まれていた。爆発により何軒かの店や階段状の駐車場が破壊された。 漏れたガスが引火した原因は特定されず、ガス漏れ自体は「ストレスや腐食」に起因する偶発的なガス本管の破損の結果とみなされた。 犠牲者は2001年2月に事故現場付近に建立された銘板で記念されている。 (ja)
