DUBLIN BUS TRAGEDY: THE INVESTIGATION: LOVE YOU.. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.Byline: PAT FLANAGAN John Patrick "Pat" Flanagan (born 1891 in Preston, Lancashire) was an English footballer. An inside forward, Flanagan played youth football for Stourbridge before joining Norwich City in 1908, before moving to Fulham in 1909.

Tragic Vasyl Tyminskay, 33, had just told 11-year-old Khrystyna that he loved her and that he was on his way home when he was killed. Distraught Khrystyna heard the crash and then had to listen to the screams of the dying and injured. For more than a minute the young girl had to endure the pitiful pit·i·ful adj. 1.

Archaic Filled with pity or compassion. cries of victims in the worst bus accident ever in the Republic. The child screamed for her father until a man picked up the phone and told her of the terrible accident. Khrystyna said: "Dad said he was heading home and that he loved me and would see me later. "Then I heard a noise and there was silence. Then I could hear screams and cries. I kept saying, 'What's wrong dad, what's wrong'. He didn't answer me. "Someone lifted the phone and said there had been an accident and that people were injured." Ukrainian Vasyl and four others died when the out-of-service double decker went out of control and mounted the pavement at Wellington Quay on Saturday afternoon. Last night, grieving Khrystyna and her mother Svitlana pleaded for help in getting Vasyl's body to Ukraine. The Eastern Orthodox religion demands the body is taken to a relative's home before burial. Khrystyna added: "Please help us get my daddy home. We have to bring him to his parent's home and he must be buried in three days' time. We still can't believe all this. We were so happy here and this has turned into a nightmare. "My parents were to celebrate their 12th anniversary and now dad is dead. When we went to the hospital we only knew he was injured. "But then a nurse came to me and told me he was dead. I had to tell my mother because she did not fully understand what she said." Heartbroken Svitlana told how she still can't believe her husband is dead. She said: "It is hard to believe he is gone. We have to get him home now." Members of the Dublin's Ukrainian community are also rallying round to help the family. Local people in the quiet suburb of Kew Park in Lucan, Co Dublin, were last night comforting Svitlana and Khrystyna who moved there three years ago. Next door neighbour Ciaran Delmar said: "They are lovely people and do not deserve this. Vasyl was such a hard worker and did all the hours he could. He was a plasterer with a construction company. "Vasyl said he wanted to buy his dream home in Ukraine and it was going to cost him around EUR EUR In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Euro.

"He had his flight booked for March to go home and oversee the start of work on the house. Now all their dreams have been shattered." The family were last night hoping Vasyl's body would be released after a post mortem [Latin, After death.] Pertaining to matters occurring after death.
