EastEnders fans hail tonight’s ending as one of the best ever as shock twist reveals Whitney may be the first victim of Albert Square bus crash
Viewers flocked to social media as the tragic consequences of the accident are finally revealed
EASTENDERS fans were left in tears tonight as the tragic consequences of the Albert Square bus crash were finally revealed.
Many hailed the episode's ending as one of the best ever as a shock twist revealed Whitney could be the first character to die.
Tonight's instalment of the show finally updated viewers on the bloody aftermath of yesterday's horrific bus crash.
The driver suffered a heart attack behind the wheel and the vehicle swerved into the busy market place, mowing down characters including Martin Fowler.
He was found trapped under the bus, and many fans were convinced he was a goner.
But fire crews managed to drag him from the wreckage, but then came a nasty moment for Danny Dyer's character Mick Carter.
The pub landlord heard his daughter-in-law Whitney's ringtone and the camera panned to her phone lying under the bus.
Viewers took to Twitter to brand the shock ending one of the best ever as they were left in tears.
One soap fan declared: "That has to go down as one of the best duff duffs ever #eastenders."
Another added: "What a brilliant episode! The ending was brill! Can't stop crying 😭😭 #eastenders."
Many were in floods of tears as the victim under the bus was revealed.
Last night's episode sparked outrage among some viewers, who claimed the image of a large vehicle ploughing into a crowd was eerily similar to real life terror attacks on crowded markets in Europe.
Viewers flocked to Twitter to point out the footage seemed to mirror atrocities which have taken place in Berlin and Nice.
Twelve died in the German city when a truck was driven into a busy Christmas market, and 86 were killed in Nice when a heavy vehicle ploughed into a crowd of revellers during the Bastille Day celebrations.
