‘Emotional’ viewers have been "sick to their stomachs" while watching the devastating Manchester Arena bombing documentary.
The two-part ITV programme, titled Worlds Collide: The Manchester Bombing, focused on the tragic events of the 22 May 2017, as survivors and grieving relatives prepare to mark the five-year anniversary of the incident.
Terrorist Salman Abedi killed 22 people and injured hundreds when he detonated a bomb located in his backpack, as concertgoers - who had just been watching pop star Ariana Grande - began leaving the arena.
Viewers have been left traumatised by the events unfolding in the documentary, and took to social media to share their sadness, and fury, over the horrifying incident.
“Still to this day can’t believe we had to even witness the Manchester bombing,” one tweeted.
“Makes me feel sick watching this docuseries on ITV,” another wrote.
“Can’t watch it makes me feel physically sick what that evil b**tard did #manchesterbombing,” one commented.
A survivor of the arena bombing also shared he thoughts on the documentary, writing: “ Just watching the worlds collide about the Manchester bombing breaks my heart I'm so grateful me and my daughter got out alive. Not everyone was lucky.”
“Impossible to comprehend the mindless killing & injury to so many innocent people & the impact on their loved ones & friends,” another added.
One viewer tweeted: “Watching #itv the programme about Manchester bombing it's heartbreaking. I know people who were killed there & others who survived. I've been at the arena after & it was surreal.”
Among those tragically killed in the terrifying blast were Martyn Hett, 29, Nell Jones, 14, Liam Curry, 19, and Saffie Rose Roussos, who was the youngest victim of the terror attack, as she was just aged eight.
The terrorist was killed in the blast as he detonated explosives from his rucksack, but his brother Hashem was found guilty of 22 counts of murder in August 2020, and sentenced to life in prison.
