The chairman of a damning report into failings around the Manchester Arena atrocity has praised the heroism of members of the public and individual officers but he insisted: “Many things did go badly wrong.”
As he published a highly critical report which detailed the failings of the emergency services, Sir John Saunders conducted a minute of silence to remember the 22. He said: “We have started with a minute’s silence to remind ourselves, if we needed reminding, that 22 special and much-loved individuals died as a result of the murderous attack by Salman Abedi on 22 nd May 2017.”
His ‘Volume 2’ report blasted a series of failings by the emergency services, concluding one of the 22 who died could have survived with better, more prompt treatment.
