I watched Secretary of State making his Statement on BBC Parliament and all I could feel was anger and dismay at what was said. Having followed this thread and read the very many, knowledgeable inputs, I for one, find it hard to understand why Browne's words that it was "an accident" were not followed by "waiting to happen". Whether or not the families and friends of the fallen find comfort in the Statement, I know not. If it had been my son, I would be extremely disappointed at today's announcement.
My deepest sympathies to all the relatives, friends and colleagues of our lost comrades.
