I remember this very bleak morning only too well. I could never understand how the news was leaked so quickly (paragraph 31 in the BOI report) to the UK TV stations and why they chose to report it there and then, knowing the frightening shock it would be to so many families. It disturbed me almost as much as the incident, if only for the worry it would have caused so many people.
I know we need the press, but sometimes I think of them in the same way that we need worms in the dungheap.
Anyway, RIP.
