READERS have sent their good wishes to the mountain rescue team volunteer who fell 150m on a call-out at the weekend. The member of the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team suffered significant injuries during the incident in the early hours of Saturday morning. The team had been called out to an individual with chest pains, who was camping on Red Screes, above the Kirkstone Pass. A statement Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association said: Whilst the team were making their way to the casualty, an experienced team member fell roughly 150m down steep ground, sustaining significant injuries. The team member was airlifted to hospital by the HM Coastguard Helicopter and remains in a serious condition.
Victims of the Manchester Arena bombing were denied vital assistance as they lay dying and injured in the foyer, a public inquiry into the terror attack was told.
Fire crews with specialist equipment and training were not mobilised to enter the City Room foyer where Salman Abedi detonated an explosive killing 22 people in May 2017, and the first fire engine did not arrive until more than two hours later.
Police declared a marauding terrorist firearms attack some 16 minutes after the blast but did not inform the fire and ambulance services.
It was said only one paramedic entered the scene in the first 40 minutes after the explosion.
