One of our own being directly affected, I thought this deserved a thread of its own.


Quoted from AnthonyCawood
... re Manchester, my 17yr old son was actually at the concert, close to the blast but he and his friend got out safely, I'd taken them over and had waited for them so at least I could get them home safely. We're really shocked by it all, you don't expect those sort of things to impact you directly... scariest night of my life


Anthony, I'm so sorry to hear your son and his friend were directly involved and so happy and relieved to hear they're both safe. Traumatic and scary to say the least. I imagine kids directly involved in this will suffer long lasting scars and while I assume I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, and kids are pretty resilient, PTSD is a very real possibility.

Brits are a tough lot, defiance not fear, in the face of this. Soldiers on the streets already making their presence felt.

We in Oz are feeling it on behalf of the Mother Country and we stand firm alongside you. Truly awful.
All the best mate.

My condolences to all the parents and partners go without saying, but I especially hope Anthony finds his loved ones and that they are safe and without harm.

The followers call it Islam.

ISLAM is not a race it is a religion, so let's stop with the rascist crap before it even begins.  I hate all religions, but this one, ISLAM, needs to be either seriously modified so it fits within our society ( don't care what they do in the middle east) or just outright BANNED.

I'm sorry to hear that, Anthony. Too bad people got slaughtered and some of us are scared to get out of beds now that all these things keep happening in the world.

Scoob, we call it terrorism. The followers talk crap because the followers of bombing are terrorists.

I'm not religious either by the way.

Thanks all

My son attended with a friend, they were seated very close to the exit where the bomb detonated but were still actually inside the arena when they heard it go off and they were able to get to a different exit and get out.

So they were physically unharmed, and as I'd driven them to the concert and stayed in Manchester to get them afterwards we were able to get home fairly easily.

We didn't really know what was going on until we got home, it wasn't clear if it was an accident, a shooting, a bomb etc, so the real extent of how lucky he'd been wasn't obvious to start with,

As details came out our shock deepened, and my gratitude to whoever was watching over him increased.

Struggling to process a lot of it at the moment, and I suspect he'll be effected by this for a long time to come.

However, people are coming together and being strong, Manchester and nationwide. He's got a good support mechanism and his school have been great too.

Scoob - I hear you, but it's not Islam, it's a minute number of misguided/mentally unstable individuals who are hiding behind a warped and evil misunderstanding of their faith.

Unfortunately, religions have a long track record of being used for evil purposes and persecution, but the vast majority of people in any religion, Islam, Catholicism etc are normal people who's faith doesn't hurt others, and in fact often it is used to help others.

I'm an atheist, so I have no love of any particular religion but I think we should be careful to categorise or blame everyone... we've seen that sort of attitude and persecution historically and it leaves a stain on humanity.

I hope you never experience anything like this again in your life, Anthony. Glad the boys came out unscratched.

Take care.
