Post by: Highlander on March 22, 2017, 19:52:26 PM: c1 - I personally wouldn't rush to criticism of the ambulance service till we have more detailed reports.

As far as I can see they did not hesitate in going into what was obviously a very dangerous area.

Most likely dealing with the numerous other casualties who had a better chance, or maybe lesser chance, of survival.

Please feel free to tell us how you would have handled the situation.
