I was following this 'live', so to speak as Mr WB's flight back from the UK was delayed by three hours.
It was a long evening....
The daughter of one friend is among the injured in hospital - she is 13 years old. Luckily they expect her to recover fully.
The twin girls of another friend were luckily unharmed apart from some minor cuts and bruises from the aftermath.
Of course, while they may heal quite rapidly from the physical wounds, psychologically it's another matter.
A bunch of my daughter's sixth form friends were hoping to attend and it's only because they had exams yesterday and today that they weren't there. I would never want my kids to stop living 'just in case' something happens, but this one does feel rather too close for comfort.
