Many thanks to all of you for your updates and posts. It just leaves you shaken and in a state of disbelief. If it's a suicide bomber how do we prevent it?

I don't know, Greg. Terrorists don't even need bombs these days, any vehicle will do...

As the mum of two young kids. I feel very strongly that the school curriculum should include emergency survival for situations like this, what to do in a terrorist attack, including first aid skills and evacuation procedures.

FFS. I am so angry.

Definitely, I totally agree if people knew what to do it could possibly save lives.
