The Accident and Emergency Department of Bonnyholly Hospital waited with bated breath. Dealing with traumatic situations was routine and yet no one had ever experienced, or anticipated, what was about to unfold. In the distance, wailing sirens were initially barely audible. As they drew nearer, the sound grew in intensity and the atmosphere of the hospital became electric.

Like foghorns, the clamour made some think of the Sirens of Greek mythology which drew the sailors onto the rocks; sirens of destruction. A few of the gathered staff sniffled uncomfortably, and noiseless tears, faintly coloured by mascara, trickled down their cheeks; others remained silent. Most could not contain their emotions and appeared visibly shaken, their chests heaving as they tried to control themselves. Then there were those who stood twirling their thumbs nervously in a circular motion. The rest, with downcast eyes, gazed thoughtfully at the ground, perhaps expecting the floor to offer some words of wisdom, condolence or encouragement. Gulps of air as loud as thunder could be heard in the silent atmosphere, and occasionally the phlegmatic staccato of the clearing of throats, feet shuffled about nervously, like footballers waiting for the referee to blow his whistle for the final of the local derby. All eyes had that glazed concentrated stare. The adrenalin in the air was reminiscent of two pugilists facing each other with high octave energy and bare fists ready to pounce on their opponent and beat them to a pulp.

Even jovial Mark Walker, the radiographer, known for cheering patients with his wit and banter, knew this was not an appropriate time for any banality. Everyone had a premonition this would be a day to remember. A day that would be indelibly printed, indeed etched on their minds forever. It was a day when they were all going to experience the truthfulness of Robert Burns’ words ‘Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands moan’. Some would recover; some wouldn’t; sadly one would end up the same way as the victims they were about to treat – dead, because of the sheer stress of being a witness to unimaginable horror. Hands that habitually delivered care and comfort to the injured and dying would deal their possessor a cruel blow. Some would not be able to return to work. A few would become physiological wrecks as they turned to drinking to ease their tortured guilt-ridden minds.
The victims’ families would blame the police for their supposed incompetence and cover-up. Questions would be raised in the media by the public and in Parliament, triggering a full-scale public enquiry. The despicable act would leave no one unscathed as it spread its tentacles far and wide. The news of the outrage would reach around the world. It might be said the victims would be the lucky ones; the survivors ironically, and tragically, becoming the victims. How cruel events can turn a day of joy into one of such sorrow.
