The Times? The stable mate to the Sunday Times? From where l reported the latest facts and eye witness accounts as presently known.

[Tealeaf]

Yes...and if I recall rightly, not one of the accounts of those eye witnesses agreed with the accounts of the others.Some said he tripped into the train entrance, others that he was brought down, some that he grabbed a guy before being grabbed himself....all agreed, however, that 5 shots were fired (there were in fact,8 shots)

So the Sunday Times merely indicted the inconsistencies between these accounts.Excellent. What the paper failed to deliver,however was an eyewitness account of what happened in the entrance to the station and then in the tunnel down to the platform, unlike the Guardian & the BBC which simply indulged in an orgy of speculation.

Eight shots?

You were there, or did you perhaps read it?

[WillowTheWhisp]

Eyewitness accounts are notoriously inaccurate. Have you ever had a discussion with someone about something you both witnessed and found that you "saw" things entirely diffrently? The mind plays tricks. A bit like the old song "I remember it well"

But back to the plot. £11,000 is an insult.

[Tealeaf]

8 shots is what the Met stated and that figure agrees with the gun shot wounds disclosed in the Post-mortem report. Good shooting, then...no misses and no innocent onlookers harmed.

[cashman]

thought the thread was about the derisory amount of compensation?

[grego]

I too think £11,000 is an insult, though no amount really compensates for loss of life, that amount isn't enough to take away finacial worries, bills still need to be paid.

Enquiry over. Tealeaf already knows the facts, he posted them here. There were eight shots fired, but no mention of three misssed shots, so they must be wrong.

Ooops ..my mistake. I should have said 8 shots on target!

[Ber999T]

Think that you'll find that the £11,000 is all the insuance companys will pay out. As to personal insurance they might not even have to pay because of a get-out clause where by if a person is killed in War or Civl Unrest, by act of Terreriosum (I know spelling bad) then they dont have to pay out.

Having said that do you know that people in the Emergency Services cannot be covered for such events and that if I had been there and injuried as a result of working I would not get anything at all from insurance because of the clause, glad they hadn't planted other bombs to go off when rescue workers dealing with the scene like what happened in Spain!!!!!
