What we're dealing with is a pathological commitment to forgiveness, understanding, scapegoating on behalf of our enemies, etc. She says she blames the higher ups lol like its ok to blame them and not the bomber.

@@epicwinguyz the majority of suicide bombers in extremist terrorist groups only have two options, they either get executed for cowardice or they follow out one of these attacks in the name of their religion, when you join one of these terrorist groups you are manipulated into thinking that anyone in the west of the world is a threat to you and your country and that if someone over there pays taxes and votes they are no longer a civilian not to be killed, they are a threat to you and your people, the bomber most likely had no other choice and the mother sees that, a lot of these people in terrorist groups often didn’t have any other choice
i really hope he’s doing okay. that poor man couldn’t have done anything better but carries so much of the burden. he deserves a long, peaceful, and happy life.
Agreed…PTSD is awful, and worse that he feels guilty for what he couldn’t do anything about. I’ve been there and to this day almost 20+ years later I don’t let anybody tell me that I should be “over it”. I use it in my work with kids and with my family.
We need More people like HIM on this planet.. we can't afford to lose him. We can't at all! Please do if you see this Usman! We *LOVE* you and we *LOVE YOU* here on earth with *US* 🤗❤️ *hugs*
Oh man Usman you've done everything you could that night. You have a true kind soul. I'm very sorry you feel this way there is so much you can give this world you are definitely a blessing❤️
If he left the woman he was attending.. she probably would of died. He couldn't save them all. And I'm 1000% sure the woman he helped saved was so grateful of his quick work/thinking too! I'm sure the little girl was never going to survive one way or another. It's unfortunate.
He’s a good Muslim man. I hope he can move forward and feel proud of his actions in the future. Most people would run for their lives. They have every right to do so. But he went above and beyond. I’m glad that interviewed him. Good combated evil when it comes to him.
My wife was a nurse at Manchester children’s hospital during this. It was shocking and the worst day of her life. I remember driving her to work so she could get some sleep in the car journey as she had just finished a 12 hour shift and decided to go back in to work. I then decided to stay there and pass out water etc. and saw many people coming to help. True show of Manchester spirit!
@@zoemunsell7602 As I interpreted, he got quite drunk before the concert and so when his mum was told that he died in a split second, even before his brain under the influence of alcohol could sense any pain, she was glad to know that her son didn't suffer. He probably died without knowing what happened right next to him.
@@ooogabooogaa ??? The comment above you says he died and didn’t sense any pain from it, but your comment right after says he got drunk and went somewhere else from the concert.. what
I feel so bad for Usman. He really thinks that it's his fault that that poor girl died. It's not. I really hope he got the help he needed. He looks seriously traumatised.
I think its time to acknowledge that Islam is a fundamental threat to Human civilization and we need to isolate the Middle East from the rest of the world so they blow themselves up and not us. horrible violent religion.
@@covfefe1787 Only someone that knows NOTHING of Islam would say this bullshit. Islam is literally built on the foundation of peace and love. RELIGIOUS RACIALISM, is the real problem and it isn’t isolated to Islam. In truth, this should be the case for ALL RELIGION, if you feel that way. All of the world’s greatest wars, including the world wars are linked directly to religion and various forms or radicalism. The majority of which are credited to the CHRISTIAN RELIGION, just FYI. ;) Hell even the Salem witch trials in which numerous innocent women were brutally murdered, was a result of Christianity.
@@katmills3978 please tell me why all designated terrorist organizations are all connected to Islamic fundamentalism. Do Christians blow themselves up for Jesus Christ in Muslim countries? The Salem which trials aren’t tied to region but pagan pagan practices of witchcraft. The Protestant puritans which don’t exist anymore used to it to enforce Protestantism through legal oppression. That’s not terrorism because that’s done by third parties used to install fear in non believers or a outside group. The Salem which trials were done by Protestants against Protestants.
My next door neighbour and his step-daughter were both there and they sadly both died, it was really strange to think that not a week earlier I was chatting to him in a local subway. RIP to all of the victims who passed
you can really see how Usman was affected. Hes an absolute amazing human who ran towards damger not knowing if another bomb was going to go off and did what he could
it must be so hard for him to come to terms with that he did everything he could but that girl still didn’t make it. i can imagine being in his position and questioning whether i could’ve done something more. i hope he’s alright. :(
I hope Usman reads these comments one day and feels all the love and support he has. I hope he is getting help for his PTSD. I just want to give him a hug
@@patricktate4782 are you ignorant enough to think that something like that can affect someone whether they’re dirt poor or a millionaire? Robin Williams, Anthony Bourdain…metal health doesn’t discriminate. I can’t believe I just had to explain that.
@@patricktate4782 those “millions” in the bank can’t take away her survivors guilt. it’s common sense to feel guilty since it was her concert. it’s very important to not invalidate others feelings and emotions.
@@patricktate4782 Wow you are stupid, so you think mental health just stops once it realizes you have money💀dumbest comment I have read today. Patrick, get some help
It’s sad enough when someone loses their life but when it’s children it hits hard. They could’ve been anything they wanted to be in life, sadly that was taken away from them. RIP to all the victims lost in this horrendous attack 🙏❤️
Usman, you are such a brave and kind soul. You ran into a terrifying situation and put other people first. Getting past that kind of trauma won’t be easy but there is help out there. As you can see just by the comments, there are so many people sending you love.
@Barry Davis wait no I thought you meant it was like, idk. God ignore me I sent that at like 2 in the morning. I don’t hate Islamic people god, my family’s from there.
@Barry Davis Its was a SUICIDE BOOMING. Any can get boomed, its doesn't matter if there supper hated or supper loved. It wasn't stage, have a heart pls and dont be ignorant.
This is brilliant journalism, sensitively approached and reported with respect. Well done Ladbible, well done. It is covers the tragic incident better than anything I have seen on the BBC, Channel 4 et al.
I really feel for Usman. It seems he carries a lot of this on his shoulders and I hope he knows he did an amazing and courageous job on that day. Everyone who survived this trauma is stronger than they know. Love to you all ❤️
Usman, your heart is so good and pure. Please do not leave this Earth, we desperately need people like you. The only thing can drive out hate, is love.
@David Rosenberg and the Catholic priests? And the white terrorist organisations? And the white grooming gangs? Sex trafficking gangs? I’ve been in a room with an ex-terrorist. And let me tell you, the things he’s done with this world, the attacks he’s stopped, because he was shown kindness and de-radicalised. Obviously I’m not advocating to hug the person who is about to murder you. My point was (that you have taken out of context), we need people like Usman, who has been deeply affected by an attack and has thoughts of suicide. It was a message of love to someone whom isn’t a terrorist and has been deeply affected by terrorism. You have taken my comment and seem to be under the impression that I am some fragile naive little girl, I am not.
Watching usman talk is devastating and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all of you, and I hope you are doing much better by now. I am so sorry you had to experience this. Truly so sorry. I am so glad those of you that survived did. My heart breaks for those that lost their lives. No one should ever have to experience this. This should not be a thing.😢🙁
Usman you have ptsd and survivors guilt. It is okay to feel the way you feel. Allow yourself to feel those emotions, just don’t ever let them control you. You deserve a long beautiful fulfilling life. Those that lost their lives would agree. Everyone that survived that attack deserves to be able to go on and be happy and fulfilled. you are a doll, I’m so sorry for your pain.
Martyn’s mother is astounding . She knows and recognises the true issue . I had the absolute honour of speaking to martyn several times on Facebook and he was a funny beautiful soul . Fly high all the 22 x you will never be forgotten love from Yorkshire x 🐝
A girl in my cheer team was at the arena that day, she is haunted everyday by the horrific attack. She wrote a newspaper article today talking about the attack. She is the most articulate and kind girl I will ever meet. Grace trippitt you inspire me everyday ❤️
@@cmcc3721 nobody's suggesting that the other people aren't also suffering or traumatised, but none of them discussed wanting to end their own lives because they couldn't do more to help people who were already dead. Hearing someone talk about themselves the way he did is really upsetting because he was a hero for the people he helped that night, surrounded by body parts and corpses, and all he can feel to do is blame himself for not being more brave when there's no way he could have possibly done more. The father who's now in a wheelchair is clearly also very traumatised from the way he very matter of factly says that his daughter was dying in front of him and he was powerless to help her, that so many others were already dead, so flat and emotionless. That's trauma too. Noting that one person is clearly haunted doesn't mean that nobody else is or can be. That would be absurd. Of course there's going to be others with lasting emotional damage from this terrible event, that shouldn't need to be said.
@@mydogeatspuke His emotional damage does not even register when compared to the parents in this clip that have lost children. You obviously don't have kids. Just rambling nonsense.
As a family member of a victim of 7/7 this video was so difficult to watch but it’s so important. I wasn’t there but I remember this day so clearly and my heart is still shattered for the family and friends who lost loved ones that night. The survivors who spoke in this video are absolutely incredible and my love goes out to them for what they saw that day.
I hate having anxiety but my anxiety panic attack that night saved my life and left early. I’m grateful I came away unscathed but feel guilty and so sad for those that didn’t make it
Well that was the hardest thing I've watched in a long while. My thoughts are with everyone that was cruely involved with that pointless attack on innocent people. The positivity from these people is awesome.
@@JoshNunnyt It's a Bot post. The person doesn't exist. Spammers etc study what videos are trending on the UA-cam algorithm and set a timed stream of coordinated posts from "shadow" accounts which a computer automatically sets up to look as real as possible inorder to bypass UA-cam's spam account safeguarding. When the video generates a certain amount of traffic and comments the Bots start posting comments re products and services which the Spammers hope genuine users will see and respond to. This particular video is littered with them, and given the subject matter it is particularly distasteful. Take care mate (from a human, not a Bot)
When he said he saw an arm and a leg and had to look at his limbs to make sure he still had them attached really made me scared even if I wasn't there I could feel the fear everyone at the concert had while listening to these point of views
Even after 4 years I still cry a little when I see videos about this disaster. Just the thought of all these young people that died, that had a future and dreams ahead of them, it just crushes me.
This is such an emotionally powerful video. Sending my thoughts and prayers to all of the victims, survivors, and anyone affected by this horrific tragedy on this four year anniversary.
When she describes how it's not the attacker to blame, it's the organization they belong to and how these kids are pretty much brainwashed into these ideologies sums it up for me! It's spot on and can be applied to most if not all extremist ideologies! Young minds are easily influenced!
I wasn't even there, nor have I ever been to Manchester, but this day, and the 22 people who died, are on my mind every single day. I am currently participating in sponsored walks for each person who died, to raise money for the charities set up in some of their names. Rest in peace, Manchester 22. I wish I could be there to pay my respects.
Usman you are such a beautiful man and please do not blame yourself for those deaths. You RAN towards the danger and you did everything you could to save those people. You are a hero and a brave brave soul. Please talk to someone about your PTSD! We all appreciate you and love you!
The fact Lucy has been back to see a concert let alone of the same artist and more than once; that’s strength!!👏🏼 Kudos to Amelia to standing by her and each other!
Figen OMG you are one of the country's heroes. My heart goes out to you and you are a true inspiration to everyone. We need more people like you. Usman you saved a girl's life on that day. You are a hero too. Never doubt yourself and keep your head up, you are destined for so much more than you think. Martin you are one of the strongest men I've ever heard of. Putting your daughter before yourself shows what an incredible man you are and to be climbing Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair proves it. Wishing all the best for you and Eve
Usman, you are a hero. You didn't run, you stayed and did everything possible, and gave what little comfort anyone could give, to show fearless love and compassion to those poor souls. Stay strong dude
I hope Usman has a good, loving support system around him. A great man who ran into the face of danger to save complete strangers. You are a hero, and I hope you have many bright days ahead.
This was my first ever concert, aged 17. Thank God I managed to get out safe. I remember how when the bomb went off, the parents were telling their kids it was nothing to worry about. I initially thought it was a balloon because giant pink balloons were released and after we heard the screams from the other side of the arena I thought it was a gun. Luckily my friend and I managed to get out quickly and safely. I remember the smell of fireworks and seeing a man look frozen whilst his head was bleeding thinking it was from falling from the stampede. I told my family to put on the news as they didn’t believe me when I got home and said an explosion happened. A few moment later they confirmed it was a terror attack 😣 it will haunt me forever but thank God everyday my friend and I was safe 🙏🏼 rip to the 22 who weren’t as lucky 🥺
The instinct to think that terrifying sounds couldnt possibly happen to you is a dangerous one. I remember watching video on here of that gunman who shot all those people from that casino in Las Vegas, and SO MANY people that heard gunfire, didnt really react, and ended up getting shot. While I understand panicking over every little sound is dangerous in itself, and the confusion of a situation like that is real, I think one positive thing that needs to come from events like these, as absurd as it sounds, is to have a plan whenever you go somewhere where theres a lot of people. Know your exits, and which direction they are in, and if you hear a boom, or anything that sounds like gunfire, get down and find cover. These things can happen to ANYONE. Thats the sad state that this world is in nowadays, and sadly, I think its only going to happen more frequently.
This chilled me for months after I thought of how easily it could have happened at any numerous shows I had attended in the past and felt danger could be anywhere
Man, you can tell how bad that effected Usman…my heart goes out to all the people :( I was actually planning on going to the concert, but decided to cancel last minute. I’ll forever be thankful.
Honestly the most powerful video I have ever watched on youtube, I remember this so well from the news but hearing the first hand accounts is something else. Fully sobbing listening to them. Good job, Ladbible.
this genuinely made me tear up i am sorry sorry and my hearts goes out to the families the survivors and the poor souls who lost their lives that night
With the rampant Islamophobia in our current culture, I think Usman's story here is so important- he's a Muslim himself expressing that he believes true Islamic values are to be helping people. And the mother is so right about blaming the organizations behind these attacks. I feel so much for all of these survivors, I used to go to lots of concerts and this kind of thing never crossed my mind back then. We need more direct, effective action against terrorism, and also for the people in power to work harder at mitigating the tensions that move people to become terrorists in the first place.
The fact that there is so much hatred and evil in the world is absolutely gut-wrenching. But, even in troubling times like this, there is so much strength and resilience. Heart goes out to everyone affected -- mentally, physically, and emotionally. ❤
I walked past the Arena at 7.30 that evening passing all the excited concert goers go in. And to hear 4 hours later on the news what happened was shocking and heartbreaking. Still puts a lump in my throat to hear these stories. RIP to all those who died and thinking of all the survivors ❤️❤️❤️
I just watched this and my condolences to everyone who lost someone that day. My respect for the Mom, her son looked like he was a happy kid. Just like the rest they were unaware but Usman my heart goes out to you as well RESPECT! Lucy and Amelia Beautiful Friendship hold on to it.
i remember this happening live on twitter and martyn's friends tweeting, asking about his whereabouts. it was truly heartbreaking when we found out. figen is a strong mother and every other victim etc is so strong and i hope the best for them all.
I remember being at my aunts house and my cousin was watching the news. He calls me over, he shows me and I start balling. Knowing they’re still terrorist still Rome after 9/11 was just breaking my heart.
Just want to say to all the survivors, it's incredible what you have achieved and your outlook on life given everything that has happened. Your strength is completely astonishing. ❤️
So much respect, love and compassion for Usman. Thank you for your bravery and for standing up as a Muslim and showing what it really means. You’re a beautiful soul. Love and prayers to everyone affected.
It’s extremely sad that the people that are supposed to be having the best night of there life soon turned into the worst, my deepest condolences to all the families and friends.
My brother knew Martyn - I didn't - but you can see the strength and intelligence his mother has. I can honestly see her effectively fighting terrorism and being a huge thorn in its side. I look forward to seeing what Martyn's Law and Figen wil accomplish.
We need you here Usman! You are a good man and I hope you find out and realise how valuable and special you are and that you absolutely belong here! I hope you find healing and peace soon x!
Usman, my love. You are an angel. Please know we love you and care for you! I hope you have someone to talk to and work through the guilt and pain you feel. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. You did everything you could and helped those around you. Sending you a big hug!
After watching a few of these videos....I've got to say survivors guilt has got to be the worst ..if you die you are gone ...if you live you gotta live with the knowledge of all that death ....keep your head up Usman ...while everyone else was running out you ran in ....that is something to be proud of
The fact ive been exactly where the bomb exploded so many times growing up makes it even more heartbreaking. its a cruel world we live in now. RIP to those taken in such an unfair way.
My ♥️ aches for the victims & their families. & Usman, being there in that moment was not a coincidence. It doesn't alleviate the pain but people like you remind us that there are genuinely good people in this 🌏
My heart goes out to everyone single person affected. After going through that and they now talking about it shows bravery. Everyone affected is very brave! ❤️
I wasn’t there, I didn’t know anyone who was. I was about 5-7. I cried for days, all these children a bit older than me and other people died that day. That was the day I realised that there are some awful people in this world. Rest in peace to all the people who passed away, you are missed.
@@drfanum well 1: I said 5-7 2: as I have already stated, I do not remember my age or the year. Also I joined UA-cam (on another account) when I was like 3. Nobody listens to UA-cam guidelines, I am 10 by the way and I’m not watching kids UA-cam 😐
In truth, the lawsuits filed against the arena and even her team that booked it would have been much higher. Covering the funeral could be used and likely was used in court to show that they had sympathy and a desire to care for the victims. Plus public outcry if it weren’t addressed would have been insane! I am happy and grateful she did, but it was likely an insurance claim opposed to personal money
@@katmills3978 quit being so cynical you didn’t crack any code. Ariana is not affiliated with the arena she simple performed there. She paid for the funerals because she was also a SURVIVOR, and has empathy.
so heartbreaking to have chosen that venue....knowing most victims would be young fans :( RIP to the angels we lost that night and prayers + blessings for the survivors. i can't imagine the guilt and ptsd :(
unfortunately realistically they targeted Ariana Grande because she shows a lot of skin and sings about sex etc which obviously religious extremists are against
Darling Usman, you did so much. No one could have saved everyone. It's ok to feel what you feel, just done let it keep you down. Thank you for what you did.
I used to work for showsec from dec 2018 to march 2020 at the Manchester arena over a year after this attack. I've seen Usman around. But I've never had a proper conversation with him. I've never gotten to know him, but after seeing this I have nothing but respect for him.
I will never not be horrified by this attack above all others. I will never not be humbled, moved, and proud by the response from the incredible people.
RIP to all 22 fatalities and love and best wishes to every single one affected by this horrible incident, I have family who live close and heard the bomb go off, watching this my hear hurts for Usman so much, everyone wants a farther like Martin, everyone is so brave to Speak openly, I really do hope that one day they can heal their hearts 🐝💜🧡💛💚💙
All of you are truly amazing. Martyn was just beautiful and I hope the work he has inspired can carry on. Usman...your heart is true, tender and humble. I need to know you returned to this world because those terrorists can’t be allowed to take you too. Keep fighting to fully return and to stay and may your life continue to have and to be light. 🤍💫

i was confused what she meant by that can you explain?
@@zoemunsell7602 As I interpreted, he got quite drunk before the concert and so when his mum was told that he died in a split second, even before his brain under the influence of alcohol could sense any pain, she was glad to know that her son didn't suffer. He probably died without knowing what happened right next to him.
@@zoemunsell7602 he was drunk and went somewhere instead of the concert
@@ooogabooogaa ??? The comment above you says he died and didn’t sense any pain from it, but your comment right after says he got drunk and went somewhere else from the concert.. what
I feel so bad for Usman. He really thinks that it's his fault that that poor girl died. It's not. I really hope he got the help he needed. He looks seriously traumatised.
I think its time to acknowledge that Islam is a fundamental threat to Human civilization and we need to isolate the Middle East from the rest of the world so they blow themselves up and not us. horrible violent religion.
@@covfefe1787 literally what😧
@@covfefe1787 Only someone that knows NOTHING of Islam would say this bullshit. Islam is literally built on the foundation of peace and love. RELIGIOUS RACIALISM, is the real problem and it isn’t isolated to Islam. In truth, this should be the case for ALL RELIGION, if you feel that way. All of the world’s greatest wars, including the world wars are linked directly to religion and various forms or radicalism. The majority of which are credited to the CHRISTIAN RELIGION, just FYI. ;) Hell even the Salem witch trials in which numerous innocent women were brutally murdered, was a result of Christianity.
@@covfefe1787 read what you said again slowly, with comprehension. if you dont see something wrong, go finish elementary school
@@katmills3978 please tell me why all designated terrorist organizations are all connected to Islamic fundamentalism. Do Christians blow themselves up for Jesus Christ in Muslim countries? The Salem which trials aren’t tied to region but pagan pagan practices of witchcraft. The Protestant puritans which don’t exist anymore used to it to enforce Protestantism through legal oppression. That’s not terrorism because that’s done by third parties used to install fear in non believers or a outside group. The Salem which trials were done by Protestants against Protestants.
My next door neighbour and his step-daughter were both there and they sadly both died, it was really strange to think that not a week earlier I was chatting to him in a local subway. RIP to all of the victims who passed

Usman brother please only stay positive my guy such a good man.
you can really see how Usman was affected. Hes an absolute amazing human who ran towards damger not knowing if another bomb was going to go off and did what he could
it must be so hard for him to come to terms with that he did everything he could but that girl still didn’t make it. i can imagine being in his position and questioning whether i could’ve done something more. i hope he’s alright. :(
I hope Usman reads these comments one day and feels all the love and support he has. I hope he is getting help for his PTSD. I just want to give him a hug

This is brilliant journalism, sensitively approached and reported with respect. Well done Ladbible, well done. It is covers the tragic incident better than anything I have seen on the BBC, Channel 4 et al.
I really feel for Usman. It seems he carries a lot of this on his shoulders and I hope he knows he did an amazing and courageous job on that day. Everyone who survived this trauma is stronger than they know. Love to you all ❤️
Usman, your heart is so good and pure. Please do not leave this Earth, we desperately need people like you. The only thing can drive out hate, is love.
@David Rosenberg I’m sure you do think that. But how do you distinguish? I’m assuming you’d rather just deport everyone?
@David Rosenberg and the Catholic priests? And the white terrorist organisations? And the white grooming gangs? Sex trafficking gangs? I’ve been in a room with an ex-terrorist. And let me tell you, the things he’s done with this world, the attacks he’s stopped, because he was shown kindness and de-radicalised. Obviously I’m not advocating to hug the person who is about to murder you. My point was (that you have taken out of context), we need people like Usman, who has been deeply affected by an attack and has thoughts of suicide. It was a message of love to someone whom isn’t a terrorist and has been deeply affected by terrorism. You have taken my comment and seem to be under the impression that I am some fragile naive little girl, I am not.
@@lauraa2437 excellent comments. We need more people like you in the world.
Watching usman talk is devastating and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all of you, and I hope you are doing much better by now. I am so sorry you had to experience this. Truly so sorry. I am so glad those of you that survived did. My heart breaks for those that lost their lives. No one should ever have to experience this. This should not be a thing.😢🙁
Usman you have ptsd and survivors guilt. It is okay to feel the way you feel. Allow yourself to feel those emotions, just don’t ever let them control you. You deserve a long beautiful fulfilling life. Those that lost their lives would agree. Everyone that survived that attack deserves to be able to go on and be happy and fulfilled. you are a doll, I’m so sorry for your pain.

@@gracetrippitt4050 hope your are alright! X
Dude Usman in particular looks so haunted by this event.
Yeah. Because the mothers and fathers of those that lost their lives and those left with life changing injuries in this clip seem pretty much over it.
i think it’s because he saw it all, the dismembered bodies, limbs, people dying all in front of him. that will stay with him for life.
@@cmcc3721 nobody's suggesting that the other people aren't also suffering or traumatised, but none of them discussed wanting to end their own lives because they couldn't do more to help people who were already dead. Hearing someone talk about themselves the way he did is really upsetting because he was a hero for the people he helped that night, surrounded by body parts and corpses, and all he can feel to do is blame himself for not being more brave when there's no way he could have possibly done more. The father who's now in a wheelchair is clearly also very traumatised from the way he very matter of factly says that his daughter was dying in front of him and he was powerless to help her, that so many others were already dead, so flat and emotionless. That's trauma too. Noting that one person is clearly haunted doesn't mean that nobody else is or can be. That would be absurd. Of course there's going to be others with lasting emotional damage from this terrible event, that shouldn't need to be said.
@@mydogeatspuke His emotional damage does not even register when compared to the parents in this clip that have lost children. You obviously don't have kids.
Just rambling nonsense.

It's a Bot post.
The person doesn't exist. Spammers etc study what videos are trending on the UA-cam algorithm and set a timed stream of coordinated posts from "shadow" accounts which a computer automatically sets up to look as real as possible inorder to bypass UA-cam's spam account safeguarding. When the video generates a certain amount of traffic and comments the Bots start posting comments re products and services which the Spammers hope genuine users will see and respond to. This particular video is littered with them, and given the subject matter it is particularly distasteful.

@@residentelect Thanks man. His account looked a lot more real when I commented this.
When he said he saw an arm and a leg and had to look at his limbs to make sure he still had them attached really made me scared even if I wasn't there I could feel the fear everyone at the concert had while listening to these point of views

Rest In Peace to the 22 people who's lives were taken from them
This was my first ever concert, aged 17. Thank God I managed to get out safe. I remember how when the bomb went off, the parents were telling their kids it was nothing to worry about. I initially thought it was a balloon because giant pink balloons were released and after we heard the screams from the other side of the arena I thought it was a gun. Luckily my friend and I managed to get out quickly and safely. I remember the smell of fireworks and seeing a man look frozen whilst his head was bleeding thinking it was from falling from the stampede. I told my family to put on the news as they didn’t believe me when I got home and said an explosion happened. A few moment later they confirmed it was a terror attack 😣 it will haunt me forever but thank God everyday my friend and I was safe 🙏🏼 rip to the 22 who weren’t as lucky 🥺
The instinct to think that terrifying sounds couldnt possibly happen to you is a dangerous one. I remember watching video on here of that gunman who shot all those people from that casino in Las Vegas, and SO MANY people that heard gunfire, didnt really react, and ended up getting shot. While I understand panicking over every little sound is dangerous in itself, and the confusion of a situation like that is real, I think one positive thing that needs to come from events like these, as absurd as it sounds, is to have a plan whenever you go somewhere where theres a lot of people. Know your exits, and which direction they are in, and if you hear a boom, or anything that sounds like gunfire, get down and find cover.
These things can happen to ANYONE. Thats the sad state that this world is in nowadays, and sadly, I think its only going to happen more frequently.
Rest in peace to all the 22 angels ♥️ the survivors are so strong, my heart goes out to everyone ❤️
brave brave people, i wasn’t even there and this has scared me for so many years... Love to everyone ♥️
This chilled me for months after I thought of how easily it could have happened at any numerous shows I had attended in the past and felt danger could be anywhere

Man, you can tell how bad that effected Usman…my heart goes out to all the people :( I was actually planning on going to the concert, but decided to cancel last minute. I’ll forever be thankful.

All incredible & brave people! I can't begin to understand what each of you went through.
And Usman, what a hero!
With the rampant Islamophobia in our current culture, I think Usman's story here is so important- he's a Muslim himself expressing that he believes true Islamic values are to be helping people. And the mother is so right about blaming the organizations behind these attacks. I feel so much for all of these survivors, I used to go to lots of concerts and this kind of thing never crossed my mind back then. We need more direct, effective action against terrorism, and also for the people in power to work harder at mitigating the tensions that move people to become terrorists in the first place.
Usman, you mean a lot to everyone, keep going strong brother ❤️
I hope Usman finds the peace he needs. What an incredible person ❤️
The fact that there is so much hatred and evil in the world is absolutely gut-wrenching. But, even in troubling times like this, there is so much strength and resilience. Heart goes out to everyone affected -- mentally, physically, and emotionally. ❤
I walked past the Arena at 7.30 that evening passing all the excited concert goers go in. And to hear 4 hours later on the news what happened was shocking and heartbreaking. Still puts a lump in my throat to hear these stories. RIP to all those who died and thinking of all the survivors ❤️❤️❤️
I just watched this and my condolences to everyone who lost someone that day. My respect for the Mom, her son looked like he was a happy kid. Just like the rest they were unaware but Usman my heart goes out to you as well RESPECT! Lucy and Amelia Beautiful Friendship hold on to it.
i remember this happening live on twitter and martyn's friends tweeting, asking about his whereabouts. it was truly heartbreaking when we found out. figen is a strong mother and every other victim etc is so strong and i hope the best for them all.
You probably support Muslims
I remember being at my aunts house and my cousin was watching the news. He calls me over, he shows me and I start balling. Knowing they’re still terrorist still Rome after 9/11 was just breaking my heart.

The fact Ariana offered and paid for funerals of people that died on that day
In truth, the lawsuits filed against the arena and even her team that booked it would have been much higher. Covering the funeral could be used and likely was used in court to show that they had sympathy and a desire to care for the victims. Plus public outcry if it weren’t addressed would have been insane! I am happy and grateful she did, but it was likely an insurance claim opposed to personal money
@@katmills3978 quit being so cynical you didn’t crack any code. Ariana is not affiliated with the arena she simple performed there. She paid for the funerals because she was also a SURVIVOR, and has empathy.
But she didn't, that was just an Internet rumour that spread, families of the victims have stated they received no money from her.
