July 7 'insult' to 999 crews
EFLThe Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said people who criticised the emergency services over their response to the July 7 terror attacks were "nit picking" and said the rest of the world was "in awe" of how the services reacted. He was responding to a report by the London Assembly which exposed a catalogue of failings including massive communication problems, a lack of basic medical supplies and a "completely unacceptable" failure to properly care for thousands of survivors. The report said it was "unacceptable" that the emergency services were still unable to communicate by radio when underground - despite recommendations which followed the King's Cross fire 18 years ago. A Transport for London spokesman said a £2 billion radio network for the Tube was being rolled out next year. Posted by: ryuge 2006-06-06 |
