Manchester Arena inquiry: What were the missed opportunities to stop Salman Abedi on night of attack?

, the inquiry's chairman Sir John Saunders said the arena's operator SMG, security company Showsec and British Transport Police were"principally responsible for the missed opportunities" to try to stop suicide bomber Salman Abedi - but there were also"failings by individuals".'Missed opportunities' to try to stop attack

• SMG's"inadequate" CCTV system that left a blind spot allowing Abedi to hide for an hour in the foyer of the arena before he blew himself up The force also"failed to give adequate consideration to the threat from terrorism when assessing the risks to the public when events were taking place", it concluded.

Sir John said it was"implicit" in his findings that SMG and Showsec"failed to take steps to improve security at the arena that they should have taken"."Further, not taking those steps did save the companies money but again that does not mean that they knowingly risked the safety of event‑goers to increase their profits," Sir John said.

"Had SMG done so, it is highly likely that the security arrangements at the arena would have been improved," the inquiry found.

This highlights the lack of clear roles and responsibilities in a blame culture - the bomber should never have been allowed to get there but then people object to cameras, face recognition and AI. To be more safe we need more surveillance - and clear R&Rs.

Think them police need hang there heads in shame , 2 hours get kebabs in ? Horrible

Something unpleasant about looking for a scapegoat instead focusing on the evil bastard who did this
