The report, published today, also said 999 chiefs made mistakes because no-one believed a terror attack could really happen. Twenty-two people were killed and hundreds were injured in the suicide attack at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017. Sir John Saunders, chair of the public inquiry, said the majority of those who died were so badly injured they could not have survived. But he said two, John Atkinson, 28, and the youngest victim, eight-year-old Saffie-Rose Roussos, did have a chance. Today's hearings began and ended with a minute's silence to remember those who died. Their photographs were displayed in the hearing room at Manchester Magistrates' Court at the start of the public inquiry as their final movements were outlined - where they were when Salman detonated his bomb in the City Room foyer, the extent of the medical treatment given, and the details of their injuries. The 22 people who were killed in the attack The inquiry heard only three paramedics went into the City Room after the attack. And crews from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service took more than two hours to attend the Arena. In his second report into the atrocity, Sir John said: 'I have concluded that one of those who died, John Atkinson, would probably have survived had the emergency response been better.' He added: 'In the case of Saffie‑Rose Roussos, I have concluded that there was a remote possibility that she could have been saved if the rescue operation had been conducted differently.' There was a "remote possibility" that eight-year-old Saffie-Rose Roussos could have been saved if she received better medical care ( UGC/FAMILY) But the 884-page report also paid to tribute to the 'heroic' actions of ordinary members of the public who joined police and security and medical teams trying to save lives in a 'war zone'.
