BACK TO YOU. >> RICHARD ENGLE, OUTSIDE THE
MANCHESTER ARENA. THANK YOU.
>> AS YOU SAW AND AS RICHARD MENTIONED, THE BOMBING SET OFF
CHAOS. ZACH WAS THERE WITH SOME
FRIENDS. GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> HI. >> I WAS READING THAT YOU AND
FRIENDS WERE CONSIDERING LEAVING THE CONCERT BEFORE THE ENCORE
SONG. AND SOMEONE CONVINCED YOU TO
STAY, WHICH PUT YOU INSIDE THE ARENA WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
IS THAT RIGHT? >> YEAH.
WELL, WE WERE -- STOOD THERE, WE KNEW SHE WOULD HAVE AN ENCORE
SONG. CERTAIN PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO
LEAVE. WE STOPPED THEM AND SAID, YOU
SHOULD WAIT. SHE'S GOING TO DO ANOTHER SONG.
IT WILL BE AN ENCORE. IF WE DIDN'T TELL THEM THAT,
THEY COULD HAVE LEFT. AND THINGS COULD HAVE TAKEN A
TURN FOR THE WORSE. WE WERE PLANNING ON LEAVING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE LEAVING EARLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW
IF IT WAS ANNER CORE OR NOT. AND IT HAPPENED AFTER THE FINAL
SONG. NO ONE KNEW AT THAT MOMENT.
>> WHAT DID YOU HEAR? WHAT DID YOU SEE?
>> IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE TEN SECONDS AFTER SHE LEFT, AFTER
THE LIGHTS CAME UP. THERE WAS A HUGE BANG.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT.
OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING OF IT.
MAYBE SHE DROPPED THE MIC BACKSTAGE.
WE WERE MAKING A JOKE OF IT. IT WASN'T UNTIL MOMENTS AFTER
EVERYONE STARTED SCREAMING, WE WERE ON THE UPPER TIER.
WE COULD SEE THE WHOLE ARENA. AND WE SAW EVERYONE RUNNING
TOWARDS THE EXIT WHERE WE WERE. IT TOOK US A WHILE TO GET DOWN.
THAT'S WHEN WE GOT OUT INTO THE ARENA LOBBY.
WE SAW EVERYONE SCREAMING AND CRYING.
IT WAS HORRIFIC. >> DID YOU GET NEAR, DO YOU
THINK, WHERE THE BOMB WAS DETONATED?
I'M SURE THE BOMB WAS DETONATED ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR, OBVIOUSLY
TOWARDS THE BACK. IT WASN'T INSIDE WHERE WE WERE.
IT WAS IN THE LOBBY, IN THE OUTSIDE, WHERE THE T-SHIRT
STANDS ARE. BUT I KNOW A FRIEND THAT WAS OUT
THERE AT THE SAME TIME. AND SHE SAID WHEN SHE HEARD IT
TO OFF, SHE FELT THE VIBRATIONS. WE WERE ON THE UPPER TIER, SO,
WE DIDN'T. WE WEREN'T AS CLOSE.
SHE HEARD IT SO CLEARLY AND SO LOUDLY.
THAT'S WHERE EVERYONE SCATTERED AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED.
>> DID YOU SEE THE INJURED? WE UNDERSTAND IT, THERE WAS THE
EXPLOSION. BUT ALSO, A CHAOS AND A STOOM
PED THAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS. >> YEAH.
IT WAS CRAZY. WE GOT OUT, WENT TO THE LOBBY
WAS, WHERE THE EXIT WAS. AND THERE WERE PEOPLE WITH
BANDAGES.
THERE WAS BLOOD EVERYWHERE. WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WE HEARD BOMB A FEW TIMES. AND EVERYBODY WAS PANICKING.
WE SAW PEOPLE ALL DOWN THE STREET WITH BLANKETS, GETTING
HELP. LITTLE KIDS CRYING.
WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
WE HEARD A LOUD BANG. >> ZACH, YOU'RE A YOUNG GUY.
YOU'VE BEEN LIVING IN THE U.K. UNDER A HEIGHTENED STATE OF
ALARM FOR SECURITY. DOES THIS NOW CHANGE THINGS FOR
YU? >> DOES THIS CHANGE THE WAY YOU
VIEW YOUR SURROUNDINGS? DOES IT CHANGE THE WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO GO ABOUT LIVING YOUR LIFE?
>> I THINK IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY FOR EVERYONE THERE LAST
NIGHT. YOU TONIGHT EXPECT IT.
THERE WAS SECURITY ON THE WAY IN.
EVERYONE'S BAGS WERE BEING CHECKED.
MY F FRIEND HAD A BACKPACK, SHE WAS BEING CHECKED.
ON THE WAY OUT, THEY OPENED THE DOOR FOR ANYONE.
THERE WAS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO MEET THEIR FRIENDS, KIDS AND
PEOPLE TO GO HOME. THE TERRORISTS COULD HAVE EASILY
GONE IN TOWARDS THE END OF THE CONCERT.
THAT WOULD BE WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAS CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE IN
TERMS OF SAFETINESS. OBVIOUSLY.
YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU NEVER KNOW
