Sergeant Wilson Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Just now, Mark Connolly said: I've heard that a few times before - it would normally refer to loss of limb or something along those lines. Or catastrophic head injury. You're alive, but It's not good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 C4 just admitted they f*cked up on identifying the terrorist. Seems like pretty poor journalism. If the guy had moved to Pakistan or something you can understand them not being able to confirm his whereabouts, but by all accounts he's in a British prison. Surely that's something they could have looked into first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be surprised if C4 got it wrong though, they are normally pretty accurate. I think that was the exact term used in the statement issued at the time. Catastrophic injuries is a really powerful term, and not one I'd heard before. Pretty sure the term "catastrophic" was first used in relation to this by a junior doctor treating the injured.

D.A.F.C Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It always surprises me, thankfully, just how useless/stupid/deluded these terrorists are. If you wanted to make a statement would you not have killed an actual MP or someone connected to the Iraq war or Syria? Mowing down innocent people is doing completely the opposite of what they are trying to achieve. It will be interesting to hear their motives and who is behind it.

Absolutely buzzing to hear her hot take on all this tomorrow What an absolute knob Andrew Neil is by the wayl. Have a read below any consolatory messages that anyone vaguely involved with the SNP has tweeted about this as well. Some of these people are not well. If this day has confirmed nothing else, it's the absolute c**t status of that jug eared w****r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A major incident was declared so Guys and St Thomas's would have likely had a PR team on site. It may have been a doctor who spoke but who ever it was would have been trained in what to say. The recent trend had been for "life changing". That is pretty interchangeable with "catastrophic". The adjective would very likely have been part of the preplanned set of terms to describe various conditions for a major incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
