It's a big world with a lot going on in it and many sources and priorities of information other than what the MSM chooses to headline.

Not all of us will have known what you were talking about. Now we do.

I can't criticize anyone caught up in something like that for their behaviour with the luxury of hindsight and being some few hundreds miles away, rather than stuck in claustrophobic situations not knowing that was happening.

Certainly not in a city that's had quite a few serious terrorist attacks over decades.
