Sadly I agree, unless you 'pedestrianise' vast areas of town/city centers the potential is always there.

I'm gonna stick my neck on the block by saying we're buggered. It's a sad state of affairs, all sympathy for the victims and their families, but even spending ££ zillions won't prevent it happening again.

I guess it all comes down to sheer luck in the end, much the same as a plane crash, a motorway pile-up, or being hit by lightning . . wrong place, wrong time.

All we can do is carry on living as we do, and hope that we personally get through unscathed.
