(BBC) Risk assessments carried out by the Manchester Arena operators were “flawed” and “pretty much box ticking,” an inquiry has heard.
Miriam Stone, SMG’s head of events, told the inquiry into the attack there was no specific assessment done for the Ariana Grande concert or consideration given to the terrorism risk.
She said while there were flaws with the written documentation, “we did assess the risk.”
The 2017 suicide bomb killed 22 people.
Paul Greaney QC, counsel to the public inquiry, asked Ms Stone, who was one of the duty managers on the night of the attack, if the assessments were done to ensure a “box was ticked.”
