[@scottycrayon]

There was nothing he could do. He should just remember he was watching a young pop star to make his daughter happy.

[@bobfranklin2572]

He literally did physically protect her. He shielded her from the blast. He clearly hasn't properly processed and dealt with the event, and that's totally okay

[@bookcreator]

The really sad part is she probably feels a lot of guilt too, that if she didn’t like Ariana Grande they wouldn’t be there. Just awful

[@actionnotwords6344]

He is not the let down ,the British government are the let down. Continue to allow ,persons who have absolutely nothing in common with British folk ,none whatsoever. How many have been butchered since this and how many more will be ? Generational problems await native Britons.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

I don’t think he will be able to. Very sad to say but it’s father and mothers instinct to protect their children at all costs including dying to protect them. RIP to those who were taken from the Earth

[@annettereynolds1995]

Saffie Roussos, the youngest victim at 8 years old, lived in my town. Her parents owned a fish and chip shop. They had to buy a huge amount of buckets to put in the flowers that were laid outside the shop. I've never seen anything like it. I went to lay flowers for her outside the shop, and there were just rows upon rows upon rows of buckets full of flowers laid down for her. It was just heartbreaking.

[@John.AR.Activism]

Its a disgrace what I read about Saffie, no one put a tourniquet on her for I believe it was 45minutes, at which point it was too late for her, the first aid response was generally appalling from what Ive read and heard from the inquiry, people died because they were not treated quickly enough.

@@John.AR.Activism being trained and being put into a certain situation are a million miles apart especially with something like that. Your trained to administer first aid and save life’s but not deal with mass murders from some scumbag terrorist. It’s a different ball games all together but again I do see where your coming from but the main thing is no one should have been put in the situation at all.

[@tsweens13]

I remember coming back to the city centre the weekend after this all happened. I remember standing there and seeing a sea of flowers, cards, balloons, teddies and god knows what else as high as your waist take up the entire middle of the street. Must have been hundreds of thousands of flowers left there in memory. It brought the city closer than ever before and even today, 3 and a half years later, the entire city is absolutely covered in the same image of the Manchester bee. Every logo, statue and sign bearing the same mark of solidarity, strength and determination.

@@stephaniekelly3375 I believe the youngest victim who died was just 5 years old. Absolutely tragic.

[@Leaferr]

I had a very similar thing with the Christchurch mosque shooting in New Zealand a day or 2 after it had happened. It's hard to describe the feeling but I dont think I've ever noticed how loud true silence is, it's like being able to hear every little bump and change of the wind. The park right across the road from the mosque it happened at is a park that me and my mum would go for walks on weekly when I was a kid and seeing flowers covering from head to toe street to street is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

[@cogglers]

This hit me hard. His description on just about everything mirrored the horror I went through getting stabbed 10 times in 2016. I think about it when I wake up and when I go to sleep every day. Thank you for sharing your story Martin.

[@LorienInksong]

Q_Q Sir you haven't let your daughter down. You ate 22 pieces of shrapnel with your own body to protect Eve. Even if you didn't intend it you shielded her from one of the most evil destructive things (a coward blowing themselves up with a bomb among civilians) with your whole body. You got between her and him. Neither of you should have lived. I believe you both did because of your determination to protect her and stay with us. I'm so sorry you're both living with life altering injuries. You both deserve so much better, as do the other families. Thank you for being so strong in this. Please don't hesitate to reach out for support.

Wow just wow, this hits home being a father with a little girl that one day I hope to do all the things you had been doing with your daughter. It shows when listening to you with all the bad in the world there is still greatness and that is you and your positive outlook even after all that ha happened. There is nothing wrong with your Superman cape it's as bright as ever. I wish you and everyone your family all the best. 🙏

[@felixhenson9926]

I hope you never have to do what he had to do for his daughter. Also when he said that about his cape now being tattered that made me sad. He wasn't able to do all the things he had meant to do for his daughter because it was an impossible standard. Just do everything you can for her - that's enough.

[@Chris85660]

I’m sure your daughter is very proud of her dad. Keep strong 👊🏼

[@MattBooth]

You didn't fail as a Dad, mate. From one dad to another. You have achieved the pinnacle of fatherhood. Had you not been shielding your daughter, she might not be here.

[@Greksallad]

What a fucking amazing guy. I wish I had the same strength to think positively, push on and not be overcome with anger and bitterness in the face of such hardship. And you absolutely didn't let your daughter down mate. You took her out to a concert to spend time with her and make her happy. There are many kids who would give anything for a dad like that. It isn't your fault that some sociopath who thought he had the right to murder people happened to be there. I hope you and your family are doing well, sending all my love from Sweden.

Top man, top attitude. Love the 'they've never met a Hibbert' attitude towards recovery, your determination is inspiring!

[@SkepticalTeacher]

It's interesting how he says that you get your head around not being able to walk quite quickly, and that it's all the other stuff that you can't do or do differently that is difficult to assimilate. I had never thought of that before...

[@oliverdesvaux]

What? Really? Yeah, he’ll never be able to drive, have a catheter for all his life, never get a hard on and therefore never have sex…. T10 is a proper break - the scumbag who caused this is hopefully rotting in hell

[@LevadeNZ]

@@oliverdesvaux Not necessarily for a bunch of those. A cath, yes, that's likely. Sex comes down to how well you and your partner can communicate and adapt with how your body responds. But driving? There's no reason he couldn't drive, hand controls exist. With his ultralite, he can also probably climb curbs and a couple stairs - I used to be able to do curb hops easily in my chair before I declined. If wheelchair users around here can fetch their horses from the paddock, he can walk his dog wherever he wants with appropriate wheels.

[@fawnahearts]

I just watched the "I was there" video just yesterday. The strength of his spirit is insurmountable. God bless you and those who were injured and lost

Should your country stop taking in refugees or immigrants from muslim countries? Yes or No?

@@attiylanen interesting question! I'm in the US so we're already a massive shit show. I still say helping people is the right thing to do. I believe we should help those in need and I won't fault an entire group of people. Granted, all I'm able to do is donate when I'm able so I go that route

[@attiylanen]

@@fawnahearts I'm also in favour of helping people, but I have to draw a line when helping results in attacks like this.

[@John.AR.Activism]

@@attiylanen Well its too late isnt it. "The barbarians don't take the city until someone opens the gates for them" Well the gates were opened in the 90s, you do the maths. I'm not even against immigration in general, i'm against how much we've had, whole areas of this country have changed. Its literally a matter of whens the next attack, not if. In fact a taxi has just blown up outside a hospital.... lets see whos responsible for that shall we?
