Mr. Simon Carswell:

My memory of that period was that I was trying to talk to everybody I could in all of the different agencies to try to find out what was going on. There was a sense of out-and-out panic. People were trying to figure out what was going on. From the point of view of a journalist it was a fertile time to be reporting on it because one was able to find out a lot more. People across the spectrum were speaking to me and other journalists to try to find out what I had heard. It was a frenzy of trying to find out information about what was going on.
