    CHAPTER 5 THE ISLAND’S AFTERMATH OF BITTERNESS 5.1 Introduction “This is the type of thing that stops you dead in your tracks, sick and stunned. The whole island is sick, the radio is on all the time, broadcasting news, and for some reason we all seem to carry a feeling of guilt.” (Taken from a letter written by an islander to his relatives on the mainland and reproduced in the Manchester Evening News, August 9th, 1973) It was the morning of Friday, August 3rd, 1973. The Isle of Man had been devastated by the worst British fire disaster since the Second World War and the press began to descend on Douglas to report on its aftermath. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the aftermath of the Summerland disaster. This chapter will describe the police and the Fire Research Station’s investigation into the fire; and the reactions of the architects, the Chief Fire Officer, Trust House Forte, Douglas Corporation and the Manx Government to the disaster with all their allegations, finger-pointing and denials of blame. This chapter will also include extensive comment on the Summerland disaster from building and fire experts in Britain. The material is arranged chronologically to enable the reader to see how events unfolded over time, and the controversies and contradictions that arose in people’s comments about the fire. 261 5.2 Comment and reaction in the seven days after the fire DAY 1: FRIDAY, AUGUST 3RD Police investigation The theory that the fire was started by an electrical fault in the Amusement Arcade (section 4.4) was dismissed by the Friday morning by eyewitness accounts of youths “acting furtively” on the crazy-golf terrace at 7.55pm and then running away “in a guilty fashion” when the fire started.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 On the 19th October 2000 Tynwald resolved: That Tynwald appoint a Select Committee of three members to consider and report on the Petition for Redress of Grievance of Albert Edward Ansfield and Geoffrey Sheard Sanders representing the Carrick Park Residents Association at Tynwald assembled at St John's on Tynwald Day 2000 and we were elected to be that Committee. The petition is set out in Appendix 1. The prayer reads — Tynwald Court establish a Select Committee to examine and report on the aforementioned flooding which took place on the 24th October 1998 with particular regard to events and circumstances impacting on the overflowing of the Sulby River and the flooding of dwellings in Carrick Park; and seek to: A. determine responsibility for the flooding in question and make recommendations to enhance Government policy, structures and procedures to prevent a reoccurrence of such flooding, and B. evaluate the Drainage Act 1934 and other relevant legislation to determine its adequacy in relation to present day requirements. 1.2 The Committee set a timetable for receipt of written evidence and the hearing of oral evidence. This timetable was, by necessity, changed after the subsequent flooding event in Sulby on Friday 8th December 2000.
