    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.
