Zach Bruce Manchester

Video Transcript:

Dr. Zach Bruce attended the concert, but he left early. He was at Manchester's Victoria station, which was located right next to the arena when the bomb exploded. He captured the scene on videos as panic crowds rushed into the station. Zach joins us now for Manchester. Zach, good morning to you. Hi, good morning. Zach, set the scene for us. What were you doing? What did you see? Well, I was at the concert. She was performing her last song, but I left half of it through me because I need to get back to my hotel. And I was at the Victoria station, which is just right next to Manchester Arena. I was walking down the stairs and then this huge bang just went off. I didn't know what it was. Then all of a sudden everyone started to run away from the scene. People were crying. People were being sick. It's looking for the kids, parents on the phone, fun if the kids don't care. Just all crazy. What did you think was happening, Zach, when you saw the people running in that explosion? What did you think that was? Well, I thought it was like part of the show. I must have gone out with a bang, but it was too loud for it to be there. So I knew then that it would be something different, more serious. Tell us about the crowd at the concert. Sumadolped, but it was mainly kids, but what other event? Let me ask you about security there. Was there any security when you went into the concert? Well, the funny thing, the way thing was, I went to show them a ticket. But when I was gone there, no one had a scantum, say about anything on them. They just showed them my ticket and then they let me in. And the same goes to the people who were there. No one was searching for bags or nothing. So in the beginning, Zach, you didn't really realize how serious this was. No. Because I just took the video, I had the explosion. I took the video. And then I just walked in the hotel. Because I didn't think it was anything serious. But it's been serious. Yeah, it's very serious. Zach, Bruce, we thank you for joining us this morning. No problem. Thank you. I don't believe Zach's story for a moment. And it's because even in this two-minute clip that he's done with the news, he's got changed his story. He's gone from this. I was walking down the stairs and then this huge bang just went off. I didn't know what it was. Then he's asked us to what he thinks has actually happened. Well, I thought it was like part of the show. Like, I must have, I'd go up with a bang, but it was too loud for it to be there. So I knew then that it would be something different, more serious. The firms after we realise is it's not part of the show that it is in fact serious. But then later in the interview, he then says that this is his actual actions. I just took the video. I heard the explosion. I took the video. And then I just walked in the hotel. Because I didn't think it was anything serious. The point I'm trying to make with this is that Zach's role is to capture the footage of people running away. What you're looking at is people running down the stairs from the fire. Now whether these are people that are genuine, that have come from the fire, or if they've been guided around the fire so that they can go down the stairs, is neither here nor there. The point I'm trying to make is Zach is the one who needs to capture this footage. In one hand, he didn't think it was serious and then just went straight back to his hotel. It was one thing. But then he also says that it was serious. And at the end of the day, if he's capturing footage of people running away from what he assumes to be a blast, he should be wondering what that is. Would he not go up to the fire to see what's going on? Would he not help people? No, he just walked straight back to his hotel and didn't think anything of it. Now it isn't just his interview that worries me about this guy. Zach is the one who was filming this. And as I've put on the screenshot before, this is a song called Side by Side. It's about halfway through the set list. But what Zach did is that we all know that the bomb had gone off at about half-ten at night. Yet Zach tweeted this. Now this tweet has been deleted from Zach's timeline. And I believe it's because he's tweeting something that is 45 minutes after a bomb blast that doesn't marry up with the rest of the timeline. So someone has told him to get rid of it. The problem I've got is that he captured footage of people running away from a bomb blast. If you hadn't done that and just simply heard something turned around, thought it was part of the gig and then went back to the hotel, a bit more like his other story, then I'd understand why he would have tweeted this 45 minutes later because he may not have got the news that in fact a bomb had gone off. But we know this can't be the case because he's just said to the news this. Well then all of a sudden everyone started to run away from the side. People were crying. People weren't being safe. Parents looking for the kids. Parents on the phone. Fun, if the kids are all here. Just all crazy. It isn't just that tweet that he deleted as well. He also deleted this one. I mean it's an interesting choice of words but this is a tweet to the support act for Ariana Grande. And once he deleted both those tweets, so you've got 1115, he tweets the first one. 1122, he tweets this one. And then at 1129 he actually pins the tweet of the video which like I say, went round the world and being used by all the different news. Now we just can't fathom how if he's caught this footage, which I assume he has because he's the one posting it, how he knows he's got this footage, he's witnessed all this stuff. He describes what he saw around him with when people were running about being sick and all this stuff. Yet he still tweeted to both Ariana Grande and the support act saying, great night as if he doesn't know what's going on. But then he says he does. So what the hell's going on here? So after he's tweeted that particular video, he's obviously then inundated with different news stations, wanting interviews and one credit fit. We'll give him credit for using that video, which is fine, I couldn't understand that. And then the next day he's then tweeted this. But what I can't get my head round is, I mean I've spent untold amount of time looking into this guy. I went for all his social medias Instagram. I mean, he's a guy who has lip filler and he plucks his eyelashes. He goes round the world. He seems to have been to Times Square a few times. He's met with a good morning America at one occasion about four years ago. He's a guy that I think he's trying to be a model. And when we're looking at why people do these things, is that what his goal is to be? Or is he a failed model on their fores, is falling on hard times? You look at his Instagram and he's gone to multiple concerts. So it begs the question, why he would believe in early, even though he was going to a hotel. Why the rush? You could stay longer if necessary. And that's why I believe he is the person who needs to capture that footage. That is his role. And he's mocked up by being a bit star struck with about the actual concert itself. Tweeted that stuff out and he's been told, no, you best get rid of that because that's not part of the script. Another Twitter can be funny about the time stamps. So what I did is I made absolutely sure that Mount set to GMT plus one. And then the other tweets that people were putting out that were inside the arena, check their times against it. So there can be no doubt that he definitely tweeted 45 minutes after the blast. So in the words of stereo MCs, something ain't right.
