Mum in London, cousin in Colombo, both watching something that still looks like "takes to the streets." Ada has not posted an ending. They think we are in a crush. We are on a step eating a biscuit. One photo of the hotel gate, or a lecture about timestamps.

Pin + a photo of the gate or the room. "Procession is home, we are in, Ada's item is the 6.40 start, not a disaster." Do not argue with a cousin about CMS timestamps. They will calm down when they see a ceiling fan.

There is still no injury / stampede item on Ada, Newsfirst, Newswire, or Daily Mirror at 9.40. "Are you safe" is what families send when a crowd is on TV. Answer the human question. Skip the media analysis.

We sent a blurry shoe photo and "eating biscuits." It worked better than a news link.
