First responders tell of the carnage that greeted them when they arrived at the blazing nightclub, and their brave attempts to rescue who they could. By 4am 40 bodies are lined up in the city morgue, while the city’s hospitals become over-run with the injured as medical staff try to cope in the aftermath of the tragedy. Desperate families are woken in the middle of the night and flee to garda stations and sick wards in search of their loved ones.
