Sadly, no-one can foresee the problems likely to be encountered in such a tragedy and it is utterly impossible to have teams of police officers or emergency services descend on a location within a short time.
Thankfully, in this country, we do not require such teams to be sitting in a room waiting on such a call. But when it does arise, the teams have to be assembled and fully briefed regarding the situation and they then have to get to the location.
