Macao Grand Prix Organisers Issue Statement On Bridge Accident
The undersigned, on behalf of the Organising and Executive Committee of the Macno Grand Prix, wishes to state that an enquiry is being held into the circumstances which led to the collapse of the Pedestrian Bridge last Sunday. No further comment on this point is possible ni tille moment.
However, in view of the reports in the Press and of rumours that have reached the Committee eobeerning the accident, il le dentrable that some of the exaggerations and inaccuracles be corrected.
NOT TRUE
Flemily, it has been stated that Die bridge was being pred nan sort of grandstand. This is not true, although it in probable that some Inltered on the bridge.
Secondly, it has been stated that Mr John Wallace "is credited" with having averted a greater disaster by hla warning over his radio link; while it is true that this was the first warning received in English at the Race Control, a report over the Race Control's own radio link is Portuguese was received first and acted upon. Thousands of speciators evuld not have falled to see how promptly the race was stopped after that.
Reports on casualties have been greatly exaggerated, There were no deaths fortunately but 19 people were injured all of whom were treated al Government Hospital. Of these, all but 8 were discharged immediately following treatment, and a further two were discharred within the next 48 hours. Only alx vlothes are will in hospital and these will be dis- charged in the next few days except for two Chinese, males who suffered leg fractures which by their nature will take longer to heal.
REGRETS
Though the Committee are grateful for the fact that the accident was not of a more serious character, the under- signed wants to say how deeply it is regretted by the Com- mittee that the accident should have happened at all. The greatest sympathy is hereby extended to all the victims for the pain and distress suffered.
CARLOS H. DA SILVA, Chairman Organising Committee.
[The Commillee also take objection to the China Mall's pare 1 story on Monday in which reference is made to "sur- vivora" since this implies that deaths were caused by the collapsing_bridre. There were no deaths as the above jelter states and the China Mall did not intend to suggest there were.-Ed.]
