#TIM MCLEAN SCENE DRIVER#
"We heard this blood-curdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy sitting next to him repeatedly," Caton said.Ĭaton and the driver soon returned to the vehicle, however, and found the assailant still hacking the young man's body into pieces. "When he was attacking him, he was calm - it was like he was at the beach," Caton said. Passenger Garnet Caton told the Canadian press that the assailant had "no rage or anything" and "was just like a robot" as he decapitated the victim. The 37 passengers who escaped the bus after the bloodshed began, including several children, were later taken to a nearby hotel by the Canadian mounted police. Tributes to McLean have appeared in droves on the popular online networking site, Facebook. The shocking story has focussed worldwide attention on the small Manitoba town of Portage La Prairie, where the bus stopped after the attack began. After pulling out a hunting knife and stabbing McLean as many as 40 or 50 times, witnesses said, Li displayed the victim's severed head to horrified passengers who had already fled the bus. Another was taken to the wrong hotel after being unable to find their booking details, and one person whose cards were declined couldn’t access online banking to fix the issue.Reports from the scene of the ostensibly random attack describe Li as boarding the bus, which was en route to Winnipeg, without incident. Some of the nightmare anecdotes by people who couldn’t use their phone abroad include one person who was propositioned in Amsterdam after getting lost in the red-light district. It also emerged that 28 per cent of 18-24-year-olds have never even studied a physical map.Īnd 29 per cent of people admit they’d lack confidence in going on holiday if they weren’t able to access mobile data while they were there – with this rising to 38 per cent for data-dependent millennials. The research also found over a third of millennials (37 per cent) have done just that, and got lost on a trip abroad – which is more than any other generation. It can be a real lifeline, but when we can’t use our phones, we are – sometimes quite literally – lost.” Our phones are an all-in-one map, translation guide, wallet, weather forecast, currency calculator, guide-book, and more. “But there are lots of other subtle changes that have happened to the way we travel – many of which have come about due to the launch of the smartphone. People of a certain generation will remember that it doesn’t feel all that long ago that the inflight entertainment was limited, while meals on board a flight were free. And this is perhaps unsurprising, as nearly a fifth (18 per cent) of those aged 55 to 64 confess they are “not spontaneous at all” when it comes to booking travel.Įlin McLean, general manager at SMARTY, which commissioned the research, said: “Travel has changed a lot, even in the last decade or so. More than a quarter (27 per cent) of Gen Zs also admit they’ve poked fun at older people, like their parents, for the way they prepare for a trip abroad. And 28 per cent have never set foot into a travel agent or sent a postcard from their trip – while 17 per cent haven’t worried about using mobile data while away. Nearly four in 10 (39 per cent) of those, aged 18-24, haven't taken a holiday snap with a camera that needed film. It comes after a poll of 2,000 adults, who travel abroad, found Gen Zs have never packed a “Rough Guide”, used a traveller’s cheque, or bought a phrase book ahead of a holiday.
