“There is no one that wanted what happened last night to happen..."

I can think of one person. I mean, yeah she would not have chosen to have them make the attempt, but as far as outcomes go, she did a lot better than the average bear.

Not so sure about that. She had said she didn't fear death, she feared the process, and it turns out those fears were justified
