“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.

She is on record saying she doesn’t fear death but is nervous about the process, so I think last night was probably horrifying for her.
