Social Media Reunited Two Friends Who Got Lost At The Ariana Grande Concert

Vicky Bates is from the area of England in between Manchester and Liverpool, called St. Helens.

Her friend, Heather, was visiting from Scotland so they could go see the Ariana Grande concert. Heather went alone, Vicky stayed at home.

Then the bomb exploded.

After learning of the attack, she realized that Heather wasn’t answering her phone. She feared the worst.

She put a desperate call out on Twitter to see if anyone had seen Heather or knew where she was.

It was then that Nathan Lamb sent this tweet:

@RileyBlackery She’s safe, we’re at a premier inn right now on Medlock street, we saw her on the street and her phone was dead so we let her stay with us pic.twitter.com/iPY3K8sk1b

Even though it took a few hours to get his reply, she finally knew her friend was safe.

What a miracle social media is during a crisis!

@Simmo198133 @nathanlamb26 @RileyBlackery Never fails to amaze me how kind we are as a nation. Always pull together.
