:08:42. > :08:44.the Wiltshire coroner said there had been a systemic failure
:08:45. > :09:05.by the MoD to train troops to spot Camp Bastian, a relatively safe
:09:06. > :09:08.haven for soldiers. But it was here were two young privates perhshed
:09:09. > :09:16.when the time they were sledping in caught fire on Valentine's Day in
:09:17. > :09:23.2011. Dean was described as his friends as the centre of thd
:09:24. > :09:28.troop's morale. Dean was a soldier and we will always be immensely
:09:29. > :09:34.proud of him and the fact hd served his country. But we feel he should
:09:35. > :09:45.never have lost his life in the way that he did. We are pleased that the
:09:46. > :09:51.coroner's conclusion reflects the Army's incompetence in not carrying
:09:52. > :09:59.out the correct procedures to ensure Dean's safety. Known to his friends
:10:00. > :10:04.as Woody, Rob also died in ` fire. Both men had slept on camp beds
:10:05. > :10:11.while on a night shift inside the tent. Another colleague went to be
:10:12. > :10:19.thick black smoke inside and was able to escape. Plugged into an
:10:20. > :10:23.extension lead inside, therd had been a boiler, a TV and chiller
:10:24. > :10:27.Cabinet running that night. The inquest heard that they had
:10:28. > :10:31.overlooked the extension le`d and started the fire. There was nothing
:10:32. > :10:41.to warn the men sleeping inside The coroner said:
:10:42. > :10:49.The fact the smoke detector wasn't working mental mode `` meant both
:10:50. > :10:55.men had no warning. The onlx entrance to the tent was engulfed by

:20:54. > :20:57.crisis on the Somerset Levels earlier this year. He will be one of

:21:03. > :21:10.here, floating cars out and sandbagging, but the water hs deeper

:23:17. > :23:22.risk, it has to be risky in itself. It has been a fascinating thing to
:23:23. > :23:26.get into. These free running techniques have mainly been taught
:23:27. > :23:35.during rehearsals made famots through adverts in film, it is
:23:36. > :23:49.thought to be a theatrical debut. This gives you an idea of the height

:24:04. > :24:10.experience of being in a crowd, but also, a very solitary experhence
:24:11. > :24:14.because of the headphones. The audience are directly connected with
:24:15. > :24:20.the performers. While most dyes will be on the acts on stage, thd
:24:21. > :24:28.crowd's reaction is also vital, with a three week stay at the National

:25:14. > :25:18.Having said all of that, we could still see storms about. Eventually,
