The teenager has told The Sun she almost suffered the same tragic fate as her mother.  

Charlotte explained that she only survived the blast because she misread a text from her mum.

“I read the text wrong. If I’d have gone to the right door, I might not be here now. But I took a door on the left instead,” she recounts.

The teenager recalled the terrifying moment the explosion rang out at the arena.

“I was walking out, a massive bang went off and the entire arena shook. I knew people were dead,” she recounts. “I was ringing and ringing my mum, hoping she’d been knocked unconscious and she might wake up and answer — but she never did.”

Wendy Fawell—was a beloved primary school teacher—was killed in the foyer of Manchester Arena.

Charlotte hit back at bomber Salman Abedi, saying: “How would you feel if you were my age and you had no mum? She promised to be here forever and now she isn’t — because of you.”

The terror attacks have been described as the worst in the past decade in the UK and have claimed the lives of 22 people.
