'It was carnage': Sky News journalist describes what it was like covering the heart of Italy's COVID crisis
Chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay was the first to film inside the epicentre of the world's coronavirus outbreak one year ago.
Filming at hospitals in Bergamo and Cremona, Ramsay's reports revealed the true extent of the pandemic and was a warning of what was to come for the UK.
Here, he describes his experience.
What we were seeing was every worst nightmare we had imagined. It was like a movie. And it was happening right in front of my eyes.
We weren't in the intensive care unit, we weren't inside the hospital, we were in the corridors that lead to the emergency wards. It was carnage.
I won't forget what I saw.
But more, much more, I remember my first thoughts clearly: "Oh my God, we are going to get smashed in the UK. My family and everyone I know is going to get smashed. We have to tell everyone. We have to show everyone, now."
We filmed for probably an hour or so.
Every minute remains with me as we watched people in the last throes of life and staff with a wide-eyed look of disbelief attempting to save lives and trying to control their own panic.
