Manchester Arena Bombing 22.05.17

Anyone think it could be a bomb on a train underneath the Arena?
 
Deaths could be from crushing? Seems like people screaming and panicking like that can't be a good thing.

Obviously the explosion was more than a balloon to be heard from miles away, hope it's just a very unfortunate accident.
 
'I think what the injuries have come from is people trying to get out as quickly as possible'
Eyewitness Josh Elliot told the BBC he had seen a "guy covered in blood".

He said: "There was also a woman outside who looked like she had been hurt, she was on the floor."

He added: "I think what the injuries have come from is people trying to get out as quickly as possible."

He said that "massive" balloons had come down into the arena during one of Grande's songs.

"My initial reaction was for me and my friends to get on the floor," he said. "I thought it was probably just a balloon, but at the same time in situations like this you just don't know what it is and it's better to be safe than sorry."

So fecked, horrible news. There's so many kids there too :(
 
Guy on BBC news was there, thinks there's potentially 20-30 young fatalities. Blew him 30 feet off his feet through doors.

Hopefully not as bad as it currently seems.

Yeah, that guy doesn't paint a good picture. Sounds awful

What? Holy shit. I hope hes exaggerating.
 
Over an hour ago and such little confirmed news

Dunno if that's really a bad thing or,not
 
Lots of injuries. All have looked like they could be from a stampede so far. Not to say that both an explosion and a stampede couldn't have happened.

 
If anyone wants it

Guy on BBC News said it happened by the box office.
 
Any chance of a summary?
Explosion by the box office, not in the actual arena

Quite a few dead including kids

Guy was waiting for his kids to come out and saw it and saw bodies (his kids are okay).
 
Seen a new picture on a Facebook comment. It's a picture of a picture on a phone. Won't share as it could be another bullshit one.

Just saw it. If its true then nobody in that area stood a chance :(
 
This guy on BBC keeps saying it's confirmed the fatalities were caused by the explosion
 
Jesus christ it feels so surreal when it's so close to home. Praying that death toll does not rise.
 
Surely if it was balloons people would know that it was those that caused the explosion?
