Awful news. Can only pray that when I wake up tomorrow morning they are reporting as few fatalities as possible. I heard about an hour ago but didn't expect to see there had been deaths next time I checked

No doubt he's massively exaggerating, but usually by now if it was a proper bomb there would be images of the dead or serious injuries. So far all it seems is a few bad cuts, that seems more like debris damage?.
I imagine something's either exploded between the stadium / train station and caused some sort of projectiles to cut people. Some people may have got really unlucky.
fecking shocking being this close to home. Praying for those effected by this.
I live a few miles away but even from here the ambulances and police shot past heading to the city, I can see police copters in the air also.

Anniversary of Lee Rigby (Reddit)
This is awful. I feel sick
So if it's outside I wouldn't think it would be a terrorist attack. Surely a terroist would blow a bomb somewhere near the front to cause a stampede.
Mental. Thoughts are with all those who are affected.
Obviously it matters in terms of what caused this, but...terrorism or not...this is going to be heartbreaking for dozens of families
Washington Post just popped up on my phone - multiple fatalities. Awful stuff
Awful stuffDepends. Houses are more confined and often the roof structure is timber so they would basically either collapse or just blow apart if there was a gas explosion...you'd think the arena would be mostly steel, and it's also more open...but how a gas explosion would happen in a concert arena I'm not sure.
Again what the feck is wrong with people. She was a Disney star so you know is family's taking their children.
terrible news.
Hopefully its wasn't a terrorist attack.

I don't see what else it could be other than terrorism.
Awful witness account on BBC right now.
Far too much speculation. Could be someone left a bomb to coincide with when they thought it would finish. Could be anything.
I really hope the 20 report isn't accurate ffs. Whatever the cause, what a tragedy
I'm not for one minute having it that this guy was flung 30ft
at least 20 dead they are reporting on NBC.
Certainly is looking that way
For feck's sake.
That's true. Just hope it was a terrible unfortunate accident and not planned.
Suppose it's dependant on their intentions. A witness on BBC now stating that it was on the way into the Box office area.
I think he's on BBC now. He didn't say he was flung 30 feet now, so maybe someone just made that bit up.
Witness ringing on BBC news said it happened near the box office near the white doors to go into the arena.
He definitely said it.
He's be in a hospital at the very least if that were true. They don't even fly that far in movies ffs.
What a cnut....
You must have missed it. That was a replay and he 100% said it.
The explosion from someone's dashcam, 7 seconds the building lights up and the explosion can be heard, left of the screen.
Yeah he was exaggerating there a wee bit. Probably in shock though to be fair.
Horrific. Sickening news. My thoughts go out to all of those affected.
Twitter verify any twat these days.

It's accurate
I feel sick looking at twitter posts on the lookout for kids and teenagers who were at the concert.
