What's the transport situation at the moment? Are the trains all shut down?
Manchester Arena Bombing 22.05.17
- Thread starter VeevaVee
- Start date
What the feck is happening.
All those people seen running down the stairs will have left via the foyer.
Yeah the station is connected to the arena
Well there's going to be an abundance of CCTV at a venue like this, so if someone has walked in and left a bag the counter-terrorist officers will in all likelihood know by now.
Trains, trams and busses apparently all out of service.
The station is basically attached to one side, it's under the same roof but not under the stadium itself.
The only thing I'm aware of being under the actual stadium is a karting track.
Can't believe this. BBC now saying fatalities are estimated in double figures. 
Gotcha. I'll have to look through the previous posts to see if it's what I saw.
Yes, that must be what I was looking at.
ABC reported that people in the area could feel the blast. That's a big'un if you can feel that.

Yup, it's the timing (as is being reported) that makes me think this is a terrorist attack.I'm fearing the worst here. From what I understand, the explosion took place near the foyer area just after the concert ended.. Just seems too coincidental for it to be an accident.
You would like to hope so...
Wtf is going on
I know! I was just reading online that the film director Zack Snyders 20 yr old daughter has committed suicide in March and he has left the Justice League film with Joss Whedon taking over, then this drops..!
Hope the gunman thing is nothing too..
This could be an ongoing attack guys. Be careful
Yeah
and puts everything in to perspective I hope
U worry about other bombs been placed in the vicinity. It's the way these terrorists operate
Thanks.
Nail bomb apparently.
I thought the trains actually ran under the areana?
Oldham Hospital is miles away, would seem odd to be connected.
Horrible news, poor kids.Oldham Council have just tweeted they've not heard anything re. gunman at the hospital so hopefully that's just bollocks.
Nope, the station is next to it.
You basically leave the stadium through the station. On that side at least.
I read a car bomb. Is that premature?
Can we stop giving that cnut on twitter the time of day please.
Any source on this?
Police confirm they're treating the incident as terror related.
It's being treated as a possible terrorist incident but not confirmed.
This is awful. Parents must be worried crazy right now.
The images of the parents waiting as all the people run past screaming is heartbreaking
Guess it's the same as the Paris attacks, to stretch resources (if true).
Ah ok my mistake then. Thanks.
Manchester centre and buildings are riddled with CCTV
That is one very weird bloke...has to be to make such comments.
"Possible" terror
The images of the parents waiting as all the people run past screaming is heartbreaking
One woman posted it on twitter, but oldham council debunked it and said they've heard nothing about it.
