Ariana Grande performed and apparently they went off. could have course be anything but many reporting they sounded like explosions.

Saying it could be a blown speaker.

Sad indictment of the world we are living in. One loud bang and everyone totally craps themselves.

 

[MagicBoy]

Is it a strange co-incidence that I'm hearing a lot of sirens?

 

[Nitefly]

Hopefully everyone is OK

 

[robfosters]

You think they would know quickly though if it is a speaker without all the police needed.

Twitter says theres blood everywhere aswell....i bloody hope its something innocent.

Twitter video with a lot of ambulances on the way to the arena that's not normal for a false alarm.

Police telling people to stay away from the area...

What could it be that's innocent?

I don't think it'd be a speaker - they don't tend to fail with a bang.
An amplifier could - a capacitor or MOSFET can go with a right pop - but they wouldn't be in a place exposed to the public.

I hope everyone involved is OK.

 

[robfosters]

Stopped all the trains out of Manchester now.

Pretty sure you can make a louder sound with an arena full of speaker hangs than by blowing up an amplifier.

Picture shows the taxi area in twitter not clear what the picture is of but states no casualties.

I think I've just seen the same photo. That's a bomb.

The responses to that Twitter photo say that's a fake picture circulating...
