Manchester Bombing *** Please remain respectful and refrain from antagonising posts ***

[V F]

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

Its easy to criticise on a forum.

Having seen some pics...providing they are legit ofcourse then that absolutely is not a speaker. Ffs!

I hope everyone is ok.

I'm about 8-10 miles away, and there was a bang of some sort about 15 minutes ago. I've got all the Windows open. Constant sound of sirens of emergency services heading down the A6 in some hurry.

 

[Uther]

So many ambulances on the way there.
I hope those twitter pics are fake.

The photo of the carnage through a couple of doors is supposedly a fake.

Why do people do that? *****!

 

[Nitefly]

Why would anyone fake that :/

 

[Caged]

Because lots of people are bells

Also, I'm not far away (20 mins) so if anyone is desperate for a lift home I can take you.

I live in GQ less than 100m from the Arena. We heard the bang. Emergency services, including helicopters, everywhere.

As it came after the show, hopefully it's a firework malfunction or an electrical issue and nothing more serious. As for the idiots posting images on Twitter (if they are indeed fake), hopefully they'll get a knock at the door over the next few days.

This. Massive attention seeking morons.

How many does the arena hold? 15k? Surely theyd be footage/pics online by now.

I've seen 17k+ in there for the Ice Hockey a few years ago...

Fill the floor and it's 20k probably.

Happened after the encore finished.

There is a video here of people getting out -

Nothing nsfw in it though.

 

[mattyg]

GMP now saying a serious incident

 

[antonusklesk]

Few more Twitter folk saying it was an electrical failure like a transformer exploding rather than anything sinister. Hopefully correct and no injuries.

apparently bomb went off in the box office as people were leaving
