I strongly suspect it is a real pic tbh.. especially as there are now reports of an explosion in the lobby area!
Big enough ones can make quite a bang but never heard of anyone being killed by one though. Blown ear drums.
You do know that's precaution right, incase there ARE bombs involved?
Seriously... think!
The deaths were caused by mass hysteria and people being trampled, crushed... Said this already.
Seems Tommy Robinson is too
It would be standard practice to call in the bomb squad to an unknown explosion incident. Doesn't prove anything. Though can't imagine a ballon caused all this.

There are certainly armed police about
I live about a mile away on the other side of the city center but didn't hear the explosion
Sill constant sirens though
Seen a few pictures and videos of the injured on twitter and facebook
Thoughts with those involved it is a very very sad day for the city. Especially at a concert with hundreds of children attending...

Yeah, I've seen them on Twitter . I'm just watching Sky News and they are just showing normal police in yellow jackets.

On the anniversary of Lee Rigby's brutal murder too. Hmmm, I wonder who could be behind this atrocity?
The reports from people there are saying an explosion, not a balloon.
Haven't made my way through everyone's theories yet... but thanks.
It seems the BTP have only confirmed reports of an explosion in the lobby.

Transformer wouldnt blow people to pieces and as far as 30ft....
That may be the case but the image of a bomb disposal van isn't confirmation of anything.

This witness on the BBC, if he is legitimate then the explosion directly caused deaths.
quick google for training exercise gives this re: the Trafford centre... not the arena

that might be the training exercise people are mentioning - the pic from twitter doesn't appear to have been from that location
