Manchester Arena

Talk of explosions etc. Any word on what's going on?

[Tony Baloney]

Greater Manchester Police have confirmed a number of fatalities. Appears to be an explosion at a concert by Arianna Grande (whoever she is) but apparently full of kids.

Sounds very bad

Seems like a tight explosion too, heard some distance away. Fatalities could be very high if it's as big an explosion as it seems to be.

Horrifying when you consider the casualties are most likely families/ young children at this concert. Most likely the Isis crowd.

[Cunny Funt]

explosions seem to happen around the ticket office which is outside the arena and happened when the crowd were coming after out the concert?

19 confirmed dead around 50 injured. Shocking and crazy world we live in.

Absolutely shocking.

There was an attack in France during the presidential campaign as well. The UK is in the middle of an election. It is an attempt to destabilise the country.
ISIS are losing in Syria so maybe they are picking softer targets . Like kids going to a concert.

Jesus that's bloody awful news to wake up to. Poor things. As for the perpetrators... We all know who they are, don't we.

Probably not. We're pretty small and insignificant on the international stage.

Awful tragedy.  Very little the police can do if some psychopathic sc**bag decides he is willing to die and wants to take people with him indiscriminately
