Re: Reports of 'explosion' at Manchester Arena and Fatalities
Certain idiots were just standing there in the middle of an area with people running past them trying to get away. They seemed to be videoing it and getting in the way.

Re: Reports of 'explosion' at Manchester Arena and Fatalities
Video of armed police surrounding a vehicle and arresting the occupant. Details still awaited. Could easily be wrong place at the wrong time.
Cordon expanded again. Hopefully just precautions.
CBS are reporting children amongst the fatalities though... Speechless at this point.
Second device possibly found. Very similar to the Russian Metro setup.

It will be mainly children in the audience as the performer is popular on the Nickelodeon children's channel.
Is this a new low?

Just woke up this morning to this utterly appalling news and my thoughts and condolences go out to those who have lost loved ones in this terrible outrage.

Re: Manchester Arena Terror Attack: 19 Dead : 50+ Injured
Awful, they targeted it towards children.
I saw this on the Guardian liveblog:
Quote:
Throughout the night relatives have arrived to see if their loved ones are here. Some have found them. Others get back in their car or taxi and check the next hospital.

I wonder if this is relevant at all?

Re: Manchester Arena Terror Attack: 19 Dead : 50+ Injured
Nice to see how people in Manchester reacted. Hotels. bars and peoples' homes opening their doors to accommodate those stuck in the city and to have access to phones. Taxi drivers mobilising to give free rides to people out of the area. There was a NHS conference in the city and they offered to help at local hospitals.

Terrible, terrible news - poor kids (and their families).
So proud of the people of Manchester's response to this - putting people up, giving food and drink to people stuck there, and also to the Emergency Services for all their work.
