There's another thread on this subject. Reports of possible technical issues at a concert. Hope that people are safe tonight.

brexitstolemyfuture · 22/05/2017 23:23

Ah sorry, hopefully Ariana Grande and everyone else is ok

Wolfiefan · 22/05/2017 23:24

Hope so. Limited details as yet.

valfane · 22/05/2017 23:27

Oh FFS! What does that even mean?

brexitstolemyfuture · 22/05/2017 23:27

Still can't find the other thread, but the station next door has apparently been closed

What does what mean val? Confused

brexitstolemyfuture · 22/05/2017 23:30

Eye witness on LBC claims to have seen a trail of blood and the explosion shock the venue. Obviously it's just one eye witness that's shook up so hopefully it isn't that bad

We don't even know what's happened yet. Hopefully it will only be a technical fault rather than a terror attack which is what the thread title implies

ComingUpTrumps · 22/05/2017 23:30

Apparently the explosion was part of Ariana Grande's show. They're not sure yet though.

ComingUpTrumps · 22/05/2017 23:31

Shit brexit Shock

Rinoachicken · 22/05/2017 23:31

It was a speaker apparently.

Zubba · 22/05/2017 23:33

The blood video has been called out as a fake!! It was a balloon apparently, someone has been on stage to confirm it was a balloon.

ComingUpTrumps · 22/05/2017 23:33

Ooh phew Rinoa

brexitstolemyfuture · 22/05/2017 23:33

A source for the speaker explosion? I'm worried that even if it was nothing some may have been hurt in the stampede that seems to have happened :(

Ignoring the stupid thread title, police have confirmed a 'serious incident' would have been a big balloon to be heard outside arena surely?

brexitstolemyfuture · 22/05/2017 23:42

Sorry if you don't like the title but seriously! Manchester police have said it's a serious incident and billboard have tweeted that Ariana Grande is ok.

Oh shit Telegraph has pictures of injured people coming from arena Shock

And sorry OP but the thread title is a bit Hmm

user1491572121 · 22/05/2017 23:44

why do you keep mentioning Ariana Grande? Wouldn't you be more concerned for the thousands of little girls and their families there?

steff13 · 22/05/2017 23:44

A woman in the article I read (the guardian, maybe) lives near the arena and said her apartment shook.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 22/05/2017 23:44

Don't worry op, it's fine

Some people just enjoy trying to belittle others. It's not worked at all though! Smile

chickpeaburger · 22/05/2017 23:44

"Pray for Manchester" Drives me mad all this jumping on the bandwagon. What do you even mean OP??

ComingUpTrumps · 22/05/2017 23:46

Anyway forget about silly thread title. Anyone know any further information? I hope everyone's okay FlowersFlowers

BillSykesDog · 22/05/2017 23:48

Confirmed a number of fatalities. Fucks sake.
