Explosion confirmed by police. Doesn't sound like a speaker.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 22/05/2017 23:51

Pray for Manchester was correct then....Sad

Zubba · 22/05/2017 23:51

Stop nitpicking at the thread title!! Completely inconsequential right now. Unbelievable.

BillSykesDog · 22/05/2017 23:52

'A number of fatalities'. GMP

rightsaidfrederickII · 22/05/2017 23:52

There are "a number of confirmed fatalities" Sad www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-arena-explosion-evacuated-ariana-13075807

BillSykesDog · 22/05/2017 23:53

Eyewitness on BBC says it was strong enough to knock him off his feet and make his ears ring.

He says 20-30 fatalities he saw. If correct this sounds like terrorism. He says a lot were children.

valfane · 22/05/2017 23:54

The BBC haven't confirmed fatalities. You know, it might be better to wait until things become clearer and the facts are confirmed before indulging in sentimental hysteria...

Zubba · 22/05/2017 23:54

Here it is again stated as being a gas filled balloon.

Eyewitness says that it is outside by box office in an area hard for emergency services to access due to stairs.

CostaCoffeeRoyalty · 22/05/2017 23:55

GMP have confirmed fatalities :(

MrsABrown72 · 22/05/2017 23:55

It is true- on LBC now.
Awful.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 22/05/2017 23:55

What was it tho? No smoke for a bomb?

Thoughts with those poor people

Dd is a few miles away at uni. Her friend lives near the arena and has heard it all. Terrifying

BillSykesDog · 22/05/2017 23:56

The BBC have reported the GMP announcement of multiple fatalities. The police. The BBC. Go and check your facts before you get all sanctimonious at other posters who have actually bothered.

steff13 · 22/05/2017 23:56

The Manchester released a statement confirming fatalities per CNBC.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 22/05/2017 23:56

We don't need the BBC.... there are other sources of equal credibility

SumThucker · 22/05/2017 23:57

GMP have confirmed fatalities, valfane, and your tone throughout the thread is awful.

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 22/05/2017 23:57

This one poster is determined to cause trouble ..
