Pray for Manchester

[brexitstolemyfuture]

Explosion reported in Manchester area, hopefully it's nothing

Let's ignore valfane

Can't believe the sniping and nit picking going on here!
My friends were there and saw what happened.
They were terrified for their lives.
Multiple fatalities and injuries, lots of young kids.
Absolutely horrendous.

Sentimental hysteria?
Words fail me.

Whatever has caused it, people have died.

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

Bloody shame on you and some of the other 'blase' posts from some pompus twats. I rarely swear but ffs give your head a wobble instead of trying to act like you're somehow 'superior' to an OP who is obviously worried, and what is now coming out with massive egg on your faces that it's very much looking like another terrorist attack with horrific pictures of injured people and witness accounts.

It's very much looking like it was somewhere between the station and the arena. This isn't looking like an accident :(

Who the fuck targets an event with young children attending?!

Have a guess

Very sad. Thoughts and love and prayers for those poor people and their families.

gingham please. That's not helpful.

Other thread is saying it was from the box office area

Judging by the video footage the stampede could have caused fatalities in itself. Sky/BCC painfully slow updating.

I haven't heard of this artist but my dds obviously have.

If it's a terrorist attack which it looks like then arnt they utter utter cowards to attack little girls like this but that's their MO isn't it!

Thoughts and prayers for all tonight xxx

No possibly not .I apologise.

Sounds like the majority of fatalities/injuries might be due to crushing/panic and blocked exits

"It was one bang and essentially everyone from the other side of the arena where the bang was heard from suddenly came running towards us as they were trying to exit Trinity Way and that was blocked so everyone was just running to any exit they could find as quickly as they could."

Link to other, longer running, nicer named thread

soooo... a horrendous explosion and people have died, and some people on here are picking at the OP's thread title?! Christ alive. Shame on you.

Apparently a lot of children have been separated from their parents but a centre has been set up for them in the Holiday Inn.

Oh my - at an event aimed at little girls. Sick.

22 fatalities

Has it been confirmed that it was a deliberate attack? BBC World News is suggesting a tragic accident with a giant helium balloon and a stampede.

Either way, my thoughts are with everyone involved, but it's not right to start speculating and hinting if nothing is confirmed.

Why would the trains be closed though? Sounds like a
Explosion on the line that impacted onto the venue.

The explosion was huge

Dianneabbottsmathsteacher - Manchester Victoria is next door to the Arena, so it's probably closed as a precaution

I agree it's not right to speculate but to ridicule??? and come on, explosions in a packed venue who wouldn't assume terrorism? but to ridicule the OP is beyond the pale and I really hope those are suitably ashamed.

Thoughts and prayers to those involved xx

'It's not right to start speculating and hinting if nothing is confirmed.' Absolutely. It just makes you look ghoulish.
