Manchester Arena Bombing 22.05.17

[VeevaVee]

Edited title as it was uncomfortable to see bumped for some, with news coming about inquiries etc.


Reports of an explosion at Manchester Arena after Ariana Grande concert.

All over Twitter.
A friend heard it from her flat in Castlefield 15 minutes away.

Hopefully not as serious as it sounds.

Ah feck you just instantly think the worst. Hopefully it's something accidental and everyone got out unscathed.

Witnesses on social media have reported hearing a “massive bang” before crowds fled the venue.

Varied reports have suggested the explosion could have been caused by a speaker or a balloon, while some suggested a gun had gone off.

Witnesses have reported police swarming at the scene as video footage shows crowds rushing from the scene.

The sun suggesting it could be not serious

Hopefully just a loud noise and a rush to get out with no one majorly hurt.

Immediately tried to edit the title to add 'Potential' but don't think I can. Edit: done it

Doesn't look particularly bad there? Must've been more than a balloon for it to be heard all over Manchester though

Another mate saying he can hear 'wave after wave of sirens'.

 

[Unlikely lad]

My mates around the city/in Castlefield heard it, apparently. Can't have been that minor if the sound travelled that far.

 

[P-Nut]

I'm literally sat around the corner from this in work.

Latest thing is that it's supposedly a car bomb

Hopefully this is nothing sinister. The video above looks like the interior of the arena is undamaged.

Huge police presence according to those exiting the arena.

Did you hear it?

Hoping the lack of info is a good sign...

 

[Carlsen19]

Just seen a picture on twitter that doesn't look good at all, hopefully it's fake and not from the arena (I've never been so wouldn't know if it's legit).

 

[Dante]

I can hear the sirens from my flat, but I didn't hear the explosion itself. Hope it's not too bad.

 

[P-Nut]

Did you hear it?

No but my depot is loud as feck with noise. I've got to drive straight past the arena as soon as possible but it's absolutely rammed.

 

[VeevaVee]

Not sure if this guy's a wum as he's one of the only people saying stuff this bad

That's the picture I was referring to. Can anyone confirm this is definitely the arena?

What kind of bastard do you have to be to start spreading that. Unreal.

Here's hoping for no casualties.

The Metrolink logo is yellow and silver these days. That's a years old fake.

No chance at all that this was a gas explosion?
