There are stories of a Transformer exploding in the roof space

Possible. No walls falling down on that video. Bombs tend to do that. Big flash though which could line up with something electrical. Sounded nasty though whatever it was. Lets hope for good news eh?

Really depends on the explosive type and amount used. A small amount with nails or similar would create a lot of wounds in a packed area.


Just heard on TV they think it was a nail bomb.

I love my city - can't actually express any more at this point....

Unbelievable religious terrorist cowards targeting a children's pop concert.

When they find these people they should be lined up and shot and save the legal fees.

Whoever was involved in this are utter cunts.

Bad idea. Remember the Birmingham Six, people locked up just because they were Irish?

Just because some people are being idiots and killing the wrong people, doesn't mean we have to start being idiots too.

Some children now confirmed dead
fuck religion

But "terrorism is just part and parcel of living in a major city" isn't it? 

Stop trying to score political points at a time like this.  He never even said it FFS.  http://the-orator.co.uk/2017/03/sadiq-khan-part-and-parcel-remarks-are-fake-news/

What he actually said was "part and parcel of living in a great, global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police”.

Absolutely Terrible. Young children specifically targeted, total evil.

Stop being a twat.

A reactionary response that abandons the rules of law and ignores reason is exactly what they want.

Before this thread turns into the usual egotistical bun fight, just wanted to get in and say what aweful news to wake up to, a new low as others have said.

Saw this last night and I was there just a few months back watching steel panther. Could very easily be any one of us these days. RIP those poor souls.

Jesus christ. Absolutely unbelievable.

I'm sure like many others here, Manchester arena is the closest arena to me. I've lost count of the times I have been there. Staff have always been great and the city is one I love. 

I remember going to watch a gig (velvet revolver I think ) the day after dimebag died and the security did everything they could to make sure it was safe and that no one had to wait too long. 

I just don't have a bad word to say about the place, and it's heartbreaking for families to go out and not come home
