frank_spencer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Of course, only relaying it, noted it was still unconfirmedWasn't a dig at you. Just concern that there's still no information from the police. Especially in the age of social media gossip can gain traction very quickly.

Morizio Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The police probably still don't know for definite what the fuck has happened. Ensuring the area is safe, treating casualties and identifying the dead will be the initial priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Done 50-60 shifts in there and its not a place I'd relish evacuating from quickly especially as it looks like its a seated floor too. What an awful situation this is, going off what the caller on BBC News said, this could end up being an absolute disaster. Just kids at a gig for fucks sake.

MalcolmW Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Didn't hear that, what was said? He was waiting for his wife and daughter and stood outside an inner set of swing doors, and was blown 30 feet to the next set of doors (I think).

Morizio Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 On the bbc says police are setting up a casualty bureau. That's not good, this is going to be horrendous. Children's concert as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Really shows up how ill informed news people are when they talk about a city you're familiar with. Total confusion for ages on both Sky and BBC about how close Arena is to Victoria, it's attached to it ffs. Somewhere else saying there'd be 30-40k in the Arena tonight as well, come on. Seeing a lot of reports about people opening their doors to anyone lost/stranded tonight. Fine gestures those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
