May 22, 20179 yr 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. Its a 28k venue at maximum capacity. Still a shit load of people in one place but not quite 40k
May 22, 20179 yr Bbc have a witness on called Karen ford, they've played the interview a few times now. She said that she's home and lives in Sheffield. That's some distance to travel.
May 22, 20179 yr North west counter terrorism unit treating it as a possible terrorist incident I'd imagine it's highly unlikely to be anything else now
May 22, 20179 yr Happened two and a half hours ago now mind She's on twitter @karengsg Looks like the Beeb got hold of her from her reading her tweets.
May 22, 20179 yr It shows the scale when the ambulance service say don't contact them unless its life threatening
May 23, 20179 yr Officers carrying out a precautionary controlled explosion in Cathedral Garden confirm that it was abandoned clothing, not a suspicious item
May 23, 20179 yr It takes a special type of sick cowardly fuck to do this in a place that's going to be full of kids RIP Edited May 23, 20179 yr by deane koontz
May 23, 20179 yr What a story to wake up to. Absolutely heartbreaking. I don't even want to switch on the TV and see the pictures.....
May 23, 20179 yr Feeling a different type of sadness, despair and anger after this. To target what is essentially a kids concert. Unbelievable.
May 23, 20179 yr All terrorism is cowardly but a kids concert is so far below the belt it's lower than a snakes stomach. Let's not pussyfoot around and be all p.c, this will be a filthy Muslim fanatic. I'm in no way tarring all with the same brush but it's about time they got fingered by their own as having radical tendencies. Families and friends must have their suspicions of some of the twisted, Stone Age fooks
May 23, 20179 yr Author This is far far too close to home. I'd imagine everyone on here has been to the arena at some point (I was there 2 weeks ago) and know the place very well. Nowhere is safe from these cunts
May 23, 20179 yr Just had to tell my little girl that there are bombs going off in her hometown. World is fucked. Proper fucked
