Nothing on the news

Agreed.

It's just coming on BBC news 24.

Speakers blown up is the latest rumour

Nothing on the news

It's being reported on Sky News.

Speakers blown up is the latest rumour

At a kiddie concert there is a shit load that could blow up to be fair, hoping that's the case even if's not really a whole lot better for those involved

SKY News are normally on this like a rash so nothing so far.Perhaps and hopefully it was only an electrical fault or something ... fingers crossed.

 

[oakiecokie]

Still only being reported as an "incident" by GMP.Hope to fuck its all OK.

 

[Dogtanian]

Have been told their are casualties, this is not a speaker exploding

Some sick fuck has posted a picture on twater which shows what looks like an explosion with people on the ground. I hope it's fake.

Looking at the photo doing the rounds it's not a speaker

Looks like explosion at main entrance I've seen a picture of bodies on the floor and blood everywhere

 

[Tanzeylee]

Sons mate work there says it's a fucking mess

 

[pride in battle]

Speakers blown up is the latest rumour

No chance, I heard the explosion 2 miles away

 

[TCIB]

A lot of twitter chatter about injuries and a lot of blood from people on the scene, i hope this was an accident and all are ok.

Just got on the the bus after the concert. Definitely 1 explosion like a bomb. If we would have left a minute sooner who knows what would have happened.I'd definitely give anyone you know who went a call. And leave the speculation till morning. Stay safe everyone

Edit- The explosion was where you wait to be let into the concert near McDonald's.

 

[davymcfc]

Sounds serious. Hope everyone is ok.

 

[cucumberman]

Can we clarify this? Are the injuries off a device or stampede or the pictures unrelated altogether?

 

[Magicpole]

This is sounding more ominous. Still saying no injuries on BBC.

I was more thinking about the sheer amount of pyrotechnic crap at these sorts of concerts, but if it's at the entrance that probably rules that out. Hoping for the best but it's not sounding good

There's definitely injuries
