[Xiphos]

FFS NO

 

[Tanzeylee]

It's looking like a suicide bomber

 

[Blue Smarties]

Fucking dirty cunts.

 

[Clercqs]

If they already can confirm fatalities then it must be very serious. Prayers to everyone hurt and their families.

 

[Magicpole]

It was some kind of explosion. Awful

 

[Plain Speaking]

It's being reported on the BBC news channelat the moment, loud bang seems to have caused panic as people were leaving. Police saying a number of people have died.

Explosion means things blowing up - as in:

explosion:

1. 1.
   a violent shattering or blowing apart of something, as is caused by a bomb.
   "three explosions damaged buildings at the barracks"
   synonyms: detonation, discharge, eruption, blowing up, ignition;
   
   Witnesses said they heard loud bang not an explosion. Some said it sounded "like" an explosion.

OFFS stop trying to be a SMART ARSE IN TIMES LIKE THIS.THERE ARE FATALITIES !!!!

 

[davymcfc]

Fatalities. I hope this is a low figure. Could it be caused by the stampede or a direct result of the explosion?

 

[Magicpole]

Jesus Christ, guy talking about blast and bodies.

 

[mat]

Please don't be what I think it is.
:(

 

[bumbleblue]

Oh no . So sad was hoping a balloon had popped next to a speaker or something.

 

[Magicpole]

Guy on niw describing the scene

"20 or 30 people"

 

[bobmcfc]

There has been deaths. Personally, i think it's from the stampede in panic.

I think the fact there was an explosion point to the deaths being related to an explosion

 

[oakiecokie]

Witnessess now saying 2 large bangs coming from the Bar Areas.
