Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

Having first hand experience recently of how the public combine with Twitter in times of uncertainty and panic to generally create a load of sensationalised bullshit, I implore you all to be vigilant with 'eyewitness reports' and the like. It's not a competition to who can make it sound the worst and it only serves to make future situations worse when people unduly panic.

Best wishes go out to all at the arena and hope everyone who can gets home safely.
 
Guy on the BBC said he was blown off his feet by a large explosion near a ticket office on the outside of the building. He thought there may be 20-30 people injured, some killed. He said area near box office was surrounded by stairs and ambulances were finding it difficult to get to the injured.
 
Absolute fucking nightmare this, sons best mate left just before the explosion luckily he's safe heart goes out to everyone one there
 
It reminds me of the attack at Glasgow airport, my two sons were inside as was my brother with his family. My heart goes out to all waiting for news.
 
If anyone knows anyone whose stranded in town tonight let me know. Got a spare couch two mins from the arena.
 
I feel absolutely sick to the stomach and am shaking with fury.

It's kids at a concert ffs.

In our City.

Chances are this will have impacted users of this forum. A lot of friends of my daughter were there and are thankfully all accounted for, but someone s children aren't coming home tonight.

Hope this thread remains respectful, and RIP to those who have died.
 
Holiday Inn are taking kids in who are not with their parents, worth letting people know so they use that meeting point if needed.
