Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

[Dreadzone]

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.

This!^

It will, we'll make sure it does.

Please don't speculate at this stage, its clearly very serious, but lets stay respectful.

I know how you feel mate, kids and women enjoying a night out. This is fucking awful.

I'm really hoping that this isn't a terrorist attack.

I took a few families on my train up there too who asked for directions to get to the arena. I hope they are all safe.

Seeing the video of the kids legging it out and loads of worried parents standing and waiting to find theirs won't leave me.

Can't believe this has happened in Manchester and at an event full of women and kids.

Sickening.

 

[chestervegasblue]

Horrific. Just horrific. Feeling the shock and anger right now, but praying that grieving Mancs don't retaliate in their neighbourhoods.
