Explosion at MEN Arena/Victoria Station

[bluethrunthru]

armed police have dragged someone out of a car at gun point not sure where it is from the video but looks like possibly regant Rd way

TBH par for the course - Police will be jumpy and responding to a number of alerts. I was in Palma Nova a few years ago when a member of the Guarda Civil was car bombed and sadly killed and for the next couple of days there were cars screeching around and armed cops jumping out and legging it into buildings before calmly leaving a few minutes later.

Do bomb disposal unit arrive as a pro-caution or does it definitely mean it's not over?

They will attend anything like this, its unlikely, but not impossible, there would be another, but they need to to check the venue completely.

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. Absolutely devastated by this in our city

I was going to say, entrances and walkways are a security and H/S focus, so I'd imagine it was someone with access, or someone who found their way into a 'secure' area - making it easy to spot them on CCTV.

It wasn't that, but it was pretty much as bad as that, thankfully it was spotted before most people saw it.

Good. There are families who will have lost their kids. We have to show respect for their torment right now.

Looking at the tweets of relatives and friends of the missing kids is killing me.

Anyone can walk into the lobby/box office at the Arena, unfortunately.
