kairparavel Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Grim news from Manchester. Absolutely no information on the cause of the explosion. My thoughts are with the victims and families and friends. I imagine a lot of young people to have been in the crowd. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-40007886?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_breaking&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=news_central Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Shit. I don't think any of my friends and family would go to an Ariana Grande concert but I think I'd better call my dad to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 My daughter was at this concert tonight. She called me and she's OK, but fair warning, if anyone has any half-assed ill-informed opinions to offer about this incident I will jump on them from a huge fucking height. No gossip, no rumours, no speculation, please, not 'til I get my girl back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 CNN - explosion was outside the arena, near a box office, near a train station that runs near the arena? Or right to the arena? Maybe someone knows the Manchester site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the bomber waited until the end of the concert and blew up the bomb as the crowds were rushing out. May he burn in hell. CNN is reporting the police believe they have already identified the bomber, from CCTV, I think. They will likely have a name by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I am so happy your daughter is safe, Mormont, and so sad for those who have died. I am grinding my teeth at the thought of someone targeting a concert that would likely be attended by young girls and teens. It is all so surreal, I am sitting here surrounded by the sounds of detonations. It is Victoria Day in Canada, we celebrate the queen who ruled when Canada was created with fireworks.

Iskaral Pust Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 @mormont so glad your daughter is ok. That must be a sickening, terrifying experience for a parent. And my heart goes out to all the other parents waiting for calls from kids tonight, some of whom will receive devastating news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
