Current Affairs Manchester Arena

Great, now the BBC anchor is asking this guy about what kind of security screening there may have been around the stadium. He's just begging for wild speculation, which isn't going to help matters at all. So unprofessional.

No idea how legit, clearly big blast. People on redcafe saying they heard it miles away

Ridiculous behaviour, you're right.

Guy on BBC news now saying that he was in the stadium and there was a number of bodies scattered around after the explosion. So sad.

The guy sounded like he was from L'pool to me, hope no one from this forum was affected by it.
Wish people from anywhere would not be affected by this kind of stuff.
Women and kids..?

This is the problem with 24 hour news, they have to blah it because no-one knows whats going on 99% of the time. After the helicopter crash in Vauxhall, Sky spent at least an hour suggesting that it might have been terror related because MI6 were based nearby.

Thankful for that, hope you're ok.

It's appalling, especially as there will undoubtedly be parents watching BBC news who are unable to contact their children/family and they'll be watching some moronic anchor trying to get some poor guy who's just witnessed an explosion to speculate on its cause.

This could have been any kind of explosion, there's nothing to say it is a deliberate attack, so for him to start going on about security - and therefore insinuating it is deliberate - is shameful.

Manchester police look very well organised btw.

 

[Groucho]

Deliberate or not, it's awful.

Probably need to wait for more facts.

But this is a tragedy already, regardless of cause.

Thank God.

Seeing the large light of the blast on that twitter video and the fact that the pictures of the interior of the arena looks ok and we know the trains are out of action. Is it possible that the explosion was at the station or on a train?
