Nail bomb according to an NHS source.

By the McDonald's entrance which I think is right by the station.

Horrendous.

Horrendous.

Would a nail bomb be that loud?

Shocking news. It's looking like a terror attack.

I just find it strange that the Lib Democrat leader has a statement released to the press within 2 hours, when details are scarce, like it was pre-prepared, it just seems wrong.

My Manc mate has just text saying that Oldham Hospital is on lockdown due to a man with a gun.

What's the source?

Some journo on Twitter quoting staff from a local hospital saying their treating multiple casualties with injuries from a nail bomb.

Could be bollocks.

What on earth is going on??

Certainly, its several pounds of explosive. Think how far you can hear fireworks away from, on a quiet night.

I've got nothing to base my fears on, but it's horrible when you can't get hold of people who you suspect may have gone to the concert. Sent a few messages and tried to phone but no reply, no Facebook status updates either. I'm praying that they've not gone and are sleeping through this.

"Up to 20 dead" reported. Sweet Lord.

TBF that probably is bollocks. If a hospital is dealing with loads of victims from a bomb blast, none of the staff who are dealing with them are going to have time to be tweeting anything.

Hope everything is OK, mate.
