defrio29 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 very weird, seems eerily quiet especially since it's been an hour now and still no statement of what happened...hoping its nothing serious and there's no casualties... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcade fireman Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Horrendous It always seems like it's happening somewhere else until it happens close to home. I live 5 mins away and can hear nothing but sirens and police choppers circling ahead. My apartment block backs onto an old disused car park where they're starting building a new apartment block, couple of nights in the last week we heard a loud bang and saw a loud flash late at night, I said to my other half at the time it sounded and looked like someone exploded a bomb out there - should probably go to the police tomorrow as they might have been doing a test run.

H.M.V Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Jesus, we were out in Manchester on Saturday night. Hope people are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billum Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) It seems it could have been a stampede that caused the injuries after a couple of very loud bangs that people thought were explosives Edited May 22, 2017 by billum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) An eyewitness that was just on BBC radio (via their Twitter) thinks it may have been a shooting. A few contradicting reports online. It is scary the world we live in. Edited May 22, 2017 by vintagelaureate Info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defrio29 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 NOT SURE IF THIS IS REAL OR NOT (the timestamp does seems accurate though - apparently it says 9:30 because its not changed to BST yet)... That's a really loud bang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldlady Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 This is terrible news. Obviously we have no idea on what has happened yet, I don't expect we will have a clear outlook on that till morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some suggestions that the deaths are due to crush injuries in the panic. Videos showing folks running out, mostly just kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a parent who's took little ones as well as dropped their teenager off for a gig and waited at the MEN I can't even imagine the utter dread & panic they're all going through.
