Manchester Arena incident - many reported dead

I've been wondering if anyone could try a hit outside fortress london. And so they have. What a fucking shit thing to do. And for what...its just shit
 
The Twitter feed is really sad - lots of tweets by family and friends with photos of kids that went to the show that haven't been heard from since. It's inevitable that some of them will have been killed. Fucking awful.
 
From the mobile phone clip I've just seen, posted by CNN, looks like the audience were mainly youngsters. :(

Guy on the news just saying his 12 year old who was there is inconsolable. I'm guessing teens is the average age of arianas following.
 
It was an Ariana Grande gig, of course it was youngsters. She's super talented, but the demographic is very much kids inside, parents waiting outside, both anxious about first gig.

I'll admit I don't know the artist.

From what you describe, this sounds particularly sad.
 
Some of the eyewitness accounts now being properly taken would appear to clarify some of the initial claims and confusion:

Manchester Arena: police confirm 19 dead after explosion at Ariana Grande concert – latest updates
One 16-year-old boy says he and his two friends had come from Lincoln for this evening’s show. They were sat next to the stage when they heard explosions as the performance came to an end. “A lot of people are saying that there were two explosions, but we all heard three,” he says.

It sounded like a gun shot. At first we thought it as a balloon, but then we felt the vibrations and stuff so we realised it wasn’t a balloon. Our parents heard the explosion from [their] hotel.”

A 15-year-old girl tells the Guardian: “There were people falling over the chairs trying to get away and when we were running out we saw blood up the walls.”

Semino’s 17-year-old daughter Natalie and her friends said the performance had just come to an end when the explosion went off. “It went off and then there was a moment’s silence and then there were screams,” says Megan Ryder, 19. They say security guards initially tried to calm them down, saying it was a popped balloon or a technical difficulty.

I can understand security giving this initial response. Stampedes are deadly on their own. Definitely better that security work through facts first.
 
I feel lucky to have lived in a generation without this fear. What a start to adult life for these kids. I can't begin to imagine?

Jesus... :(

What sort of cunts target kids having a good time like this? Pure evil, I can't understand how anyone can justify this to themselves.
