    Cougar I appreciate you’ve got your mod head on here but even you must admit it’s looking like what we all think it is. And yes we are only thinking it as it’s not confirmed by a man in a uniform yet, however we all know of the real threat that’s out there.

    It’s not a mod head, it’s a rational head.

    We’re relying on eye witness accounts which are only reliable if corroborated. Someone may well have been thrown 30 feet; equally, they may well be exaggerating, or have entirely made it up. Maybe they were thrown 60 feet? Who knows.

    “We all know the real threat that’s out there” is blatant scaremongering. There’s a million possible causes for an explosion, not all of them are down to brown people with beards and rucksacks. It’s entirely possible that it was a terrorist attack; equally, it could’ve been a faulty boiler.

    Having just listened to that video, he sounds genuine.

    All I’m saying is, don’t jump to conclusions.

    The Oldham Hospital report of an armed man is a god example of Chinese whispers; hospital has gone on ‘lockdown’ as a standard response to local events, that gets misentepreted by someone, who tells someone else, it’s juicy so it’s spread and suddenly there’s armed men outside a hospital.

    To confirm, there isn’t.

    The Oldham Hospital report

    It’s being reported almost precisely nowhere. It’s a one-liner on Reddit, and another one-liner on the Daily Star website based on a couple of Tweets from people having heard a noise.

    Listened to LBC on way home from work .. Speaking to folks that were at the gig .. Doesn’t sound like something accidentally blew up 🙁

    Yeah clearly scaremongering tonight.
    And don’t begin to insinuate I think that way, and/or I have issues with brown people.

    At that I’ll leave it.

    A very sad night however it turns out.

    RIP

    So sad – 19 dead so far and 50 + injured. Some sick bastard has detonated a bomb at a concert attended mainly by young girls. You can’t stoop much lower than that.

    Thoughts with anyone affected by this horrendous tragedy

    My daughter, and her friend, got home 30 mins ago from this.

    It’s horrible.

    Please let’s leave it here and just have thoughts for those that have lost their lives.

    Glad they’re physically okay Withersea, I don’t feel like waking up and reading another sad story connected to STW.

    Go and give them a big hug instead of posting on here!

    Withersea – glad to hear they’re ok – can’t imagine what this evening’s been like for them and you

    BBC saying the police have confirmed it was a bomb.

    Yep, some of the tweets being posted are in very poor taste/vile to say the least, personally I’d take the phones from them and break their fingers so they couldn’t tweet for a while.

    I wonder if the origins of his name “Diego” are lost on him as well…

    Jesus, rather harrowing eye witness account on LBC saying she saw people on the ground with partially missing limbs. It’s just gonna be teenage girls and their mums at that gig, who would want to do that!? RIP those that haven’t made it home tonight 😥

    Just woke up to this 😯

    That’s properly crap, targeting a concert attended by kids. Regardless of the motives, it can NEVER be justified. Even in all-out war it would be a massive no-no!

    I don’t think there’s any situation where bombs like this are justified, irrespective of the age/sex of the intended victims.

    Thoughts with victims, friends and families.
