    Seem to be conflicting reports at the moment. Though it is now 2 hours and 15 minutes since the incident that happened at 10:40ish UK time, there is yet to be a confirmation statement from the police about what happened. However, they have confirmed there are fatalities and could potentially reach double figures.

    The concert ended at 10.30 and at 10.40 two loud bangs were reportedly heard. The two conflicting reports at the moment are that is was an intentional explosion or that it was equipment or speakers failure causing the bangs. Either way, fatalities and injuries are believed to be at the moment largely a result of the panicked stampede to escape following the bands. There is confirmation of 19 fatalities and around 50 injured.

    All thoughts are with those who have died or are fighting serious injuries at present and their families!

    PS at this stage, until confirmation of what happened is released, please no sensationalist speculation of a terrorist attack!

    Update:-

    One explosion, although Police have found another bomb in a park nearby. They are carrying out a controlled explosion.

    19 confirmed dead and at least 50 injured.

    And Bunford? Police ARE treating it as a terrorist attack.

    The official line seems to be that they are treating the incident as they would a terrorist incident until they know exactly what has happened according to the Associated Press.

    It is believed at present to have most likely been an intentional explosion in the foyer area of the arena, but there are also witness reports of the bangs/explosion being within the arena bowl and not in the foyer.

    I can't see any reference to a second bomb in a park though, and knowing the arena quite well having been there many times I can't think of any nearby parks either. You got a source for that to add for info for anyone reading, purely because I think any updates like that should be sourced to avoid lighting any touch papers on a sensitive issue and setting off any sensationalist speculation.

    Yeah. I'm watching Sky News. They're always ahead of the Beeb

    The second suspected device was exploded by police at the central garden area. turns out it was nothing thankfully. (somebody had left clothing)

    I know man. It's too late though



    I know you'd never make a joke of this Pink, but it was almost 100% certainly a terrorist. (they think it was a suicide bomber) as people were leaving.

    Take it from the source who should know best:

    Still, I hate what's happening in the world currently. All this hate - wether ultra-left, ultra-right, alt-right, religious fanatists or extremists - just leads to death and pain for no reason. Nobody wins. Oh, and Trump just sold "beautiful" weapons to Saudi Arabia...the next killing wave initiated by USA. Hooray.

    Put the united kingdom flag on your facebooks, pass a furniture polish on your most beautiful flowers, light your candles, take off your white "We are all ostriches" t-shirts from the drawers and go on to make another silent ostrich walk and a big Solidarity in the name of peace and in support of a better world.
    For when a Muslim explodes a bomb, it was only an accident, at most an incident, this was never a Muslim, not a Muslim terrorist, it was just a bomb that was going through
    There bored and resolved to explode itself.

    Heartbreaking, can't believe anyone could do something so horrific to anyone let alone young children and teenagers. A concert should be a happy place and somewhere you can go and feel free, truly sickening.

    So sorry to all the unfortunate people involved and their families.
    Words can't describe the pain they must be experiencing :(
    Appears at this moment in time to be a completly sub-human act.
    If as they suspect just simply despicable in every way possible :snuffy: :sad:

    That's because you think everybody is basically the same as you, sees the world the same way. As if there's no other type of human being on the planet, you were brainwashed to presume in a naive, sanitized & de-souled Star-Trek fashion that the western liberal human is the only kinda human there is or should be.

    This is heartbreaking and horrific, but it's also the reality. The amount of willful blindness and cognitive dissonance experienced when confronted by such events is not small. Reality is heartbreaking and horrific because that western brainwashing was wrong all along. How long until people let go of it and go back to living in reality, drawing conclusions from reality?

    Anyone got any Ariana grando stems laying around, for the timely Dance of Moloch remix?

    How disrespectful and I know there are horrible sick people who could do something like this without a care, I say I can't believe someone could do this as in I'm disappointed these people still exist in the developing and modern world.
