StefanAVFC Posted May 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) The Metrolink signs aren't red.... It may be that they haven't updated the colour scheme in the arena, as it's fairly old, but it would be odd to not change them.

VillaChris Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 For those that don't know the MEN the arena is directly above the train station. It's a bit like if the NIA here was above Grand central. To exit you come out, go down a flight of stairs and then you're got a big concourse where the train and tram platforms are. Looks like some explosive was planted somehow and it got people on the way out causing carnage. Can only see the number of casualties rising I'm afraid overnight considering there would've been thousands inside the arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'm trying to not mark this as terrorism related (although it looks very likely the more minutes passed) but someone on another forum just pointed out today was the 4th anniversary of Lee Rigby being murdered. Does seem to be a recent addition to the nutjobs wanting to do another attack on the same date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sounds on the video do sound muffled, but that could be because the bombs were outside of the arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted May 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yep looking more and more like an bomb. Just have to hope that that guy's tweet about deaths is wrong. This is chilling. I was there really not long ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) i hope the NBC report of 20 dead and hundreds injured is well wide of the mark. Edited May 22, 2017 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) no idea on the origin of the pic was just posting a link to the image being discussed. It was on twitter within a few mins of this happening, seemed to be dismissed as fake straight away but resurfaced again an hour later after the fatalities were confirmed. The sun have got someone there taking photos of the injured... Edited May 22, 2017 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Yeah, social media is a mess. I logged off 10 minutes ago when some guy started posting pictures of ISIS stuff. BBC News for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
