G M PoliceVerified account @gmpolice 18m18 minutes agoPolice responded to reports of an incident at Manchester Arena. Please stay away from the area. More details to follow....
Looking at the video clips it doesn't look like a bomb went off, speakers exploding makes more senseLooks like tommy Robinson is going to have a late night
There is a fake photo doing the rounds which was originally said to be of the arena showing something quite grim. Ignore or report as and when you see it.
there some pictures floating around which make it look like its in the train station which adjoins the MEN. but to me that doesnt look like the victoria train station...
Got a mate whose saying it's definatly the MEN?100% sure it's fake mate?
Lots of ambulances in attendance looking at the news
Crap, Manchester Police saying it's a serious incident. Hope people are ok.
This journalist says he saw people leaving covered in blood and that he heard the explosion from his house just down the road.If people heard it from across the street, can a heavy duty speaker blowing out actually be that loud?
Pete Wylie has just tweeted that a transformer near the roof has exploded and injuries caused by falling sparks/metal. He wouldn't be the sort to pass on shite info.
Jack Murphy @JackDMurphyA friend works in A&E - huge balloons filled with gas popped & there was a stampede because everyone thought it was a bomb! #ManchesterArena
What kind of grade A c*nt does that.
Literally the biggest problem with Twitter is that people will do near enough anything for a post that gets 100 likes or RTs, regardless of the cost.
It must be a bomb, fuck this is awful
Dash cam video, you can see/hear the explosion about 7 seconds in: https://twitter.com/JoeAaronGregory/status/866784565821677569
