I know it's a real thing that happened but wikipedia is your link?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Why does it say accident in the title. Do we know that is what it was?

 

[dude stannis]

I think it's a genuine bombing. Dogs found more IEDS

The thing is I started reading about it immediately, and wikipedia was the link I was on when I made the OP

Reporters covering it on Twitter suggest the explosion was in the Foyer of the venue, for whatever context that lends.

Just read on the BBC that they aren't sure this is the end, so yeah.

Video footage is confirming it was a nail bomb.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Could a mod fix the title?

 

[MadVillainy]

Damn shame

I've been to that arena on many occasions. And with this being an Ariana Grande concert a lot of kids and teenagers would've been there.

BREAKING NEWS: Reports at least 20 dead and many injured after two explosions in Manchester Arena at the end of Ariana Grande concert

A lot of the fatalities are supposedly under 18. That is just sad. So many kids were at this concert.

Makes sense considering what the concert was.

That wasn't no ****ing accident. Man, I am getting sick of hearing about stuff like this every other day. I know it happens in various parts of the world where we don't hear about it, but just in general.

 

[Wildcard]

I'm speechless...this is absolutely revolting.

No way it was an accident if the reports are to be believed, I actually hope it was some sort of unfortunate accident as opposed to what we are all thinking ie a terror attack..

I mean it's an Ariana Grande concert ffs, the building is going to be filled with kids & under 18's.. not only that but the Manchester Arena is smack in the city centre as well for those that have never been to the city. Absolutely cowardly if it is indeed a terror attack.

Yes, I've been there too. Jeeez

Thoughts are with the victims and their families.

Cant wait to see what sort of stupid remark Trump makes.

 

[Spade]

I will never understand how one justifies intentionally killing children as means to an end.

 

[Krystal]

Means to an "end"

there isn't even an "end." It's just nihilism. They know they can't win and just want to make everybody miserable. Beyond pointless.

The true religious extremists seem to consider their god's "will" to be more important than human life. Its a very ancient mentality. Even the Christian Old Testament has god and his followers wiping out entire groups of people and even their livestock for transgressions. And there is the flood story. Thats the sort of thought processes and morality scale some of these extremists are operating with. Modern religious extremists consider the West in transgression of god and his will and all a part of a corrupt system so our deaths are justified in their minds. Its completely unconscionable.

 

[terry78]

Basically our very existence is an affront to them. You can't reason with that.

Extremists of all sorts need a one way ticket to Pluto.
