You know the cause of the explosion already?
So far no explosive device.  
section125 : 5/22/2017 7:28 pm : link
Think it was a big balloon that popped. Videos do not show and smoke, no flame. Looks like stampede and people trampled.
Very sad.
My home town  
English Alaister : 5/22/2017 7:29 pm : link
there at the weekend to see my cousin. Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims... this is terrible.
There are reports  
Mike in Marin : 5/22/2017 7:29 pm : link
of the explosion that it was in the foyer. And there is video of police throwing someone forcibly in a police car.

Almost definitely terrorism. Possible it was a panic of some kind though.
Some very conflicting reports  
English Alaister : 5/22/2017 7:31 pm : link
Personally I'd be very, very surprised if this was a stampede having heard some of the witness accounts but not leaping to any conclusions as they can be unreliable.
To clarify above  
English Alaister : 5/22/2017 7:33 pm : link
I think bomb and panic rather than balloon and stampede. People are they saying they felt the explosion outside the arena. that's a heck of a blast.

It will have to get a lot worse in the UK and apparently in France, Sweden, Germany, Belgium and Italy, before anyone does much more than just go after networks and perpetrators.

The radicalization in the mosques and the stuff coming out of the mouths of the religious leaders in these countries, is toxic. Meanwhile, they are passing laws to limit and arrest people over the free speech of people criticizing the ideology behind terrorism as "Islamophobia."

One only needs to look at what happened after Charlie Hebdo to see what it will take for people to wake up.
Unrelated in a way:

that is was a nail bomb.

I guess a bomb with shrapnel (ie nails).

its worthwhile noting that in almost every case like this, the explanation of events and perpetrators that we get a few minutes after the event, are proven false when all the facts are know (and later revised).

I would preach patience here.

Also I saw Manchester tube station bomb found reports. A lot of these end up being bogus, obviously.

Preach whatever you want. This event doesn't change the broader, global problem, and the direction the west is heading.

Mike, you should weigh in on football topics. It is, after all, a football message board. It would be a shame if you only had a political stance (especially on such a hot-button topic) to stand on.

knock it off.

It's great to see the early conclusions drawn, outrage reached, and then embarrassment when people realize their comments are here for eternity or until the thread inevitably becomes political and then gets deleted and then only existing on Brett's personal hard drive.

You're ruining it.

I suggest you stick to football topics and not read threads on current events and terrorism if you don't expect to see some posts somewhat political (or religious) related.

Manchester suspected terror incident: what we know so far
Kevin Rawlinson
Here’s a summary of what we know so far after the incident in Manchester this evening:
Police have confirmed that at least 19 people have been killed in a suspected terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
Officers said a further 50 were injured.
One explosion was reported to have hit the foyer of the building at about 10:30pm, British Transport police said.
Manchester Arena said the incident took place “outside the venue in a public space”.
Multiple witnesses said they heard an explosion, with one telling the Guardian the blast shook the building.

Since your recent history includes zero football contributions, I feel fine about my footing... on a football message board.
