magnkarl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just seen a video of a dash cam where you clearly see a flash and hear a large bang about a quarter mile away. Definite explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Feels a lot like what happened in Brussels where they targeted the ticketing counter as the areas where they ideally wanted to plant the bombs are too well guarded. How do you defend against this? People have to get in and out somewhere.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you defend against this? People have to get in and out somewhere.. Yep all the security would be concentrated on the actual arena I'd imagine but the entrance to Victoria would've been pretty deserted I reckon. Think of somewhere like New Street at 11pm, hardly any security or staff floating around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 If you look at the video of everyone running down the stairs there seems to be lots of people milling about there (waiting to pick up kids?) maybe they have let people into the foyer/concourse to pick up kids a few mins before it was due to finish?

magnkarl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looks like ball bearing injuries to me. Horrendous. What will be the backlash of this? How much of this sort of stuff does Europe handle before everyone goes berserk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBC saying terrorist incident confirmed. If this was an accident it would be treated as such. There isn't shrapnel and ball bearings in gas mains explosions.

LakotaDakota Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Not making me xenophobic, really couldn't give a shit what colour people are or where they are from but living in a small town it always seems to be something that happens in major cities so the possibility of something happening here never really crosses my mind. I suppose things like this just bring things closer to home. I have been to a dozen gigs so far this year at the LG & Barclaycard arenas and looking at my calendar for the year i have tickets to another 20 or so shows at the same venues along with a few in London. Guess i will be a little more wary and maybe a little more sober when attending future events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm so pissed off right now. Whoever did this should be hunted down and fed to the lions. I'll try not to say who I think did this, but it's pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
