Just in now on bbc.

Police confirmed 'explosion' heard at the arena, details unknown.
There's a short Twitter vid showing the panic inside the arena during Ariana's Grande gig.

Edit: now police has confirmed "number of fatalities".

    It looks like an ideal target for suicide bombers.  I hope not - the close proximity of people would make the death toll high.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    If, and it's a big if, this was a terror attack, then I think we've just hit a new low, ladies and gentlemen. 

    Targetting a kiddies pop concert.  Wow, just fucking wow.  I cannot bear to think what some of those parents are going through, right now.

    On GM Police twitter feed, some guy has posted his dashcam video from a car park outside. Definitely a bomb. Boom! Shocking. Followed straight away by a guy from the daily mirror trying to nick it!

    Possible. No walls falling down on that video. Bombs tend to do that. Big flash though which could line up with something electrical. Sounded nasty though whatever it was. Lets hope for good news eh?

    I'm surprised that no organisation has claimed responsibility for this yet if it is a terrorist act.

    They may have, but the police are always careful to check the veracity of any claims before going public.

    Beyond disgusting. This is definitely a new low. How many more vile acts of terror can this country take before it snaps? 

    My thoughts are with all the victims and their loved ones.

    But "terrorism is just part and parcel of living in a major city" isn't it?
