Apparently 23 dead so far. OMG there is video of the explosion from outside the stadium and across the street. Anyone who used the word "balloon" was way off base...

Video on twitter @neontaser

Chilling to hear this.

If they confirm it is a nail bomb attack, it could be very similar to the bombs used in the Boston Marathon bombing and the 2016 bombings in New Jersey and New York City.

My guess it will be Pakistani "Brits".

Payback for the recently finished "3 girls" mini series which exposed (told the true story) of a huge ring of Pedophilia involving Asian ( Think Pakistani) men and White girls (generally between 13 to 15).

Well they have video from inside and you can’t see anything. I guess we will all eventually find out.

There are unconfirmed reports of a man with a gun a Oldham Hospital in Manchester. Also somebody went on Twitter earlier today making a threat against Manchester.

Prayers for the kids hit in this attack. They are targeting little girls.

Someone on twitter showed an image of the aftermath, you can see the dead bodies..looks like an IED or nail bomb like Hamas is known to use when they target buses in Tel Aviv
