There will be a controlled explosion in Cathedral gardens shortly if you hearing anything don't be concerned.

Pretty confirmed this happened between the rail station and the entrance to the stadium which is all connected. Parents were waiting there for their children who were inside plus people were already coming outside to the trains.

That's a fast find and a fast ability to set it off harmlessly.

As depressing and enraging these events and the news can be, I'm almost always comforted by the charity of others to help.

Wow. Who let's a bunch of kids go to a concert so late at night without an adult? I mean I can understand one parent bringing their kid and some friends. But whole groups without an adult?
Yea bc their parents being there would have prevented a suicide bomber? idiot

Second device found - British guy saying this doesn't fit bill of IRA, but does fit middle eastern Muslim types.

We used them well before that. Nails were a common ingredient for use with short range artillery during the Texas Revolution, the Mexican War, and the Civil War.

Good possibility it wasn't anything, but no reason to take a chance on something lying around.

Yep
This is going to be Muslim scum. We all know it.

Yep. Tell tale is the targeted an American act. He said the IRA wouldn't do that. The ISIS inspired people (most likely) targeted this because the symbolism of hitting the UK and an American act. Also hoping there would be Americans there.

The unaccompanied kids they're talking about are most likely 13 and older, not little 8 year olds. I got dropped off by my parents or friends' parents at the mall, movie theaters and concerts quite a few times when I was in high school and they'd leave and pick us up later on.

It's times like this I always remember the quote from Mr. Rogers.

The IRA's biggest support base outside of Ireland and Northern Ireland were in the bars of South Boston and Hell's Kitchen.
