Explosion at Ariana Grande concert in UK

I remember I was about 8 or 9 at my first concert. Went with a friend, my sister and her friend. My mom was the chaperone and she coordinated with the other parents. I can't even imagine this happening.

The world has turned into such a scary place. It's terrifying for my children. School. Movies. Malls. Airports. Restaurants. Concerts. Literally everywhere.

Horrible. They think it was a backpack bomb- why are people still allowed to bring those in?



The explosion may not have been inside the arena.

19 confirmed killed right nowChat Icon



It sounds like it was outside as concerts was letting out



yeah I just heard this too.

And as another poster mentioned, so many younger fans would be at the show. Absolutely sickening. Chat Icon



So it seems it was inside the arena Chat Icon

Awful. How were they able to get this in? Chat Icon

Watching GMA and they just talked to 2 girls that were there. And they were surprised at the lack of security getting in. Said they had to open their bags but the security barely looked inside. 1 of the girls said she saw Bruno Mars there and the security was much stricter.

ETS: My heart breaks for everyone involved. But I can not imagine how Arianna Grande is doing after this. I did read her statement but I just can't imagine the heartache she is feeling today. They said she was inconsolable Chat Icon



I was thinking about ariana Grande, shes only 23 and the enormous guilt(although not her fault in the slightest) she will now have to live with this. Its awful. and children...my heart breaks for them.

Me too. When we go to the movies, my first thought after sitting down is what if some madman comes in and starts shooting the place up.
This is my first thought...at the movies...with my daughter...

Sick, sick world and my heart breaks for all families involved.

Re: Explosion at Ariana Grande concert in UK

Is it sad that everywhere I go, I examine where the exits are? I still have anxiety from 9/11 and being trapped in a building being told not to leave and knowing planes were going into buildings. That fear never quite leaves you and now I'm older with children, I can't help but be scared. I know we all say, don't live in fear, don't let the terrorists win but that survival mode never quite goes away.

I do the same thing. Movies. Mall. I still do those things so it's not letting the terrorists win per se, but it does affect my enjoyment of them when I'm anxious.

We literally just had a drill at work and the guy said it is scary but everyone needs to do this everywhere they go.

This news broke on the radio last night when I was driving with my kids. They said they are scared to go to their first concert this summer now. I was trying to figure out a way to tell them it could happen anywhere at any time without scaring the daylights out of them Chat Icon

This whole thing breaks my heart.
