How much worse does nails make it generally?

A lot.

It's a disgustingly vicious thing to do.

Well you can imagine what affect 1000's of flying nails can do, very bad bombs. There was a nail bomb at a gay club a few years ago in Soho from memory. Not good.

Also reports that there are 20 fatalities so far.

Makes me sick.

So the recent bombs over the years.. are they mostly non nails then?


Much worse than a normal bomb must be ridiculously scary

I can't stress enough how Ariana Grandes following would be 90% under 20s.

Only two other acts (one direction and Justin Bieber) worldwide would have more as a kid fanbase. This is going to be awful when the numbers come out.


I have seen on twitter unofficially from reporters there that they've heard 20 is the estimators and believed fatality number.



Taxi drivers offering free rides and 50 kids in the local premier inn shows the good side of social media though. And locals offering their homes for the night to people stranded

unfortunately this is not speculation, sky are reporting it

plus with 14k people in the surrounding area tweeting about it, its pretty much being played out publically


Foreign news channels are interviewing bystanders whereas Sky aren't (weren't). Looks pretty cr4p tbh - I didn't know who the singer was but it seems to be one with a very young audience which makes it worse.

Maximises shrapnel and therefore casualties. Takes a lot of explosives to make enough blast alone to kill people outright (except in a confined space). This requires less power to cause more injuries. Tho it usually has a limited lethal radius.

I didn't mean to reply to you. Meant to reply to the thread.

Honestly, her whole appeal is for children. Disney channel and that kind of thing. Young girls.

In a 30k audience, I can't think even 3% will be over 25s there on there own without kids.

That will probably be an estimate based on eyewitness accounts - and therefore not accurate.

Hopefully that's either a hysteric rumour or an average occurrence in Oldham on a Monday.

The area around the MEN must be a nightmare. Trains are down, 1000's of confused kids not knowing what to do and I presume mobile signals have been jammed.

One thing to remember. Horrible as these events are (assuming it was a terrorist outrage), they are the death-throes of Islamic State, striking out blindly as it is at the point of being eradicated in its heartland of Syria and Iraq. They will ultimately lose and civilised society will come through.

possible. oldham council have denied all knowledge and this appears to have stemmed from 1 social media source so im inclined not to believe it at the moment

mobile signals wont be jammed unless the CT lot get involved (which is quite likely) now

CT wouldn't hang about on that I wouldn't imagine.
