How can there still be young girls unaccounted for? 22:27 - May 24 with 6065 views | Bluefish | If they have identified all of the dead and all of the injured. I can't see how this is possible. | |

How can there still be young girls unaccounted for? on 10:44 - May 25 by caught-in-limbo | Excuse me, if she's not one of the dead and not one of the injured but she's missing, why on earth is abduction such an implausible suggestion? |
Because, on the balance of probability, many other possibilities are more likely - that she has been run over by a bus, for a start. | |

I have to agree with you here. Closing any lines of investigation before they have conclusive evidence would be stupid. Perhaps they already have the evidence they need though. I think people are just annoyed with you because your first post didn't explain your point and because it's just too horrible to even imagine. | |

How can there still be young girls unaccounted for? on 10:47 - May 25 by caught-in-limbo | Where do I concede that there is a conspiracy? Is it so unreasonable to suggest that when someone is missing (and being among the dead and injured have been ruled out) that the girl may not have simply just vanished? |
You posted this, as a counterpoint to your own position: "So, to account for the missing people, who are not among the dead or injured, you're saying that the non-conspiratorial take on things is to accept that things are just as they seem." Is that not an indication that your position is a "conspiratorial take on things"? | |

Sadly in this case 'missing' more likely means they just haven't identified everyone yet. Can't you see that as more logical than thinking thinking they've been abducted? For example, these two poor people were also 'missing' earlier: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/manchester-bombing-victims-chloe- | | | |
How can there still be young girls unaccounted for? on 10:56 - May 25 with 1036 views | baxterbasics | AS has been alluded to here, when I heard the reports of taxi drivers and others offering free lifts / places to stay, the awful thought occurred to me that this might not end well for everyone accepting hospitality. Hopefully an unfounded fear and there will be nobody left missing once all IDs are official. | |

The point I was making was that the non-conspiratorial (therefore correct) stance, according to the poster I was responding to, was to accept that if the girl wasn't dead or injured, it's enough to accept that she is "missing". His implication being that "missing" was sufficient and that any speculation about what missing could mean was the stuff of a crazed conspiracy theorist. | |

You said "I hope something nasty is not being planned." You weren't discussing what may have happened but something that will happen in the future. What do you believe was being planned? [Post edited 25 May 2017 11:03]

I hoped (as has been explained) that being missing, she hadn't been abducted for whatever purpose IS may have for her in the future. It's not difficult. | |

How can there still be young girls unaccounted for? on 11:10 - May 25 with 994 views | Bluebell | As someone else has said, and bearing in mind what happened this time, I know that youngsters/teenagers very rarely carry ID. If they get separated from their phones, as must have happened in thsi case, it would take emergency services a while to identify them. Everybody needs to carry so sort of ID with them. I know young girls probably don't carry bags or have pockets in all their clothes. Maybe ID bracelets are the answer. I know it sounds awful but perhaps even and identity chip like dogs have. Obviously everybody hopes that it would never be needed but in incidents such as this or accidents they could be vital. | | | |

On reflection, based on the views of the less stupid than myself, I think dismissing abduction as a possibility by the heart-eating head-chopping jihadists was the right thing to do. I'd follow the more plausible line of investigation offered by Superfranz and prioritise an investigation into being run over by the 10:50pm night bus to Moss Side. | |

Because as I said earlier, officially there were still people 'missing'. And that is the line the media was using. Unofficially everyone had been accounted for yesterday, as I said on the first page. It just takes time to make public for a variety of reasons. I can see why you might think what you have given ISIS's past acts of depravity, but it's a hell of a ruse to try and kill people with a suicide bomb and if that didn't get them, abduct some just in case. Anyway, hopefully it can now be 'topic closed' as you say.... | | | |
