    Has anyone else heard the rumours that there was a massive explosion in Manchester earlier this evening. Also a tram has supposedly derailed but its not yet known if the two incidents are related. Police apparently aren't ruling out possible Terrorist involvement. Anyone else have any futher information on these tragic events?
