Where did the balloons story come from?

I remember during 7/7 for the first hour or so the incident was being reported as some sort of electrical surge on the London Underground. The problem wi rolling news is you just can't jump to conclusions one way or the other.

Whoever is behind this doesn't deserve to live. So many young people would have been there tonight. What have they ever done to deserve this. The perpetrators shouldn't be named as they may want that notoriety. They might want people to be fearful of whatever agenda they're trying to push. Remember the victims not the subhumans who've done this.

I would have thought anyone with a shred of basic human decency would be hoping that this wasn't done deliberately.

No it was not. There have been many videos from inside the arena. It was not pyro, it was not a speaker blowing up.

Where are those videos? I saw a lot of videos of people running and screaming, nothing shows it wasn't pyro or a speaker blowing up.

Looks like it could be a pressure cooker bomb according to this tweet.

And what's their source?
Ridiculous that anyone can post what they want o Twitter and the news reports it like a fact.

Wouldn't surprise me if isis claim responsibility even if they aren't involved whatsoever.
Rip to those who lost their lives.

Early reports as there were lots of pink helium balloons in the arena,

They would not ignite at the exact same and create such an explosion.

Lots of pictures of people carrying balloons in the auditorium after the incident.

Sadly looking more and more like a bomb.

Reports of paramedics on the scene having to remove shrapnel from the wounded. Truly truly shocking, thoughts with all the people who were at the concert.

I wouldn't say that. I think most right thinking people would look for the truth and not try and cover up for islamist terror groups.

Helium is inert.. It is not flammable. It would not cause an explosion. It does look like a bomb of some sort however. A gas leak would be picked up by the fire system long before it could explode.

Some people on here are licking their lips at the prospect of it being a deliberate attack.

Be honest, you are.

Isobel Hodgins who plays Victoria Sugden in Emmerdale was at the gig and said balloons were released after the concert.

There's looking for the truth and there's jumping to conclusions.

You must be new to After Hours.




Absolutely horrible to see, I've a few friends from Manchester and Oldham - thankfully none were there or knew anyone who was from what I've seen. Really have to feel for the families and victims.
