    about to happen:
    "they were in imminent danger of being swept away"

    synonyms: impending · close (at hand) · near · (fast) approaching ·
    [more]



    Hope not.

    Police in the German city of Munich have warned of a planned terror attack and have asked people to avoid crowds.

    The police tweeted that the city's main station and Pasing station had been evacuated and said trains were no longer stopping there.

    In a Facebook post, authorities said they had "serious information" that the attack had been planned for New Year's Eve. They gave no further details.

    Cities across Europe are already on a heightened state of alert.

    Thought the use of the word imminent was strong alright but the police in Munich used Facebook to send a mass message out using that word themselves.

    Hopefully an oversight

    Imaginary ville - The threat is "imminent" and everyone has been asked to remain indoors. Load of me bollix tbh. Fear-mongering and sh1ttery at its finest. "We have been informed of a threat, and have decided to use FB to spread the word...". Go ask me hoop. "Let's stir it up for the craic, then let in a load more migrants and see how the plebs react".

    Fcuk off.

    Laugh at me if you want :o
    But when whatsapp went down earlier I was thinking that it may be shut down to terrorist attack. It was only effecting europe. Sure even ISIS used twitter before to communicate and phone networks can easily be monitored.

    Alot of talk during the week about an attack on europe. Lets hope I am being a crazy nut :pac:

    "According to SZ information, police expects a group of terrorists, similar to the Paris attacks. Due to the evacuation of the threatened stations, the terrorists could have chosen different targets. Therefore, large crowds should be avoided."

    It's a bit late to tell people to avoid large crowds when it's already late in the evening and people are out in the city.

    It wasn't only affecting Europe. I couldn't connect to whatsapp earlier and I'm in the U.S.

    That thought did cross my mind though.

    Checking Twitter and periscope. Only rumors and rehash of police statement.
