    It's hard not to be extremely angry seeing them targeting kids now.

    fwiw: UK comments in that tweet are saying only the number of dead is confirmed, and Manchester police haven't said anything about "large group of young girls." Saying CBS made that part up.

    As usual, probably shouldn't trust twitter right now

    I would assume the majority of fans would be groups of girls.

    Pretty sure this guy is just reading tweets. I can literally tell you the tweet that uses the word "nails" and the bystander who tweeted that video was just speculating. All we could see was women was bleeeding through her pants, from a rather large explosion that hurled ppl 30ft,,,quote from victim in BBC article below

    This BBC article has better info and victim quotes. But you actually have to click the linK and read the accounts vs one liner tweets

    You should tweet that, like the David CBS guy.

    Yeah, he has a chance of being right, but I'm nearly 53.7% sure he tweeted that because there are some tweets from worried friends and relatives saying "has anyone seen this girl, she hasn't replied to our messages and was at concert".

    That's some solid news there.

    Just saying twitter is famous for being wrong early here, and the comments from UK to that guy's tweet is there is absolutely no other news outlets in UK and certainly no police reports mentioning victims to that level of detail

    That CBS David guy put out two questionable tweets that read like he's just reading twitter and has no source of his own.

    When the IRA bombed the Arndale center they phoned in warnings, caused zero fatalities and expressed regret about the injuries. This next wave of terrorists can't be compared.

    The goals are totally different. They shouldn't be compared, agreed.

    An Ariana Grande concert? Why are these terrorist targeting teens? Don't most Arena check purses and metal detectors. How did they get the bombs in?
