    At least 19 dead, around 50 injured. Confirmed being treated as a terrorist incident.

    American sources suggesting a suicide bomber, not confirmed yet.

    Id say there would be unfortunately a few injuries in the stampede out too.

    Lots of youngsters too. Horrible.

    Talk of nuts and bolts on the floor after the explosion.

    Second suspect device found, due to be a controlled explosion.

    Not that i like BBCs coverage on half the stuff (They are NOT impartial) but presumably most of the staff and reporters have clocked off as it was pretty late at night.

    Terrible thing to happen, i just hope the people who have been caught up in it recover and can live a normal life (PTSD etc)

    My point was more the tone of the reporting; it was more measured and calm (like the coverage of the July 2005 atracks) than the panicky, sensationalist and very un-British coverage of Westminster.

    Obviously wholeheartedly agree with your last paragraph.

    I don't mean to sound jaded and cynical but I imagine this will end up being a big boost to Ariana Grande's career. Now adults know who she is, and kids will have an even stronger attachment to her.

    I have to admit I'd never heard of her until last night.

    thee comes a time when raido and tv needs to stop being 24 hour tabloid and not display clips off phones round the clock.
    thats not her fault though.

    all she can do is get over to a hospital and say sorry you got hurt to her fans

    I recognized the name but couldn't tell you if she was a musician, an actress, or a reality TV star. I just knew I'd heard the name before. Now I know she is a musician.

    If she can but she probably needs counseling for herself more than trying to take on any responsibility for helping others

    (Kenny took a massive weight on his own shoulders after Hillsborough and probably too much)

    No, I absolutely don't blame her, but you know she is going to benefit from this. Not her fault, and I'm sure she wouldn't wish it to happen but this is going to take her from b list celebrity to a list celebrity.

    Shes one of the most followed people on twitter / instagram. She doesn't need any additional publicity really.

    Instagram = kids


    Adults know who she is now too. That's a much bigger potential market.

    milk... seriously you are wrong. she's just a kids tv singer who's had a decent bit of success and isn't a total bad sort so this is deeply cynical.

    I'm sure oprah or whats her name ellen will be all over wanting interviews and stuff.

    Whats she supposed to do now?
