WE HAVE
BREAKING NEWS FOR YOU GUYS, IT IS TRAGIC NEWS.
AN EXPLOSION AT
ARIANA GRANDE'S CONCERT JUST HAPPENED, IT IS IN MANCHESTER
ENGLAND.
APPARENTLY THERE WERE DEATHS INVOLVED AND WE WILL TRY TO
GIVE YOU AS MUCH CONTEXT AS WE CAN IS IT JUST HAPPENED
WHILE WE ARE DOING THE SHOW LIVE.
>> THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF DETAILS OUT YET.
IT WAS
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING HER CONCERT.
APPARENTLY SOME OF THE
CONCERT GOERS HEARD TWO LOUD BANGS NEAR THE TICKET AREA THEN
THEY DESCRIBE SEEING CHAOS.
PEOPLE DROPPING THEIR PHONES AND
BELONGINGS.
SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THEY SAW BLOOD.
WE ARE NOT SURE
IF THE CLAIMS ARE TRUE.
THEY ARE SAYING IT MIGHT'VE BEEN CONFETTI
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CONFIRMED
FATALITIES AND PEOPLE INJURED.
MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING TO THE
POLICE ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE AREA ARE
BEING WARNED TO STAY AWAY FROM THERE.
THERE IS A VIDEO OUT
RIGHT NOW OF SOME OF THE CHAOS HAPPENING AT THE SCENE.
BUT WE
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THE DETAILS YET WE JUST HEARD ABOUT THE
TRAGIC EVENT WHILE WE WERE ON THE AIR
>>LAST YEAR AND MAY IN MANCHESTER THEY CANCELED THE BIG
SOCCER GAME BECAUSE THEY WERE REPORTS
OF ATTACKS.
WE DON'T
KNOW IF IT IS ATTACHED TO THIS INCIDENT.
THIS AREA HAS BEEN A
TARGET AT LARGE HIGH-PROFILE SPORTING ARENAS.
THERE IS NO
CONFIRMATION AS TO WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED.
>> EUROPE HAS BEEN TARGETED BEFORE, INCLUDING AT OTHER LARGE
SPORTING EVENTS.
IN PARIS WE HAD AN ATTACK PRETTY CLOSE TO THEIR
ELECTIONS.
THERE IS AN ELECTION 2 1/2 WEEKS FROM NOW IN THE UK.
IT IS A NORMAL QUESTION YOU ASK IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS GIVEN
THAT SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HAPPENED IN PARIS.
IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ARIANA GRANDE'S RECORD LABEL SAY THE
SINGER IS OKAY.
THERE ARE REPORTED FATALITIES BUT ARIANA GRANDE IS NOT
AMONG THEM.
>>DEVASTATING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH
AND EXPECT ALMOST FROM BIG CROWDED EVENTS.
>> NOW THINGS ARE GETTING MORE SERIOUS.
NOW THERE IS MUCH MORE
SECURITY ALL AROUND US.
IT IS MADDENING BECAUSE THEY ATTACK
PLACES WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT DRIVES US APART.
IF IT IS
AIRPLANES, TRAINS, IT IS LARGE SPORTING OR SINGING EVENTS LIKE
CONCERTS, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET US TO NOT COME TOGETHER
ALMOST LITERALLY.
>> I THINK THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY EGREGIOUS.
THIS IS
ARIANA GRANDE, AND THE AUDIENCE IS MAINLY TEENS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE PARTICULARLY
DEVASTATING.
