They're not evacuating the btuilding though, so presumably don't think there's any further risk to those inside.
That suggests a more mundane cause to me (speaker failure & collapse or even rail transformer going up)

There's far too many fake images going around social media to accept them as genuine without additional verification. Tommy Robinson was sharing the image of the training event and wondering if it was real...
The 20 dead figure seems to be something only the US networks are running with - not seen UK media saying that yet?
And armed police are virtually everywhere now.
Reporter John Scheerhout, who is in A&E at Wythenshawe Hospital, just posted this fake news.
A nurse just came out and announced in A&E ‘Anybody who is not serious, can you please leave and get treatment elsewhere as there have been reports of an explosion in Manchester, we’re expecting mass casualties.

Surprised it's been an hour and a half and no concrete news on what's happened yet. Just appears to be a confused scene at the moment.
Media are probably waiting for confirmation that it's definitely a bomb. Grim news indeed. Thoughts are with the families caught up in this, must be horrific.
I had planned on going to see Iron Maiden this month, didn't go in the end but the thought of such events being a target did cross my mind. That said, it hasn't been confirmed as an attack, yet. Too soon to speculate on exact circumstances whilst people are still being pulled out of there.

I've not seen any UK media use the 20 dead figure - have you?

Nail bomb apparently. Certainly believable from some of the images of the injured and a video of a girl bleeding very badly from her legs.
f
king cowards.
From the photographs of casualties being taken out most seem to have lower limb injuries consistent with devices placed o the ground such as nail bombs, ball bearings etc.f
king cowards.Hard not to jump to obvious conclusions given what has gone before.

UK national terror threat level has been raised by MI5 to "severe" in the past ~10mins.
Questions now are:
1. Who planted it / them?
2. Is he / she / they still on the run?
3. Are there any more attacks to come in the UK?
Gonna be a nervous commute for many people tomorrow and in the coming days.

I can't answer 1 or 2, but I can say with absolute certainty the answer to number 3 is yes. Maybe not by the same individual(s) responsible for this attack, but incidents like this serve to embolden others who would undermine our way of life. Expect to see some amateurish efforts in the next couple of weeks.Questions now are:

Usually security is at its highest after attacks and there are never incidents followed by them quickly?It has always confused me why there aren't attacks followed by attacks followed by attacks.
If they want to cause panic then that'd certainly be the way.
