Clickbait headline of the night so far...




What they actually mean it's that it has been confirmed that there are a number of fatalities, not the actual number.

NBC News seems to have confirmed the sad count.



American News networks often post speculation as fact

Im seeing 2 sources mention an incident occurring at Oldham hospital about a man with a gun. May be unrelated. Just keep an eye out for that. Might not be significant.

BBC One NI faded out Graham Norton when they were due to go to the news channel at 0050 but before the end of the programme (were they running late?)


Network was running about 5 minutes late too, did the Ten over-run?

BBC NEWSLINE should have been 10:30-10:40pm tonight but it was 10:35-10:45am, the freeview guide says Graham Norton was to finish at 1:00am.

Scotland Finished on time for Graham Norton, so I dont believe any other were late, but all nations have opts out.

Yeah Asa I flicked over to One NI at 12.05am and HIGNFY was still ongoing, which should have finished at midnight.

If possible, listen to BBC Radio 5 Live as they have had many eyewitnesses accounts, some of which I certainly won't be forgetting any time soon.

Looks like the cameras on BBC News were trying to get into position for the normal Newsday setup just now.
