Saying now that it was near the booking/ ticket office.
A witness said he was blown off his feet by the explosion and he saw many bodies around him.
Looks to be very serious.

Sounds dreadful, still unclear what the cause is.

If it was a terrorist attack, surely with a reported 21,000 people in the arena (is this realistic? I've never been) they would have done it inside the performance area as opposed to the box office?

Most arenas do have metal detectors as you go into the arena. I know the O2 Arena does, but like I say it's only as you go into the actual arena.

Seeing a few reports on Facebook from people who knew people there saying it was equipment blowing up rather than a bomb?

It may be. After all, accidents happen at any time.

Exactly. It's just mixed in with current world events, that fact is very easy to forget.
