I know i cant find anything either, it was at about 5.08 pm gmt that i heard the announcement on the radio.

Thanks spectre , guess i daint look hard enough.

There was pandomonion apparently people coming out there offices not having a clue what to do. My farther usually in manchester so i was worried at first.

If it had gone of it would of been terrible weve already had a major bombing, itll be intresting to find out who did this.

MAnchester evacuated!!???

BIt of an over exaggeration there.

There are bomb threats up and down the country day in day out. There has been for many, many years before this al quiada #. Anyone remember the IRA?

It was nothing anyway, as it normally is 99% of the time.

Normally some poor soul leaves their shopping down for five minutes and the security services blow up a bunch of bananas and cuddly toy! Sign of the "terrified age".

really hate it when that happens

a friend of mine who is in the forces told me that there are a lot more security alerts than people let on, and that generally they try to keep such things out of the media. Of course, it probably was just the security forces overreacting, but im sure there are much more instances that we arent told about. Im actually surprised London hasn't been hit yet tbh

Sorry if people misinterpretted it lol, i was looking for information, all i heard on the radio was parts of mancheter where evacuated and wanted to know more thanks everyone.
