that doesn t mean to say there weren t victims. we know this comes two week after the attack in manchester. a sued bombing attack at a concert by ariana grande in the lobby area as people were leaving, young people and their mothers, mostly young girls and their mothers. yet, today, ariana grande and coldplay and others will hold a concert there in manchester. phil black is there to tell us all about it. phil? reporter: christiane, the emotion that people have been feeling here two week. the hur, the anger, the trauma. the people of manchester know in london today, people are feeling these same things. that tremendous empathy is that comfort. instead, i think the people here have a sense that their emotions, the ones they have been processing two weeks now, have been stripped once again. the emotional context this concert will be taking place in tonight. the organizers say it will go ahead and continue and, in their
because ariana grande, the pop star performing is so popular and particularly popular with a very young audience. we have seen a lot of children and parents wandering around. people just shell shocked at what they witnessed last night. so here s exactly what we know happened. it took place, the attack just as the concert was ending as ariana grande was leaving the stage. eye witnesses reporting hearing something like the sound of balloons popping or a loud blast. the explosion took place in the lobby area towards the entrance of the venue in the sort of place where people would go and buy merchandise, t-shirts at the end of the concert. a lot of people moving through the area as they were exiting the stadium and there were scenes of panic according to people we have spoken to. absolute blind terror. people running frantically not
concerts. that s unclear. we don t know why people were gathered there but we do have eyewitness accounts from at least one man who said that he saw people lying on the ground bloodied. he was sitting near the lobby area and he was waiting for his family to pick his family. up. they were inside the concert. he looked over and he saw these people and he heard the explosion and he said that it appeared to him it was happening very near the right side of the arena. now are being told that appears to be the case. it was outside of the arena at the box office and if that s the case, this would not be an issue of circumnavigating or circumventing security even though there were no pat downs. there was a fair bit of security in and around the arena at the time this happened. tucker. tucker: trace gallagher, thanks. finding out just how much there was.
well, that doesn t tell me too much. i was reading a report just a moment ago, said it started from the outside of the hotel. that is interesting to me. i m not exactly sure what they meant by that when they reported it. but, you know, it s hard to tell because i don t know the structure of this building. the 20th floor or where it started, is that a lobby area? there s certain hotels and residents where you actually get into the elevator at the bottom and you go up to a certain floor to actually go into the lobby. so i m not sure how the layout is in this particular building. but that could be saying a lot about where the fire started and if it was something that was nefarious how people had access into that area. this is, you know, look one of the things about the united states is we have codes, fire codes, the way things are built. what i m seeing in this particular picture that we re looking at is that a couple of
die. we made our way into one of the busiest hospitals in kathmandu. and actually a lobby area. normally a lobby area. get an idea of how chaotic the scene is over here. this area over here they set up for people with brain injuries, spinal cord injuries. very challenging. don t have enough ventilators. don t have enough monitors. see over here, they actually are doing procedures right at the bedside because there is not enough operating room capabilities. operations performed, right in the hospital lobby. this facility so overwhelmed dozens are forced to wait outside until medical personnel can give them care. nearly two days after the earthquake. get an idea how bid busy things are. at the busiest hospital. emergency vehicles keep coming in. patients either being rescue. finally found. making their way through the
