当地时间周一晚间曼联站稳积分榜首位，英超联赛冠军囊中物，英国曼彻斯特体育场发生爆炸，已造成 22 人死亡，50 多人受伤，死者中包括儿童。

　　British police have confirmed at least 22 people are dead and more than 50 others hurt in a bombing which hit a concert in the city of Manchester.

　　爆炸发生时，美国人气女歌手 Ariana Grande 刚刚结束在场内举行的演唱会。

　　Authorities say the blast hit when audiences were leaving the concert put on by American singer Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena.

　　恐袭？

　　英国警方已认定此次爆炸案是一起“独狼式”袭击，凶手已经当场死亡。

　　Manchester Police said the attack was carried out by a lone suspect. "The attacker, I can confirm, died at the arena," said Chief Constable Ian Hopkins.

　　警方正按恐袭事件处理此次爆炸案。目前，还没有任何组织声称对事件负责。

　　The case is being treated as "a terrorist incident." So far no group has claimed responsibility.

　　我们所知的是，事发地点是欧洲最大的室内体育场，同时也是热门的演出场所。

　　Manchester Arena, formerly known as the MEN Arena, is the largest indoor arena in Europe.

　　90后歌手 Ariana Grande 的粉丝多为青少年。而据 CNN 报道，这种演唱会在专家看来正是恐怖分子容易下手的目标。

　　Michael Weiss, a senior editor at The Daily Beast, told CNN that concerts like this were "soft targets" for terrorists.

　　"(It's) a band that caters to a certain demographic, young teenage girls ... there's nothing just or defensible about this," he said.

　　心碎

　　事发后，人称A妹的 Ariana Grande 在社交媒体上发文表示：心碎、抱歉。

　　包括水果姐 Katy Perry 在内的众多大牌明星也纷纷发文表示同情与安慰。

　　当然，这个夜晚，最为焦急、心碎的是那些联系不上自己孩子的家长们。

　　Panicked、desperate、nightmare、frantic 等各种词汇可能都不足以描述他们的心情。

　　冷暖

　　恐怖、震惊过后，人与人之间的温暖悄然呈现……

　　一些网友决定在这个恐怖的夜晚，向陌生人敞开家门。

　　还有人或帮忙照顾走失的孩子，或在网上转发寻人的消息：

　　A woman named Paula Robinson wrote, "Please re-post for any parents with children at M.E.N. We have taken as many kids as we can to Holiday Inn. We will keep them safe and stay with them."

　　不过也有人在此时此刻，来曼联站稳积分榜首位，英超联赛冠军囊中物了一点不合时宜的“幽默”：

　　这位先生表示，上次听A妹的歌，他也差点挂了。

　　这条推文被网友猛喷：焦急的父母们还在寻找失踪的孩子，曼联站稳积分榜首位，英超联赛冠军囊中物你却如此冷血地开起了玩笑？！

　　Andrea Mes wrote, "Wow look, It‘s like I never made a joke about dead children while parents were still searching for missing kids! I'm so charity aware!"

　　由于这位自由撰稿人自称曾为 CBS 工作过，就连 CBS 的公关部门也火速出来澄清：并！没！有！

　　迫于压力，此人不得不删文、道歉：

　　Sorry 4 offending. Didn't realize the magnitude of the tragedy. I always make stupid jokes about whatevers trending. Condolences 2 families

　　不过这番道歉被网友们认为缺乏诚意，于是有人制作了这张图片：

　　删除推文只是因为“so many people asked”！Excuse me?188金宝博

　　那么，问题来了。恐袭之后，究竟应该说些什么？

　　戳链接，你就知道了。恐袭之后一定要说的五件事
