We just heard this on NHK News. Looks like a big one. Everyone OK there? Blast in Oslo

I'm Norwegian. At least two dead so far.

I'm OK. I'm on hollyday and have not heard of it. Thanks for the message!

It looks really bad, must have been an enormous explosion. Right in the middle of the government head quarter.

Two dead so far, 15 people hurt. Probably car bomb.

This is really sad. My heart goes out to everyone overthere

Was supossed to check opening hours 4 places, 50 meters from the
place. Grensen and Torggata.
Left work 14'ish. Then the weather went bananas, decided
to stay at home. Lucky me.

I'm up in the northern Norway for summer vacation this month

Yes only 2 people are "confirmed" dead, but they haven't carried out the corpses from the buildings yet

It seems like the worst act was the shooting at the island for teenagers at summer camp, which took place at the same time

Horrible.....the act of animals

There has also been a shooting at the isle of Utøya. There was a festival of the Socialist Youth Party(?). Several people were killed. This is horrible.

God that sounds like 9/11 - that plane that hit the Pentagon missed me by about 45 minutes. I was at the subway station before it hit. Of course, if it had flown over the Pentagon, and toward the white house, it might have gotten me at the bureau of engraving and printing too. You just never know, do ya???

7 confirmed dead so far, and the police confirmed connection to a shooting at a youth camp (Red side, Labour party).
Heck, what is happening to friendly, lovely Oslo.
I Know...

Should maybe just close this thread!?

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee people.

Perhaps you're right. Some as-shole has already made a joke out of it. As-sholes aside, best thoughts and prayers go out to those affected...

My deepest sympathy for the victims and all the people of Norway.

very scary and disorienting -
lighting the incense of well-being and of calm clarity for all of you up there
and for the whole region

The news here are telling that 4 or 5 persons are shot at Utøya as well, (eyewitness has said that they was executed) They also say it was a "nordic-looking guy" dressed as a policeman, but it is NOT confirmed - some dead at Utøya confirmed as I write now - about 30 people! says a eyewitness right now.

Good to see you on the board, Terje!

Nasty stuff. It can happen anywhere. Hope everybody's ok.

oh Brue. I just drove by the pentagon 20 minutes before the crash. Crazy things going on in the world. Its tragedy and so senseless and dumb.

Hope all our Norwegian friends BV, Erik, Stones Vikings and others who may be up there are safe. God bless, SD.

9 or 10 people confirmed killed at Utøya. The police have arrested one man. (He has also been seen in Oslo)

PS. It's the first time I use this forum OT: I think this mainly should be a Stones-forum, but this time I can try to uppgrade you when I'm following the news in Norwegian TV. (If you want it)

I've just come back from work per and have missed the news. Do we know what the motivation was for the attack?

Shocking and terrible news from Norway today. Stay strong.
