People trying to get attention because they were at a location way before a disaster. It's understandable if it was like a few days after you were at said location, but a lot of them are usually a lot further away and just wanting retweets.

I see why he's angry and I'll try my best to put it into words: the girl is all like "I was there 2 weeks ago! Such shock!" And that can be interpreted that if she did whatever she did 2 weeks ago today, then she may or may not have been there when the bombing happened. People do this all the time. They're surprised that the place they just visited was safe when they were there, but suddenly turned into a horrific accident. Does that make sense?
My brother was delivering food as his student part time job and he was in one of the restaurants that exploded in Paris right after it did. He didn't know yet as it had just happened when he got there. He saw dead people
I think that's harder to live than having been here before it happened
Yeah the morning after the concert people were talking about how they were still finding bits and pieces OF PEOPLE in their hair and clothes. That's WAY more traumatic than " if I left a month later it could have been me " type things
I went on a date with a guy who lives in central Manchester (close to Victoria station, and the Arndale, which is near the arena where the explosion occurred) which was my first and only visit there. Messaged him when I saw the news but thankfully he said he was in Ireland and not in Manchester when it happened.
It's a coping mechanism. The unexpected shock of this attack leaves people trying to fit it in with what they know is true, as non-secular as the two things are. It's a perfectly normal and healthy way of processing tragedy.
