2:38 am
let's bring in former fbi agent, steve gomez. what do you do, people are panicked. large number of people. many of them are very young? >> yes, in this situation when you are in a venue or a stadium, in such as this one. 21,000 people. the stampede. potential for stampede is in and of itself a danger to the people that are there. i mean there is a lot of risk that is involved in, in a stampede such as what we are seeing here. so, i think the announcement was very good in the sense that they're trying to, get everyone to remain calm. and to move slowly. now, the fact is, inside the stadium, there was no threat. now, everybody didn't know that. they just heard a boom. they didn't know where it came from. but, it, if you are, not faced with, a threat right in front of you. if there wasn't a gunman inside the stadium. wasn't what looked like a device
2:39 am
then there isn't really a reason to run out of there. with that many people creating a stampede injuring each other and now you have a problem there. so, i think it was a good announcement. have to consider when you are going to these events, i told this to my daughter. when you have this situation, you have to calm down and try to think, do i need new run out of there? right away. or do i need to man hold back. let the crowd kind of move slowly and then, walk out of there when it is safe. >> steve, how do you make that call? >> you have to think about what is facing you. what is in front of you? and we say, run, hide, fight. that's the, the -- basically the slogan that has been put out by dhs for, for anybody encountering a terrorist attack or active shooter. run, hide, fight. means if you have something you are facing that is either an active shooter or some type of terrorist situation. you need to run out of there. if you can't then you need to hide. if you can't hide then you got to fight.
2:40 am
and the fact is, in that situation, they heard a boom. they didn't know what was going on. there was no real threat that was in front of them. unfortunately, the threat was outside of the stadium. and the people that were out there, they're the ones that were injured. so if you are inside and you don't see anything in front of you, the panic in and of itself became a danger for all of the people. now, we haven't heard if any have been hurt from the stampede. but they just have to consider that, that, you know, know your surroundings, know where you are. think about where the threat is. and in this situation, it was outside of the stadium. >> all right. such a horrible situation. no matter which way you look at it. for many of those kids over there. steve gomez. thank you. the morning's other major stories next. including a busy day ahead for the president overseas. as his controversial budget plan is released back here hat home the u.s. >> first, a look at today's temperatures.

3:32 am
and everyone was getting up to leave. and all of a sudden there was a big bang. everyone started running, people were screaming, crying. and tried to look for an exit. we were at the top. we had to go around. >> up to this point in the ear morning hour. relatives and friend who have not heard from people who were at the concert are going door to door from hospital to hospital, looking for their loved ones. >> as you can imagine. throughout downtown manchester security is tight and extra police on duty. >> and rail stations near the manchester arena there in the heart of the city are closed this morning. there will be extra police at other stations as well as on trains and subways throughout all of the uk. abc's correspondent is there with more. molly, what are you learning right now? >> reporter: good morning, kendis, right. this city is on lockdown. police across the country across the city. nobody going in or out of city. quickly this morning.

3:34 am
>> the update has happened. we are getting a word from the greater manchester police chief constable, now update, and says death count has risen to 22. and a little bit more information about the bomber. the attacker, a lone male attacker who died in the blast, was carrying an improvised explosive device which he detonated. that seems to change things from what we were learning and make it more devastating as you can imagine, molly. >> that does. improvised explosion devices designed for maximum damage. most horrific injuries. if that is the case, of course, i have not seen pictures of the device, actually the crime scene, but we are expecting i'm sure that, could change if there are so many injuries, kendis. >> abc's molly hunter live from england. molly, thank you. checking in a little bit.

3:36 am
now it know it is not that easy to do. and a lot of people, they try it and they fail. some times they blow themselves up. and blow their hands off. their body. and so on. but, other times, these people will travel to other parts of the world and learn how to build a bomb from an actual bomb maker, and these terrorist organizations, isis, al qaeda, they tend to have these bomb makers that are very good at what they do and they train people if they're able to travel in and out. the question is did this person learn from watching something online or did they actually travel abroad to learn from a bomb maker then come back and build the bomb themselves? >> but, speaking of that bomb. i mean, we, we hear that term, ied a lot. talking war zones. what is the difference between that and a bomb earlier. earlier thought it was a backpack. a bomb with nails inside. what's the difference between an ied and, and -- a run of the mill bomb and does that really change this situation and make it worse?
3:37 am
>> it doesn't really change the situation, i mean, you, the difference is -- an ied is something that you are able to make yourself. it is improvised. that's where you get the name improvised explosive device as opposed to commercial grade type of bomb, grenade, explosive, that, say the military would use, here in the u.s. or say from a middle eastern country and terrorist was able to get access to such a device. the improvised device, put together the explosive material, device to hold it. in this case if it is true that they included some nails or bolts, we have seen that happen many times before. so they basically use whatever they have access to, wherever they are, to create this device. and then they use the materials to cause it to go off and kill people. >> okay, all right. steve, we have so much more to ask you. keep you around another half-hour. steve gomez, former fbi
