This is clearly the right decision, as football comes second in situations like this. Thankfully any serious injury was avoided, and hopefully the authorities can investigate and determine just what caused the explosions.
Still, it has been a scary day in Dortmund.
We’ll keep you updated with more information as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Marc Bartra is currently undergoing surgery for a broken radius in his wrist.
