Attack in London

[smartandsexy]

Shit - it looks like it's really happening.

Explosions on the tube, now a bus exploding in Russell Sq. The tube unions have confirmed devices on the underground.

I feel sick. I've checked my family and friends are safe, but that won't be the case for everyone.

God, this feels just like the old IRA days.

7 fatalities at Aldgate.

yeah we were discussing it on another thread

at first it was reported as a power surge - but there are now multiple explosions

I repeat mutiple explosions



looks like its our turn

 

[Boobyprize]

BBC is saying it might be due to power surges, but people have reported being told there were bombs.

Yeah, I thought people might not find it on that thread - especially as a lot apparently have E_S on ignore.

Blamed on a power surge at this stage.

http://www.bbc.com

official line is that at the moment

but power surges dont cause tops of buses to blow off


trying to find out what is going on but as you can imagine it is difficult - only have radio in office - no TV

I am south of river so not in the centre

God, I feel for you. I'm scared enough about the people I know are inside buildings - we don't know how this is going to develop and where my brother-in-law works could conceivably be a target.

I do hope you're able to get hold of her soon.

dont worry until you know whats happening

The main area seems to be around Aldgate East station in the East - towards the city

Scotland Yard have now reported multiple explosions - but as of yet not the why or the what

The buses are Bloomsbury - Russell and Tavistock Squares.

this is rather worrying.
i'm rather glad to be living in a small town in the middle of nowhere today.

Britons, kiss your civil liberties goodbye.

Remember those one or two corners in London that don't have cameras? Well they will now. And get ready to hand your magnets over to the magistrate's office, they interfere with those RFID's that'll be implanted in your arms...

at the moment bbc are reporting only one bus - tavistock square, fatalities now reported - no numbers

chances are she'll busy calling all her friends to check on them. very slim chances that anything has happened to her there sweetie. try not to panic

Terrorists if they have the will can always strike - it doesnt have to be high profile targets

You cant protect the whole of a city the size of London - all you can do is deter and be vigilant

Every one knew that it was only a matter of time before there was something that happened in the UK
