London blasts

[london boy]

I hope that those sick and twisted behind this get caught and face the appropriate punishment

Also reports of stations in Swindon and Brighton being closed due to "security incidents".

Really?? So it's not just London then...:o :o

 

[LiberatedChick]

Yes, bus travel has been suspended. Tube is completely shut down and being evacuated. Roads in those areas are closed, slow moving or grid locked.

 

[amazed_by_grace]

Where did you hear those reports?

That's what I've just heard on BBC news...apparently there's had reports of thsoe stations being closed/evacuated but they haven't said anything further about it.

Where did you hear those reports?

Normally I'm a spaniard, but today I'm British

 

[amazed_by_grace]

90 casualties at Aldgate. Underground and bus services all suspended. People asked not to travel into London either.

 

[MadeInOz]

I had her work and home numbers... I discovered the mobile network was down the hard way.

 

[Miss_Music]

i heard there's been 6 explosions now?

 

[amazed_by_grace]

Aldgate eyewitness reports seeing dead bodies on the track and horrific injuries.

missmusic: the police have confirmed 6 explosions.

 

[Miss_Music]

Hmmm... this will be interesting to see what or who is behind this.

G8 protestors? Islamic terrorists? Resurgent IRA? Faulty wiring and mass hysteria? Angry French?

sorry to find humour during this horrifying time but this was so funny!!!

angry french... LOL!!!!!

 

[Talie]

there have been NO confirmed deaths at this point - and the authorities are saying that indications so far are that there are few deaths likely to be reported

(remember i'm in australia and our broadcast is slightly delayed)

1055 A doctor tells Reuters there are at least 90 casualties at Aldgate station.

 

[fromwithin]

not funny! it is plausible, as are all the other suggestions.

 

[gnine]

Probably the phones have gone down because everyone is ringing to say their ok, or find out if people they know are ok.

FTSE seems to be wearing the damage ok... so far. Financial markets aren't reading that much into it.

 

[amazed_by_grace]

News reoports are slowing down at this point...

 

[MidnightBlue]

CNN reports 2 fatalities and 90 injuries in London.

 

[b*unique]

it is confirmed that it was coordinated terrorist attack

not funny! it is plausible, as are all the other suggestions.

sorry, i realise that the decision to hold the olympic games in London could be a real cause of these attacks. i just thought the way it was worded was funny.
