There is no Chaos !, it's all very calm, blood donor vans do not equate to chaos, I would describe the streets as quiet,with confused people wondering how they are going to get anywhere </font>[/QUOTE]When I was there (up by Liverpool Street), people were crying, a few screaming, running around either looking for seperated friends or getting out of the area. Police did a very good job though. However, I do accept that things have calmed down very quickly, kudos to London's population for acting in such a responsible manner.

Agreed. Experts have already pointed all their fingers at AQ. Thank goodness most are now abandoning this "power surge" crap.

I thought about the olympic bid, but i couldn't think who would do it for that. Maybe the terrorists just chose it to give extra publicity. </font>[/QUOTE]<font color="cyan">French renegades?

If our Underground is totally destroyed, we will lose the Olympics!

6 Explosions so far...5 on the underground, 1 on the DD Bus.</font> </font>[/QUOTE]FFS why would the French want to bomb us ? there's a million terrorists out there who hate us!!


This has all the hallmarks of an al Queda attack, probabally linked to the G8 conference, not the pissing olympics. Lets get rational people, please </font>[/QUOTE]Donut, calm down please. At the moment, we don't know WHO did this. It has the hallmarks of al Queda, yes, but lets wait and see. Like others, I hope it's not the IRA starting up again (dunno much about their current issues, so I can't say).

Hope all is well, and stay safe!! </font>[/QUOTE]It wasn't Donut it was me, and I am very calm , There is NO way this is down to the IRA, they give warnings, they don't favour the multiple blast scenario.

In his defence, the thought that it's the French is so stupid I can't believe it was suggested. lanesra is in the middle of it, a few hundred yards from where one of the bombs went off - I can understand why he's so angry.

Donut

An islamic website has said Al Queda hve claimed responsibility

Why does that not suprise me...

Casualities now believed to have reached 1000. 150 are serious. Disregard my earlier post about a warning, the same radio station has now discounted that.

I recon that they were just waiting for the Olympics to see if they could get that extra bit of publicity. I don't doubt that Al Qaeda are to blame.

Please post links,

I've heard of 2 dead, and 95 injured, and thats from reuters and the bbc, via the Emergency services.

Charles Clarke has confirmed 4 explosions

So what you are suggesting is that they spent months, maybe years planning this and just waited on the off chance that London was successful in their Olympic bid - riggghht!

Donut </font>[/QUOTE]I can see where he's coming from. Obviously the attack wasn't hinged on the Olympic bid, but by waiting to see the result and then bombing, the terrorists would have caused more trouble than if they hadn't. Obviously the attack would've gone forward anyway, but by acting right after the Olympic announcement they cause just that more devastation.
