Terrorists hit London -- Bombs in Underground and a Bus

[Lavindathar]

Ok Donut.

Under normal circumstances, I would say 100% Al-Q.

But the day after the Olympics? I'm not saying French nationals, I'm saying it's a possibility of French Terrorists.It's a possibility.

They are still claiming a power surge is possible, although eye witnesses say, it was an explosion with no sign of anything electrical occuring.

Both use the Underground to get to work, as they live near the centre so they don't have cars. Chances are they are ok, but it has to happen to someone. My uncle is a builder, so I don't know where he was going today. No-one is at home, and I can't connect to his mobile.

You wont get a mobile signal at the moment, the networks are swamped

Yeah cheers.

I had to ring my Dad in Thailand - he lives out there cos my mum doesn't speak to my Dads side of the family since they split up - or rather they don't speak to her, but he said the same. He was the one that told me my Uncle lives on Edgeware Road.

Worried sick.

Exactly.

We've just had some guy on BBC News, saying that the Power Surge was the best explanation. Because if they hit a sub-station, it will surge down the lines, blowing up other sub-stations and de-railing trains etc.

I was screaming at the tv - WHAT ABOUT THE BUS??

Forget the 2012 conjecture. Doubtless this was meticulously planned prior to London being awarded the olympics not yet 24 hours ago.

Al Qaeda and G8 makes sense and was my immediate thought too, the 2012 link is a disruptive bonus on the part of the terrorists.

A female reporter on ITV reports "hundreds and hundreds of walking wounded".

I'm not thinking he's dead or anything, but injured possibly. It's always a worry.

But thankyou, it's always good to know!

There is NO report of 90 deaths as yet! Please don't indulge in idle speculation about casualties and please don't make crass remarks about links to the Olympics. I've been trying to contact family and friends all morning, the olympics rate zero on my mind at the moment. We are living through this right now, I can hear sirens going past my office every few minutes. Please think before you post. Donut

I've been trying to contact family all morning.

I'm worried sick, and incredibly fucked off.

But, I do think about the Olmypics. Anger leads to speculation. [/QUOTE]Shut up about the olympics will you!! , are you old enough to watch/read the news?
this has all the halmarks of Al Queda, multiple blasts , all at the same time

I'm smack bang in the middle of this at the moment, collegues havent arrived yet, I work in television, so were getting some nasty pictures of people being resussatated, I hope all your family are well, but stop with all this French olympic crap.

Tony Blair is on his way to London now, the view of London from the roof of our Building in Tottenham ct rd is Surreal, no one about except the emergency services and the Army
