Nothing concrete as yet - at least three tube stations have been evacuated. Some eyewitnesses report smoke coming from them and a nearby hospital has moved into "major incident" readiness.

Just what Shamrock said really, but I know people like to have links EDIT: there's something about a No. 26 bus now too, surely not some kind of sick copy-cat attack? [ 07-21-2005, 08:39 AM: Message edited by: Aragorn1 ] |

May be jumping to conclusions but this doesn't seem to have the 'feel' of bomb attacks like last time. There's probably half a dozen "incidents" on london buses every day given how many they are.
Given that the eyewitness only speak of burning and not an explosion and the reports of smoke leaving the station have been downgraded perhaps judgement should be witheld as to what exactly these are. [ 07-21-2005, 08:41 AM: Message edited by: shamrock_uk ] |

Probably over reacting to something, understandable, i'd be a bit nervous too at the moment.

Hmm...the transport police have now confirmed four explosions.
Looks like the tube ones were using detonators only though... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4703777.stm |

Some more info on MSNBC:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8655541/ And CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe...ube/index.html So far reports of only 1 injury. News is still speculative and not clear on just what happened.

Some inconvenience for Donut and Lanesra and me - they closed the station that we were bound for, so we had to go cross country by bus, and Lanesra went well out of his way to drive us all home. All 3 of us are safe though - doesn't sound like there were any fatalaties at any of the 4 blast sites.

I guess we have to thankful for the fact they were so incompetent.
I didn't previously realise the significance of this date, but the blasts occurred during the memorial service for the previous blasts. |
