On FoxNews, a British guy just said he thought 7 explosions could be confirmed.

He also mentioned he heard a second explosion went off in the same location as one of the first explosions. The reason for that would be to wait for the emergency services to arrive and then hit them again. (I believe that's an IRA tactic)

have they estimated casualties?

FoxNews is reporting and unconfirmed 90 casualties. I would expect the # to go up from anything that gets reported in the next couple hours.

Rudolph pulled the same thing at one of his abortion clinic bombings. At least, I think it was him, it might've been someone else in GA though.

Be safe Londoners.

Yeah my friend just called me, little paniac where he is right now.

Initial reports were of power surges on the Underground system causing explosions, but that's been discredited now that at least one, possibly three double-decker buses have been blown up.

My office is right in the middle of the affected area - staying put for now as the streets are a bit scary with buses going off, but will head home when it's been quiet a couple of hours. Local time 10.53am now, first blast was reported 8.59am

We're starting to get TV interviews with survivors. The first couple have had blood on their faces while they talked with reporters. Those images are going to stick.

"terrible injuries".

"A police spokesman said there were "quite a large number of casualties"

BBC

Politicians had warned it was inevitable that terrorists would hit the UK, I was trying not to believe them until now.
