Terror attack in London

[ijustliketoplay]

Army on the streets now.

I'm sitting in my flat and wondering (not that it hasn't crossed my mind before) why the hell I live in London.

[Vavavoom]

I was about to get a lift home from work....

CEO of my company has come on email asking everyone to stay in building as police have advised streets are not safe at the moment where we are....

Head of the metropolitan police just spoke, 6 explosions that they know about.

Liverpool Street
Moorgate
Edgewere road
not sure about the other two tube stations

And a bus.

I went to gutshot card room in London yesterday which meant i went to Liverpool Street and then through Moorgate, pretty [censored] up.

No confirmed deaths yet but casualties certainly.

Eyewitnesses have reported seeing bodies covered by sheets in the roads.

Thats all we know. If you're in London STAY WHERE YOU ARE - all transport is down.

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.

They just said on the news that the term casualties refers to injuries as well in England

Agreed. Fortunately the basement of my office is a bar with a TV, so that makes the decision easy.

This is correct. The "death count" I've just heard is 2 at Aldgate East, but it must be higher--it's hard to believe the Russel Sq. bus explosion didn't kill anyone.

well if the bus was packed we are talking 200 ish people and looking at the bus noone got out of that. Tube carriges hold the same so I am expecting 1000+ casualties minimum with quite a few deaths.

Must have been preplanned for months with G8 meeting.

Police are playing it down at the moment trying to stop panic but I think this could be really bad.

PLeased not working in London at the moment but I am still going to go there to play poker not letting stuff like this stop me.

[AlcateL]

Well if you're not there in the rush hour you're likely to be okay.
