Re: Terror attack in London
Just heard on BBC there is two trains stuck, and they are starting a big rescue operation, also emergency service have brought big pipes to get the smoke out of there.
This can get very bad.

Re: Terror attack in London
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] i was going to post about the number of people injured and it being low compared to one would expect in an enclosed area (subways) and compared to the number of explosions. but i thought I might be undermining a tragedy. I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore, somebodies made it sound much worse than I was afraid I would come across [/ QUOTE ] They will be bringing out the injured first the announcements of deaths and stuff will come a lot later, the british police tend to wait for facts before passing it to the media. There are people still stuck on trains in between stations I have been stuck in one like that for half an hour and it was bad enough and paniky enough, I cant imagine been there for 3 hours with the fear of a bomb going off as well. Ferryin g people to hospoital on buses so we are talking a lot of people. The BBC will be being ultra cautios on reporting as they have a new policy after the russain massacre of ensuring and delaying information until it becomes fact. I have the same stomach wrenching feeling I had on 9/11, hoped we had escaped it. [/ QUOTE ] well thats a bit different than here. we tend to overestimate and then come down. Hopefully it stays low. One thing I would like to comend the Londoner's for is the compusure they are keeping. The interveiwee's are not quick to blame or overestimate as the live reports I'm used too despite the interveiwer's attempts

i wonder if this has anything to do with the olympics and if nyc or paris would have won what would happen [/ QUOTE ] It's too well coordinated for it to be a reaction to the Olympic announcement. The timing may be related to the G8 conference.

Re: Terror attack in London
Body after body coming out of Russel Square, major stuff still going on a Kings Cross.
Kings cross is so busy at the moment is the hub of trains coming in for the north and the tubes are extra busy as the thames link has been closed so evryone has to get off there.

Re: Terror attack in London
I'm far enough away not to be directly affected by this but I have friends who live/work in that area that I've been trying to get hold of (just heard back from the one I was most concerned about, thankfully).
My thoughts are with any of you directly caught up in this. Sheriff
