Re: Terror attack in London
I'm sure this is in poor taste to say, but in the grand scheme of things, a few buses being blown up doesn't seem to me to be that big of a deal. It's an everyday occurance in several countries. It's nothing on the order of magnitude of flying an airliner into a skyscraper, poising a water supply, or detonating a dirty bomb. If you want to have something to quiver in your boots regarding, think like I do: Eventually, someone, somewhere, is going to detonate a nuclear bomb as a terroist act. I'm just hoping that it occurs after my children have grown old and died.

We were attacked many times by the IRA this blowing up of some buses and on the tube is bigger than anything they ever did and more so targeted poeple to kill and maim, we are talking about many of hundreds of people killed here not a couple on a bus.

Re: Terror attack in London
Do you think that you could you wait until the afternoon, or at least until they're done finding bombs, before bringing us this wonderful dose of perspective and how it's not so bad as we think?

Re: Terror attack in London
One good thing tho, reports on BBC and also in local radio news, told emergeny have worked very well. And the hard training they have done in London helped at least something.
Also on radio news expert kept saying how well planned this was by the terrorist, right time, right targets, etc.

Re: Terror attack in London
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

Some people got together and decided it would be a good thing to kill lots of random, innocent people. That is just a terrible thing.

Re: Terror attack in London
Don't know why people are arguing over this. This is STILL HAPPENING AS WE SPEAK.
Anyone guessing at deaths/casualties is doing just that. Believe me, this is bad. Real bad.
