there isnt anythingwrong with croyon bomb wise? is there? shit. my dad and his family live there i hope they are alright

Where abouts in Croydon? Is there anything running (transport wise) in the area?

Another Explosion, just gone off I think.

A site called Wikipedia my work mate is on. I've heard no mention of Leicester Sq. until a second ago, but I'll retract until I've got better information.

Just someone in my office, don't know how true it is, he seems to be well informed on the whole thing.

I'd guess it was planned to coincide with the beginning of the G8, there was no certainty over the olympics so it would make little sense to attack on the off-chance

Prole. The terriosts really want to cause division, unrest and panic.

I don't agree with the war on Iraq etc, but really its time to be united, not split into pro or anti Blair camps. Please leave the politics till later dude.

My family are muslim and they feel sickened by it the fact that they're actually using ANY religion at all to justify their acts! Its so shameful, and I hate them all.

To tell you the truth, Blair should have stayed right away from Bush. There's a lot of discomfort about this.
Naturally, with Iraq & Afghanistan there's going to be more, but the chance of an attack would significantly have been lowered had we not been licking him.

Irony is, that Bush isn't willing to praise Blair or say 'hey there, you had so much unrest from your country's people, but you went ahead and helped' (you get me hah), but the fact that Blair said "oh he's our ally, we have to help him, bush all the way ratatatatat" made him the second target.

I just hope that it's all over.

I've just been told to walk home - central london to tooting-and i don't actually know the way, this sucks

Where did they hear that? I work there.

They could be being overly cautious now tho, it might just be peoples left lunch.

The nature of these kind of attacks is that they do a big round and then leave it isn't it?! It's not like the IRA with lots of small ones so maybe it is over?

I'm walking from Baker St all the way along the Euston Rd to Angel then up to Dalston if anyone wants to join me later today, or help me find a route which doesn't involve walking past billions of major tube stations.

i was thinking/hoping the same thing.

my thoughts go out to all you in london, try and keep safe and i hope you can contact all your friends and family soon.

Yeah, I realise that they're just looking into things in more detail today.
But another one in Leicester Square after the initial ones.
I hope the terrorists die & that (i'm not religious) but God has no mercy on them. They've crippled us entirely.

i dont mean to piss people off. Thats the last thing I want to do today, but theres already been evidence of news filtering and blocking of certain stories that appeared earlier in the day. Earlier, a small story broke that the Israeli embassy was informed before the first blast. That was from ITV news and now that story has been completely buried. Weird thats all I have to say. And again I hope that didnt annoy anyone, I just had to say just in case anybody was interested.

amen to that

Last I heard they were all open as normal

For anyone worried like me about friends&family call the emergancy helpline on 08701566344

Good luck.

All Cardiff transport now down, from what I have heard. Yikes.

"It seems interesting to me that the bombs don't seem to be as powerful as they have been in Madrid.

Perhaps they had to divide their explosives."

I would have thought that a terrorist organisation like Al-Qaeda etc would have enough explosives to sink the whole of London. It's probably just a sign of what they can do and how much disruption they can cause with ease.

One of my bosses was on the bus with the explosion and is very lucky to be alive. The two people that were sitting behind her on the bus are now dead. It's all a bit mental.

Apparently that was a controlled explosion in Brighton, outside the train station in a phone box.

Suspicious packages are blown up on a controlled way incase they are explosives. Experts can blow them up with minimum damage and danger.
