oh noes - liverpool street station line thingy exploded and now none of the tube stations in london, at all, are working
:01: olympics, here we come :01:
There's apparently been a number of explosions... including a Bus.
Bus confirmed blown up,some fatalities,multiple explosions confirmed,London in chaos
bermondsey tube station is shut down, was there when it happened but i don't know why.
sh*t, I've got to catch a few trains and buses in a bit, hope it doesn't spread to the midlands :fear:
This sounds pretty bad! :(
"Earlier, police said several blasts went off on the London subway system, injuring some people and prompting officials to shut down the entire underground network a day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and as the G8 summit was getting underway in Scotland"

An explosion on an underground train and people were left injured in there for 40+minutes apparently then another explosion on a bus at street level right near the station. Police say they don't know if it's related to terrorism but it sounds like thats what's happened.
Revenge of the french maybe :unsure:
I think a bombs gone off in Liverpool now, think I'll leave the traveling for today :ermm:
Edit: Liverpool Street Station :blushing:
What are the chances of a number of explosions happening by accident or a fault :unsure:
ITV has good coverage, Government just confirmed at least 20 people and expect the number to rise by alot.
Funny thing was that i should be in London right now for a job interview but overslept :shyte:
Nobody knows what the fuck is happening just yet, I think we'd better leave the speculation until we get some concrete facts... It doesn't look good though. :(
20 dead and 90 injured ...... so far....
A very sad day....but I guess it had to happen here sooner or later....:(
Who gone did and done it?
This reminds me of Die Hard 3 :cry:
Just seen picture of double decker bus on tv roof of bus blown off,fuckin bastards
cant connect to bbc news at the minute but they were running a story which says that it was power lines at fault.
@sara where did you get them figures from ?
this comes just after the ppp or who ever it was that took over control of the tube got fined for shite performance.
BBC1 (TV) Says Swindon Station (Not in London) is being evacuated due to a 'serious secruity risk'
Blair will be giving a statement at 12 noon.
itv covering story,government source saying there had been 20 fatalities,police man saying there had been as many as 6 explosiond

we are pretty used to terrorist attacks. im from ealing and we have had about 8 or 9 bombs set off around here by the ira and other splinter groups in recent memory.
this strikes me as something like the madrid attacks so maybe bin ladens lot at work.
hope all london board members r safe and well
What I meant was, that after 9/11 and Madrid...it was only a matter of time....Quote:

EDIT: Reports of a shooting of a terrorist have been denied by police.
DanB's just phoned, he's okay. There's been explosions hear him tho'.
Hope all the other members from London are safe.
This seems to have been meticulously planned. I hope that story of a suicide bomber is false 'cos I doubt he'd be alone.
can someone confirm that a package has been found at stockwell station?Quote:

k, this opens:

It says in the Finnish news (link down below) that there was "about" 6 bombs, 5 in metro and 1 in abus.
Says also that it was a "carefully organized terrorist strike".
There's a chaos in London, the metro-trains net is shut down.
I read about it in Finnish:.
:(
there were 7 bombs , 6 on trains and another on a bus at tavistock square.

:( Just been watching broadcast live from London.
:dry: Appears it is most likely a terrorist attack. I don't understand these people, killing/injuring average people just trying to live their lives. My commiserations to all affected, even if a member of your family/friends are not directly affected it still gets to you.
:) Thanks for the news of Dan Manky, Brenda hope you've managed to contact your sister by now.
:hug:
it seems the bus bomb was a suicide bomb
http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Explosions%2C_'serious_incidents'_occuring_across_London
American news is saying that at least two people are dead. And yes terrorist are taking responsibility for it. We all need to come together and kick these :angry: damn terrorist :angry: in ass
Terrorist that kill innocent people to make there point deserve nothing more then to be lined up against a wall and shot. :angry:
anyway, now that I have vented, this is really a :cry: sad :cry: day in London, My prayers go out to them!
