Smoke coming from stations. Suspicious passenger with exploding backpack!
And a bus "incident"
Breaking news!
Doesn't sound so big. An eye vitnes says that guy was carrying the bag when it exploded. And since no one is reported hurt yet. Not even the guy carrying the bag, then it must have been small.
These stations have reported suspicios events:
Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush.
- ØØ -
Nail Bomb reported in the subway
A new vitness says that the guy carrying the bag looked dissapointed after the explosion..:D:D:D:D
The explosions seem to be detonators only.
Entire subway shut down.
Uncorfirmed (Sky news):
Bomb on a buss?
Shooting?
One person is hurt...:)
Well this is weird, is this people playing a warped joke, or someone trying to prove security measures are pointless.
Perhaps they are jihadis with memory problems.
"think,think.what have I forgotten?"
"bag,check"
"detonator,check"
"ticket,check"
"semtex,doh!"
Windows of the bus blown out
Is there any way to build a small bombproof chamber that everyone has to rapidly pass thru before boarding buses, trains, planes?
With the technology to send an em pulse powerful enough to detonate any bombs that the person might happen to be carrying before they get on?
If there was anything remotely usable like that I'd imagine Israel would be using it already.

Seems quite serious...well serious enough to bring Londons infrastructure grinding to a halt again. Nice to see, after 1st reports, that the only person known to be injured was the person actually carrying the "bomb".
Woof
Seems like they were all detonators, designed to scare rather than hurt.
I'm going to guess that this is the work of some twisted sicko copycat who wants his 15 minutes of fame :(
Interesting that the Americans hear about bombs in London before us Brits :D The USA are deporting their terrorists to the UK!!!! :eek:

its slow, though, and what are the consequences?
Perp might get arrested.
With a bomber-zapper, the consequences are a bit more severe and permanent.
Plus, it makes a nice boom!
:wave:
Blair just said that there were 4 explosions.
They allegedly caught a perp in the hospital that others chased out of the subway.
Creating a whole new game:Quote:

Then they just detonate themselves while waiting in line with everyone else to pass through the machine.Quote:

. . . and they've left loads and loads of evidence,too :thumb:
Hope its enough evidence to find them.
Just read there were explosives in the bags with the detonators. They must have mixed up a bad batch of explosives or something. Thankfully.
Heard people were coming out covered in white dust - which could be tatp (tri acetone tri peroxide). A favorite of Al Qaeda. But it sounds like the bomb maker screwed up, it's got to be mixed very precisely otherwise it's to hard to set off, or can go off after just a bump. If their gear didn't get blown to bits, which it sounds like it didn't, I'm sure there's a boat load of evidence there. Sure hope so anyway.
Yea, it looks like they failed massivly, and to be honest they are so going to wish they didnt, if they get sent to jail. There life isnt going to be worth living they will be lets say... i'll leave you guys to think about it.
but good news is no seriosu casultys just yet!
Tube train has been evacuated at Stockwell. There is an ongoing incident and shots have been heard.
The Northern Line has been suspended.
Scotland Yard have just confirmed they've shot someone on the Northern Line
Link...we cannot find the link that "confirms" this.
Woof
Armed Police surround Mosque in East London says BBC headline ticker . . .
Who needs the BBC news when we have VBForums? :)
This is so cool, our police PWND some dude. Jumped on him and blew him away. Sounds like something the KGB would have done. Maybe the guy hadn't paid for his train ticket. :D
Anyway its about time our police force grew a pair.
Way to go SO19 :thumb:
Update:
SKYNews: "London police on 'shoot to kill' orders if they believe someone is about to detonate a bomb".
Surely this could set off a bomb itself?
PWND?
Woof
The same guys as last time are claiming to be behind the whole thing again....I guess they are running out of bomb makers these days..:) Next time the bomb will actualy heal people....

... man this bombing stuff is getting bad now. There all freaking sheep...I feel sorry for 'real' muslims who actually listen to their religion. Nowhere in islam does it say go blow your self up and you are good.Quote:
"One of them was carrying a black handgun - it looked like an automatic - they pushed him to the floor, bundled on top of him and unloaded five shots into him."
Another passenger on the train, Anthony Larkin, told BBC News the man had been wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out".
:angry pino:
I'm going to be glued to BBC.co.uk all afternoon now.
Look you Norwegian muppet...what does PWND actually stand for?
Pull Weapon Now Dead?
:confused:
Also, you got a link to the people who confessed?
Woof
People keep saying "automatic" handgun. I never realised Scotland Yard had started issuing its officers with Tec 9's.
Although that would be sweet.
*holds machine pistol sideways*
