Explosions occurred in sequence.
Vitnes tells that he has seen bodies on the tracks on the underground.
BBC.co.uk is obviously getting a lot of hits slow as hell.
This is scary.
Today is the day after the world finds out that London get the Olympics, and its also the day where all the security in britain is up at Gleneagles for the G8 summit.
Lets just hope that July 7 doesn't end up on the same page in history as September 11.
I guess more stuff would have happend at the same time if that was it. It hasn't been 100s of killed yet. But it is still pretty scary. My GF took the SubWay in Londong less then 2 weeks ago..:(..
I'm scared too...
Are you in London now Mend? Or your father? If he is I would advice you too call him and tell him to get out of public spaces, might not be over yet....
They just said that Blair is going to speak.
The latest:
at least 3 bus explsions
CNN is on the scene live
These stations are confirmed evacuated at the moment:

My dad works near Liverpool. I tried calling but can't get through to any number. I'll keep trying.
Mobile phone service is down, Internet is "troubled"
EDIT: Due to overuse.

The cell phone network in London is jammed at the moment - I just heard it on TV. I am waiting to hear from my brother as he is working there at the moment.
Blair speaking in 45 minutes from Scotland
6 bombs in total.
3 busses? 3 subways?
2 confirmed dead. 90 casualties.
Is this confirmed?
no further details as yet on BBC website
I think it's been taken down on purpose given that mobile phones are probably how the bombs were detonated. Land lines will still work.Quote:

2 deaths confirmed, Al Qaeda suspected.
Weird thing though, there was a car bomb near Ealing (West London) at shortly after midnight last night, apparently its the work of an Irish splinter group. This has not had any airtime as far as I can tell. Anyone heard anything else?
Didn't say anything about that in the news in NOrway at least...
The mobile phone network is working, it's just very very busy. (TV News channels are getting video messages from several witnesses etc.)
Police quotes:
"Indications of explosives at one site"
"2 confirmed dead at Aldgate"
Tube targets:
Aldgate
Edgeware Rd
Kings Cross
Liverpool Street
Bus targets:
Tavistock Square
Russell Square
That's because it was on Friday, August 3, 2001Quote:

This is horrific,
facts,
7 Blasts, 6 in the subway and 1 on a bus. At the time of writing 9 Confirmed casulties but this is going to obviously rise. You cant get near london. And they are not as of yet ruleing out suicide bombers.
Hope everyone and there familys are ok.
Liam
That probably explains it then.Quote:

A guy at work just came into our office and said that his daughter had been on the tube, riding in the carriage behind the one that exploded. She rang her boyfriend and he had just got off a bus that shared the same route with one that blew up later on!
Doesn't get much closer than that. Luckiest people in the world. Neither were hurt.
What is lucky is that with 7 separate explosions only 2 people have died.
Isn't the number 2 only for the first explosion? Don't think they have anounced anything from the buss or the other sites yet.
And they are saying that people are still stuck in the tunnels.

Islamic group takes responsebility.
«Secret Organization al-Qaida in Europe»
*not confirmed*
http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,490370,00.jpg
At least 10 killed now...
Only four explosions confirmed.
The group I was talking about that claimed resposebility, is now Threatening Norway, Denmark and Italy. I guess it is since we have all had soldiers in Iraq, and at least Norway have had and have in Afghanistan.

I know that you are just passing on info but maybe stuff from the likes of al-Qaida shouldn't be published.
I was thinking about it. But then I thought. Well it is published on 9999 other web pages all ready. So what does it help if don't. Do you have any suggestions how it can help? If so I will take it away.

Religion! :rolleyes:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4660391.stm
Was that a reason?
We've heard this all before. For some reason its' always the same stuff that gets said from both sides, and so the situation never improves. For as long as this is the case these things will continue to occur.
Yeah I guess. I have been thinking about this a lot today. Yesterday me and my GF desided that we will go to Italy in the end of August. But now they are threatening Italy and Norway too. Guess you are pretty safe if you stay away from the big cities, but you can never bee to sure when it comes to the air planes and the trains. But if you are too scared, and don't want to travell anymore, then I guess the only thing you can do is to sit down in your couth in a house on the country side. And that is not what I want to do, so I guess I will go anyway. Havn't bought the tickets yet though.

And how exactly can you negotiate with such fanatics? When they consider us as the "infidels" they would hardly want to talk, just kill.
What did the people of London (NYC and Madrid too) do to deserve this act? Nothing. If these "warriors" wanted to try and convince the UK to retreat from Iraq this is hardly the way to do it. If anything this will bring more support FOR the war in Iraq, and anywhere else where these terroists hide. Besides, a true warrior would not commit such a cowardly attack on innocent people
Hmmmm, supposed to be going to Florida in 2 weeks too. Great. Smashing. Super. :mad:
I support that thought. This might scare, but countries all over Europe is more then sure to get more hate out of this then feeling pitty for them. And from hate war evolves, not piece.
why don't you go? Nothing you can do to prevent this from happening.

No, exactly. You can't win! If you don't travel, the terrorist have won, if you travel, you might get blown up. However remote the chance is there is still a chance.Quote:

They are religious fanatics, and therefore cannot be reasoned with. The only reason they target civilians is because they are easier targets. Would they try to bomb a military target? No, because they would fail miserably. These people are cowards.Quote:

Targeting these innocent civilians is simply cowardly and frankly unforgivable
Hmm... You have the G. W. Bush cap on. Sure they are religious fanatics, and we probably can't reason with them. After all, most of these people have been brainwashed all their lives! But how can we say they are merely killing innocent people for no reason? Even if they were sick enough to do that, lets look at the hard facts: it costs money and a lot of effort to organise these attacks, they have to obtain things like explosives, etc. They would not go to all this trouble, half of them killing themselves in the process, just to satisfy some twisted dream of killing civilians.Quote:

Instead of trying to wipe them out and merely inciting further hatred in the process, we must work toward a solution somehow. I don't know what that solution would be, but it is not war, and it is not blame.
