Explosions occurred in sequence.

[NoteMe]

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.

[NoteMe]

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....

[mendhak]

I'm scared too...

[NoteMe]

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....

[dglienna]

They just said that Blair is going to speak.

The latest:
at least 3 bus explsions
CNN is on the scene live

[NoteMe]

These stations are confirmed evacuated at the moment:

[mendhak]

My dad works near Liverpool. I tried calling but can't get through to any number. I'll keep trying.

[dglienna]

Mobile phone service is down, Internet is "troubled"

EDIT: Due to overuse.

Might also be because the power is down in parts of London at the moment. BBC went off the air because of it...

[NoteMe]

My dad works near Liverpool. I tried calling but can't get through to any number. I'll keep trying.

Hope everything is ok with him. You might be able to reach him by mail though?

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.

[dglienna]

Blair speaking in 45 minutes from Scotland

[NoteMe]

6 bombs in total.

3 busses? 3 subways?



2 confirmed dead. 90 casualties.

[jas4th]

Is this confirmed?

[jas4th]

no further details as yet on BBC website

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.

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.

[NoteMe]

Is this confirmed?

Sky News are saying it is confirmed. The london plice said at LEAST 5 bombs.

[NoteMe]

Sky News are saying it is confirmed. The london plice said at LEAST 5 bombs.

And now they are saying AT LEAST 6 explosions..and the two dead people are confirmed.

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?

[NoteMe]

Didn't say anything about that in the news in NOrway at least...

[si_the_geek]

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, 2001

[dglienna]

Blair leaving the summit to be briefed, and return tonight. He looked shaken up.
Said he's 'reasonably sure that it's terrorism aimed at the G8 summit"

[si_the_geek]

Updated sites:
Tube targets:
Aldgate
Edgeware Rd
Kings Cross
Liverpool Street
Russell Square
Moorgate

Bus targets:
Tavistock Square

[NoteMe]

So it is 7 bombs now, and only ONE buss? hmmm

[jas4th]

definately a bombing - photos on news.bbc.co.uk

[NoteMe]

Yeah, not much else can do this:

[Pino]

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.

That probably explains it then.

[jas4th]

I've heard it's suicide bombers

[wossname]

My cousin is in London and is trying to get a cab back to Romford.

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.

[Valleysboy1978]

What is lucky is that with 7 separate explosions only 2 people have died.

[NoteMe]

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.
