holy. shit.

this is on the TV over here, live BBC World broadcast

i honestly and genuinely and wholeheartedly hope and pray all our quake3world british friends are all safe and well, and that none of anyone's families are in danger or have been hurt... This is completely fucked up. Best of hope and everything to everyone in London and surrounding areas, please all be well and safe :(

The London police+forces seem to be handling this well.

Thanks, back to drinking and feeling horrible about the world. be safe please.

UK Mobile phone network is jammed with calls? Same with the land line phones as well, apparently.

Fuckin hell, just heard on radio 1 about bits of guts scattered around at one place Ogrish style!
Did I hear right earlier that it *could* be from power surges? Lol. Ive always said never to rely on underground transport.
Its good timing though that Bush is over here, by the end of the week he will be running Blighty & waging war on Frogs! GG.

7 so far I think, 6 at stations and on the underground and 1 bus bomb.

On a personal note I was going to go to Essex today, one of my stops was Liverpool Street Station and I had to get there from Paddington on the underground. Thank fuck I don't travel early.

Now, this is so small and, well, "pathetic" for a large scale attack (1 dead? Pfft) that it leads me ot ask the question...

Is this REALLY a large scale terrorist attack? Or a bunch of frenchies a bit pissed off?

We was warned. Yesterday, about lunch time, when a bunch of hippies was dancing about and a bunch of frenchies was crying. I said to everybody "yeah, its nice news and all, but this is our 911 right there"

That's what I was thinking. A lot of explosives are detonated by cellular phones. The news is saying many people are calling and bogging down the system, but that's not how it works. Everyone has their own signal. There should be enough switches to handle everyone on at the same time.

It’s not other countries we have to worry about. It’s the people already living here. I tell you know, there will be some form of civil war in the UK in the next 10 years.

Check out the fontsize on CNN.com's main page. Annoying.

Al Qaida in Europe claims responsibility. Idiots.
