9:17am Edgware Rd 3 trains, 5 confirmed dead
9:47am Upper Wogans square Bus explosion: fatalities, no numbers.
Police have not received an official claim of responsibility.
Sounds like a ton of people have been injured... severe burns, broken bones, cuts... not fun.
ReplyDeleteTerrorist brutality is amazing. It’s so strange that they can justify this kind of horrible thing in their minds. The war on terror will never end. They’re just too fanatical and terror attacks are too easy.
ReplyDeleteFlickr group for the bomb blast here.
ReplyDeleteit's now 6pm at night. The bombs went off 7 hours ago and people are apprently stil ltrapped in tube trains underground. this is horible. everyone i know off seems safe, but that doesn't make me feel any better.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're okay Andy
ReplyDeleteI've linked you guys on my site so that my readers state side can see your first hand accounts. Glad to read that you are well. I hope the same is true for your friends, family, and loved ones there. Stay well.
ReplyDeleteJust got home from work. Andy gald to hear you guys are alright. This has been pretty shocking for us I can't believe what it's like there. Hope you get nothing but good news the rest of the day in regards to friends and family
ReplyDeleteAny update Andy? I'm guessing it will be a few weeks before any real information is released on how the attacks were carried out or who was involved. What are the local newspapers saying? What are people at work saying?
ReplyDeleteIt seems clear that terrorist attacks are inevitable... yea we can prevent some, but not all. So how do we change things... is there a solution or is the war on terror going to be "the cold war of our generation."
