Multiple explosions in London
Three tube trains and a bus hit. What really brings it home to me personally is that most of the explosions were in places I know well and on routes I've often used - and did use only yesterday.
Two confirmed deaths at the moment but I fear this number will increase.

Weren't there seven bombs? Six placed in the subway and one on a bus (or was it three buses)? A very tragic event.

Because the tube train bombs went off between stations they were initially reported by each station, the latest from the BBC is that they now think it was three bombs on the tube and not six.

33 deaths now confirmed on the tube alone, no figures from the bus.

Seems like there will be a lot more confirmed deaths. A Norwegian net-paper estimated at least 40 dead and over 1000 wounded (though they also said there were 7 bombs).

Really?
When I last checked the news there were only 4 bombs and 3 deaths. Has there been more since noon-ish?

It's a #$!#$ shame. Time to send out "the flying squad" and do some damage. :-(

You gotta love the Brits and their calm attitude to the bombings. Hardly no panic, the Londoneers rather seem annoyed that they can't meet their friends for a cup of tea.
You Brits rule!

Is everyone O.K. over there, mooters & their families? How f-ed up, so very sad and infuriating. I've got my heart in England (was born in Hastings, have many relatives in Kent) and have been wanting to get my English passport and leave L.A. and go to London for a while, after I sell a script here (!) and this horrific, chickens-t bombing makes me want to go to London even more, solidarity and all. Mooters of England, my heart goes out to you all during this awful tragedy.

To who? And how is that exactly going to help anyone? I'm very upset about it as well, but this isn't a time to be saying things like that. |
