I'm hearing 3 underground locations and one above. Some confusion may
caused by the underground explosions happening between stations...

It does also appear that in one location a secondary devise was found,
perhaps designed to kill 1st responders.

Kings Cross is going to have a high number of deaths apparently.

My heartfelt condolences... the elation of the "Games" to this very low
point.

conclude NOT tour bus.

As a New Yorker, my condolences as well. I love London and
hearing about the destruction, deaths, injuries and the fear
that Londoners will experience as a result for a long time
to come makes me ill. I know people there will respond with
courage, just as New Yorkers did to 9/11.


Terrorism only started on 9/11 for Americans, the IRA existed long
before this. Unfortunately their activity was paid for by American fund
raising.

With all due respect, ******** to that. I was planning to go up to
London tomorrow, and if the trains are running I still will.

As did Madrid, of course. But the Spanish had ETA and Britain had the
IRA - the New York attacks "changed the world" partly because America
was relatively inexperienced at being attacked by terrorists.

Unconfirmed bus blasts seem to be in Marylebone and South Ken. May be
false alarms.

thanks both. I remember posting same on 9/11 or 11/9 as we would
call it, its a pity that the solidarity the west felt at that
moment has dissipated to some extent.
