London explosions

tommykjensen · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

Just heard that several explosions have hit London

I hope all POTN members from London as well as their families are well.

Theres very little info, the BBC has a very vague story so far: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4659093.stm

Hope everyones alright.
My brother is living in London somewhere, Ill see if my parents have his number and if he knows anything.

Holy crap, it's looking pretty big. The underground is shot down according to CNN.

Latest reports suggest at least 10 explosions, including 1 or more bus explosions.

We've been advised to stay in our building until further notice.

I hope that everyone and their families are ok.

This is our 9/11

.

Moppie · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

Thier talking about "explosive devices" now.

Hope you've got your camera at work Big B.

Guy I know is on MSN, he says it's business as usual, and people there are used to it and just get on with it. Very odd.

Moppie · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

Well its all over the BBC on chnl1 and Skynews on chnl3 here, and it dosnt look like bussiness as usual to me.
There are guys getting into hazmat gear, and reports that army bomb disposal are getting involved.

Confirmed 2 deaths, and at least 90 injuries.

My mother is calling my brother now, he's living in central London, is he knows anything she'll call me back (assuming he wasn't on a train).

Another sad day.

I've got lots of family around London/Kent.

I'm hoping their ok, and know of several friends etc, who travel via the chube to work.

Let's hope POTN are also all ok, and doing their best at photojournalism, on this terrifying day.

Pekka · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

Terrible.

Claire · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

Hoping everyone who's around London is ok and same with your family and friends. I heard about it when I woke up and just finished recing BBC and Sky News website. Texted my friend and he said his sister is fine and trying to get to their parents place. Will email my other friends when I get the chance.

I think people who live in London are used to living under possible terrorist threats, but this seems to be out of the ordinary. So many places hit at the same time. Heard on the radio there are rumours a bomb has been found, but the police hasn't confirmed it.

I love London, but have to admit I'm happy not to be there today. I used to live not far from Liverpool St and Edgeware road. My poor parents would have been going nuts by now! Once again, hope everyone out there is ok.

I'm in London at Canary Wharf. They've sealed off the estate to vehicles and security is VERY obvious. Nothing seems to have happened here although there are rumours going around. North and East of the city is where all the damage seems to be.

Belmondo · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

My heart goes out to all who are affected by this.

We are not dealing with rational people, and it's only going to get worse until something is done about it.

tonytony · 7th of July 2005 (Thu)

This is so terrible. More than 70 deaths at this stage... and the number is growing

It really is the British 9/11. What a sad day. I can't believe it...

I hope all of you guys are fine and I wish only the best to the family of those involved.

There isn't much to say, just an incredible sadness and rage.
