London Subway

[Scummbuddy]

I'm sorry England, but seven explosions just tore up the Subway system over there. I haven't heard any one hurt, but I can only hope that these terrorists didn't take anyone out in their psycho bombings. I just heard that it took place at a potentially busy time.

My deepest sympathy.

[Privateer Puddin']

London was always going to be busy at the time. I'm not quite sure exactly how many explosions there have been or the damage they have done, too many mixed reports at the moment.

[Las Naranjas]

It's unfortunate too that any prospect of an African centred G8 summit has been scuppered. It claims victims in a wide radius I guess.

[Adamski]

Explosions at 6 tube stations and on 3 buses. Dave Gilbert is supposed to be flying back to New York today and was staying in the city, and I think AGA, scotch, Creed and Iqu are supposed to be travelling home through London. I hope they're all safe 

[Flippy_D]

It's pretty horrible... and I'm worried that Las may be right; that hadn't occured to me.

I was in London meeting up with some special just last week. She would have been in Liverpool Street Station at this time. Luck and bad luck are strewn equally.

I hate these fucking people. I really hate them.

I hope everyone is okay.

[Haddas]

I also hope they're safe. Damnit. Some claim it's a flaw in the metro electrical system, but 3 buses blowing up isn't really dependant on that. I think it's an attack. I really REALLY hope everyone is safe.

BBC Report
Just heard about it on the radio, and my first thought was "Who's still at Brittens? Are they OK?" The worst of it looks to be on the other side of London, but it's still going to be hell for anyone travelling through the city.

[Chicky]

It's fucking terrible. Two of my friend were traveling to meet someone in london today i almost went out of mind when i heard about it. Lucky for them they hadnt reached london yet, about 20 miles away. I really hope everyone is okay, the Britteners are on my mind too; god i hope they're okay.

[auhsor]

Man this is really bad. I heard it on the radio and its on TV now. I think its been confirmed that there have been 2 fatalities. I hope there arn't any more and that all you Londoners are all safe.

[Chicky]

2 fatalities? more like 20...

[magintz]

The numbers haven't been confirmed yet, all they have confirmed are 2 deaths, but i'm sure there will be plenty more when things clear up.

Tony Blair is returning to London for the evening from the G8 thing.

[jetxl]

I think Dave Gilbert is in London sight seeing.
Lets hope he's okay.

I don't know what to say...

I really hope all the Britteneers are ok, and ofcource anyone else, but watching at the reports anywhere... there have surely been way more casualities than just two

[Paper Carnival]

Yeah, I heard about it too . This is really terrible. I just woke up and the first thing I saw when I went to the kitchen was "2 deaths, 185 injured" on the TV. The deaths are going to be more than that, but let's just hope there wen't too many

[Las Naranjas]

The Londoners on the news seem remarkably calm, especially when you consider that the cameras would be looking for the hysterical and screaming since they make more dramatic footage.

Stiff upper lip, what what.

[Mr. Mozzarella]

I've been to London last Friday and I used the tube ... 

"It is particularly barbaric this has happened on a day when people are meeting to try to help the problems of poverty in Africa and the long term problems of climate change and the environment.
"Just as it's reasonably clear this is a series of terrorist attacks, it's also reasonably clear, that it is designed and meant to coincide with the G8."

if this is true it's just sick.

[Eggie]

This is pretty much shitty. Al Quaeda's supposed to be involved now, my dad's been called into work and Tony Blair's caved in and is on his way home.
From what I've seen on the news everything seems to be under control, and no more deaths have been reported...yet.
Essentially I think it's safe to say "Don't worry, world. We're going to be okay."

[Barbarian]

Just terrible! Ã, 
Why do some people in this world have such little or no value for human life?

Why can't these people that do such horrid acts just "live and let live"? So what if someone is a different race, has a different culture, or different religion or whatever it may be... that is still never any reason to commit such terrible acts.

As crazy and messed up things are in this world, I don't think I will ever comprehend these senseless acts of violence which hurt, maim and kill so many innocent people.

My prayers and best wishes go out to all affected by this and other similar tragedies.

It's awful that these things have to happen. I'm portuguese and as my brothers say "from the Azores Summit, Lisbon is the one who's missing", well I hope not. First the United States, then Spain, now England. Since September 11 and March 11 thatÃ,  there are security tests on our Lisbon Subway but we sometimes think, and as today was proven (London has a much better security system) that maybe won't be enough, specially on rush hour.Ã,  There's no reason to do such attacks, they are not muslims, they are only doing it for their radical beliefs. Such attacks only cause more racism between white and other people, and I understand that not every muslim is a terrorist. But I know what is like to have the fear of a terrorist attack: one of my older brothers was in Madrid, at a Fashion Fair (he's a designer) when the March 11 attacks ocurred; you probably can't imagine my panic when I tried to reach him at the phone and got no answer; luckily he suffered no harm, but he saw the pavillion next to his being transformed into a huge morgue as bodies were taken to it. I don't know if I was saying that "not every muslim is a terrorist" if something had happen to him, I'd probably be filled with haitred and those type of feelings; none of this should had to happen.

God have mercy on the souls of those who perished.
As we will probably know in the next hours, there shouldÃ,  be a lot of them.

[Layabout]

All the agsers who were leaving today are ok. Havent heard from dave gilbert though, but he should have been at the airport at the time the bombs went off.
