Dummy explosions would be "bombs" that contain no real amount of explosives but rather just the amount that is normally used in detonators. Unless you lay on top of it would be unlikely to kill you but would cause one hell of a large bang and minor damage/injurys

Something seems very strange about the news sites and radio. Almost as if there's an agreement to blackout any news in order to stop the panic seen on the 7th.

For instance, nothing seems to have been reported about Shepard's Bush or Oval. We've heard a bit about the bus and Warren street - possibly the only two that definately failed to go off properly.

It feels like small snippets are being drip-fed to the news stations. Even the police at the scene have told bystanders that they are not allowed to say anything about what has happened.

I wouldn't be suprised to find out this evening that it's more serious than we are being told.

Quote from Sky News Webtulipe...

Scotland Yard have confirmed there is an incident involving armed police officers at University College Hospital in Bloomsbury close to Warren Street station.

An internal memo to staff at the hospital has warned them to be on the lookout for a black male, possibly of Asian origin, about 6ft 2ins tall, wearing a blue top with wires protruding from the rear of the top.

There's a gonna be a hangin'

Chaos and confusion

Must have some important bills to table in parliament.

Maybe they are going to make telescreens compulsory along with smoke alarms in all houses
