I think the point they are trying to prove is that we will never be safe from them.

There's got to be a few people that have decided today to never use the tube again. And for the many that still aren't scared, a few more scares or explosions will do it for them.

I for one will use the tube and bus system. Never have done before, but wouldn't shy away from it if I had to.

heh.. But imagine, if hardly anyone uses the tube… few months then they’ll have to reduce the underground ticket price, and perhaps the underground trains’ tickets would be as cheap as dirt… hmmm what a thought… I say let’s invest in a tram system, both in Amsterdam and Germany the trams are really good..

This is really weird coincidence of 3 trains and 1 bus again-- perhaps copy cat attack?

At least this time they should get some of the perpetrators alive

LATEST: Tony Blair says incidents like these are designed to frighten people.




Thanks for that illuminating appraisal of the situation.

Also, someone's been arrested by armed police at the gates of Downing Street.

Terrorist suspect or just someone in a bikini?

[dazza12]

There's apparently another one......

Police are investigating a possible suspect package on a Number 37 bus from Putney on its way to Peckham. The bus is off Putney Hill in St John's Avenue.

Also, someone's been arrested by armed police at the gates of Downing Street.

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

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'

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.

Dummy explosions!!!!! any ballistic experts who can shed some light?

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

[SupremeSpod]

Dummy explosions using detonators only have sparked the evacuation of three Tube stations and the closure of three lines, a BBC correspondent has said........
