Bombs have gone off in London this morning .. targetting theunderground, and busses ...there have been reports now offatalities.

Sercurity is solid up at Gleneagles for the G8 summit, so this is a perfect time for terrorists to attack London.

Please spare some thoughts for people.

This is terrible. I just hope there is no-one I know got hurt.

90 injured, 90 dead (and rising)

Tony Blair will be giving a statment at noon.

As far as I'm aware there are only 2 people confirmed dead .. just been on BBC1 news.

 

[Zee]

On the news here, they are saying different.

 

[Saffy]

Perhaps they're hushing it up a bit over here ?

 

[Saffy]

The BBC are still only reporting 2 dead .. but I think you're right Zee ...

Oh my! :shock: I have friends over there! This is horrible!

 

[Saffy]

There have been reports of a suicidebomber being shot at Canary Wharf .. I don't know whether this is trueor just a rumour .. no doubt we will know for sure later.

There are a good number of people trapped in a carriage on theunderground at Kings Cross - that doesn't bear thinkingabout. (I think that's where the major fatalities willbe)

My thoughts are with everyone with friends/relatives in London today.

I just spoke to my mum, as she is there at the moment.

They have closed Brighton Station (my home town) due to a package.

They believe it was Al Quieda (sp)

My comments would be along the line of:

You beep beep, why do you have to do these beep things. You get the general idea.

Thanks god no-one I knew was in London today.

I woke up to this news. My best friendis over there right now and she called to tell me what had happened andthat she was fine. The poor girl lived 2 blocks from theWorld Trade Center on September 11.

My thoughts and prayers will be in London today.

Reports we are getting here in Oz are very vague, we have pay tv in ourhouse (cable) and we get Sky news, which is here in Oz and the UK, andthere is a whole channel for just news and we have been watching Skynews UK.

I hope any members here who have family or are living in the UK are safe and ok.

We ourselves have family and friends over in the UK, they are safe and away from London.

It certainly looks as though they are terrorist attacks but from who no one has said yet.

My thoughts are with all of you "pommie" members and your families.

What is amazing me at the moment is the cricket is still continuing,it's 10.42pm thursday night here and we are watching cricket live, andhere it is, ozzies versus the poms, maybe they think that no matterwhat has happened cricket must go on??? who knows.

I just saw the headlines on Yahoo. I'mnot sure how new they are, but it's reporting 2 deaths aswell. I'm at my brother's and I don't know any of the newschannels here....I'll have to look.
