I am am sitting almost next door to it all.
The current story is that there was a power surge on at aldgate. No causualties and reports of "walking wounded"

How the heck am I going to get home. Does this mean I have to sit in the pub till things get running again.

Wow, this sucks. I hope it wasn't a terrorist attack, but it looks that way.

I just got out of London and so far there has been 6 train station explosions and 3 busses.
London is now completely closed off and only emergency convoys are getting in.

CNN just reported bomb blasts in London in the Underground and on Double Decker buses. The Underground has been shut down but they don't know about casualties yet.

A post i made on another forums, whats i know so far:
Causes not entirely sure, bombs have been thought to have been the cause but police have said explosions occured at:
Kings Cross, Old Street, Aldgate, Edgeware Road and Russell Square.
Early reports are suggesting at least 3 bombs on buses and related power surges.
*edit:
several fatalities confirmed.

double decker bus was blown up, most lily people have died, 'bodies laying everywhere'
also a attack on the tube aswell,
only casulty reports, however i suspect soon for a death count to come in...
but it was perfect timing just after the announcement on the olympics :/

The news channels are running round like headless chickens - so not sure what the actual state of play is london-wide.
I live Just up the road from Liverpool Street and Loads of Sirens and stuff zooming past to the stations (moorgate and aldgate east which are also only a couple of mins away have incidents as well I believe).
But basically no idea what is actually going on.... is probably going to take a while for the news channels to calm down and stop trying to 'break news first' and actually report facts.

Seems there are two or three theories on it...
1) Some power surge on the underground took out Aldgate.
2) Some other underground 'explosions'* are at other tube stations.
3) Some buses might have popped.
*Explosions _could_ have been caused by bombs, but that's speculating.

I heard initially it was put down to a power surge, but now buses are being destroyed and power companies are reporting no problems.
I wonder who is going to claim responsibility for this? I wonder what level of retaliation will take place this time......

I think at the moment the news channels are just running with any rumours they can find.
This was apparent when interviewing an eye witness and the news presenter was saying 'apparently there were 2 explosions in russell square (in a bin and on a bus)' and the eye witness says 'no just the bus - no other explosions here.
Really they have a responsibility to at least try to deal with facts as best they can - not try to be the first with everyting.
I would rather wait half an hour and get decent reporting rather than watch half an hour of 'omg bombs here and there - oh no just here - but wait what about this - reports coming in about...... oh it's not there but here instead. lets now go live to some poor sod on his mobile who was in the train when the explosion happened and badger someone who's probably in shock for information they have no way of knowing..... Bob - was it a bomb or a train collision - I don't know i've never experienced either but I would guess it's a bomb'
They even said to one bloke after speaking to him for 5 mins - stay on the line while we got to this repoter becuase we want to speak to you again - and he had to say - sorry I can't hang around I've got to find my girlfriend who's waiting for me.
I can't help getting the feeling that the news channels get some kind of rush out of it - which is a bit ghoulish.

Not the Irish? Does anyone here REMEMBER the Docklands bomb?
Then again, since it has been shown that IRA splinter groups have worked with Al Quaeda before, how different is it? Just be careful if you send troops into Belfast please? I've got a great aunt living there...

I remember someone saying that back in 93 right before the PIRA almost took out the St Ethelburga's Bishopsgate church.  I wouldnt put it past them.

Looking at it, it could have been alot worse.
Not good anyway, nobody deserves it. The only hope that you can take from things like this is that it helps awareness and vigilance to hopefully help prevent future attacks.
Little doubt it will happen again.
My sympathy goes to those involved, and the familys that will suffer.

No one is "too f'in stupid" to do anything.
They just need to be sufficiently pi$$ed off to act in this manner.
That kind of 'we're superior they're imbeciles attitude' doesn't help matters.

I would think its best to hold on our theories and snap judgements until the authorities (who have more intelligence resources than us) can find out whos responcible.
This is harsh, as a English bloke I'm furious and ofc my sympathy goes to anyone caught up in this world wide madness.

yeah and since all they've managed is faulty bombs that didnt go off and to be ripped apart by UKSF and British Intelligence.
Ive not heard about the IRA being linked to Al Quaeda. But you know that the IRA was and still is funded by American Citizens too? Who donate money knowing exactly whose its going to and what for.
