i agree.

yeh.. they spoke to a guy on one of the buses and he said he thought someone lost a foot in the explosion...

the areas are being shut down and cleared out...

I'm not sure if it has something to do with us getting the Olympics.. or the G8 summit...

I'm just glad it's not Canary Wharf or something like 9/11

no I'm not lying...

I'm not 'no_life_in_me'

It's live on the news right now.

that's some scary stuff.....

No kidding?

yeh..they've just reported: a spokesperson for a bus company said there has been some fatalities.

London Hospitals are on Major Alert.

I think they're leaning towards it having something to do with the G8 summit.

Find out what's going on!

Thats bad...

I was across the street, about to go into the station where it all happened, but further down the road.

It was no electrical fault.

lucky man

It was definitely a bomb..

they are saying it has claimed 20 lives...that have been confirmed!

and 90 ppl were injured on the tube.

So have u guys figured out who's attacking?

no..they say it's too early to tell... shrug

OHh... well I hope u guys r safe in ur homes!!

People need to relax.

Yes, it's scary and yes it's tragic that people have died, but we should be thankful that they aimed for disruption not death.

It could have been a death toll in quadruple digits if they chose it to be. They didn't.

Thanks BF, I'm fine.

-AC

They've just showed some pics of the bus that was hit by the bomb.. it's completely torn apart.. the roof is hanging off!

looking at it I can't believe anyone got off alive... it looks really bad.

Sorry! I'm just worrying about u British!

I'm sure the parents of the bus are mourning the loss.

If you're gonna mourn a loss, mourn the people that died.

This is what I don't understand. General public are too shit.

-AC

Ok...

On TV they said it was an Electrical Problem

Well come on.

Why are you going "OMG!" about a destroyed bus? There are hundreds more buses.

Ironically there are billions more people, but, at least mourn something a little bit more substantial if at all.

-AC

They thought it was an electrical problem...but then found it was terrorists....

it's probably a big deal for the 20 ppl that died and their families!!

I know.. they keep telling me that I shouldn't care or something like that.

I was so bored, till u guys told me about the attack.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8492258/

my friends hav family and friends there
and they can't get through on the phones

Thanx for that Ken!

How can you actually claim I'm being an ass?

I'm being rational. Compared to 9/11 we have nothing to complain about. Yes it's sad for those experiencing losses but chill out. Seriously. Could have been alot, ALOT worse.

Infact, how dare you question me in all this? I was more involved than most people on this forum and I'm not stressing as much as you are.

I guess.

Yes It could have been worse... but I don't think it's trivial.

and what has it got to do with you if people want to overreact or feel for the people who have been killed or injured!
just let people express themsleves without you telling them to chill out!

if you don't like how people are reacting then don't post in this thread or just ignore what they say.

and i cant have a shower because my water has been knocked off damn terrorists attacking me with bad hygiene

then why post.. keep your opinions to yourself if you don't care!

Refresh the link I posted, they will keep updating it.

Don't you think it's a little patronising to the people being brave and strong who have actually been through it, that someone not even involved is acting as if they are?

What have you got to be upset about? It didn't actually affect you at all.

-AC

There's a lot of speculation and educated guesses.... don't believe everything you've read or heard.

For example, there's 20 confirmed dead. Could still be many more we're unaware of, or those that could die later from injuries. Plus the injury count is a bit dodgy, too.

Tis a shame to have gone from the live8, to winning the olympic bid, to this

I agree w/ piggy and DarkSword.

Just coz I haven't posted about it..doesn't mean anything!

The French mostly care how they look.

Thats the Italians lol

several bombs exploded in London, not too much info has leaked but they say many is injured, not accounted on death toll as of yet

Around 90 so I hear.

Death toll.

-AC

Yeah, sorry. I'm a bit sleepy that's all.

You're slow there finti.

We already have a thread in OTF,

2 confirmed dead, possible 20 deaths so far. Many injured.

6 total explosions on buses and in the Tube. The British Army has been deployed in central London just in case.

They're saying Al Quaida took responsibility for it.

Yeah, that's what some people believe.

-AC I heard that it was 90 injured at one certain tube station on ITV, where'd you hear 90 dead from?

Exactly my point. Exactly, Ken.

If this was Al Qaida, who have been known to cause deaths in the high thousands with terrorist attacks, shouldn't we all be thankful that they caused disruption primarily?

It's called being grateful for small mercies.

Originally posted by DarkSwordsLady

Why does everyone keep saying "It looks like them"? Are Al Qaida the only people who know how to work out a multiple strike now?

-AC

Yeah!

We can mourn those lost or injured, but like AC said, be thankful it isn't anything bigger. It could be much worse.

It's bad enough as it is though.

i dont get Al Quaida. most people like to promote that their religion is about good relation and peace and happiness. and they premote war and destruction. They give their religion a bad name. seriously what are they actually fighting for? i find their cause stupid.

Well first off, do you actually have proof it was Al Qaida?

No wonder Al Qaida are pissed. Everything gets blamed on them.

You're all too quick to point the finger. It might very well have been Al Qaida, given the time and nature, it looks likely. But it's not certain is it?

Secondly, they don't believe their religion or cause is bad. They believe they are doing good things. Like any brainwashed follower.

-AC

I doubt they mind that Baka said something on an internet forum about them

I doubt that too.

Point being?

-AC

So who is lying? The media or the authorities?

First we hear 20 dead, now it's 2. First we hear 90 injured, now it's 9.

well if they claim its them its their own fault

And have they? You have actual proof that they've claimed responsibility?

If they have, then yes, of course it was them. Until there's actual proof, I'm not going to point any fingers.

Makes me laugh about the quote Ken posted. "Indications of explosives".

Yeah, I'd say the f*cking blast was an indication. Idiots.

Any person or religion will think what they are doing is the right thing. It's the fault in everyone. There are always 2 sides to every story and 2 points of view.

I may think I am in the right and good when I say Al Qaida sucks balls, but they may think they are right in challenging and attempting to take down the "evil" Empires of the world.

Long story short, everyone will think they are right, no matter what.

Personally I think the Media needs to stop reporting death/injury tolls until the authorities hold a press conference. Wait til you get the facts before you report it as news.

I've seen quite a few "Breaking News" stories that get over blown so much it is laughable.

Sure this one is serious, but the Media machine's wheels are already in motion.

his 'people' will tell him what to say anyway...its all fake ...

ANother problem-reaction-solution done by our government just like 9/11 and all the other trillions of historica examples that are now prooavable.

Create the problem, wait for the public to ask "what are you gonna do about it?", then offer the solution.

The solution always advances you're agenda.

The reasons I think these bombings happend is...

Primary: To get the British public to accept the ID card and to accept other civil-liberty and privacy eroding laws and changes. That is the problem-reaction-solution.

Secondary: To divert attention from the fact that the G8 can do **** all about the state Africa is in.

The media is well...

true ...even the Policeman dude said that the media should stop creating a panic .....

it serpost 2 b on tv now but i cant get 2 a tv and i cant find it on the internet

Our police and response units have no clue how to deal with anything.

"Calm down, was a power surge."

"Yeah? Tell that to my ears after I clean the blood out of them."

"Oh...oh yeah. Was a bomb."

The general public are gonna panic anyway, might as well panic them with the truth.

so are you say your supporting them
i didnt even say it was them . i merely mentioned it because they were mentioned but its they love to claim thing like this.

We do not live in a country where our government would sacrafice lives of our own people to promote the idea of ID cards... that's just insane

is there a site online for news info now?

when it was first reported it was said to have been a power surge, then two trains colliding then a bomb.....

Yeah, when there was only one incident it was thought to be a power surge. Following that, AC, they did say it was an explosion as a result of a bomb.

Remember, most of the time when they say to expect more bombings, they don't happen. I've heard Las Vegas on the terrorists "hit-list" many times and have yet to see a single bomb drop, explode, bullet fly, etc.

Could everyone stop quoting "they" when facts are just made up?

He probably heard it from the media.

This is the reaction they want.

Perfect timing for Tony Blair to harness scared people into trusting him again.

Italy and Denmark were probably picked out of a hat to hype up the tension to keep viewers tuned into the news channels during this slow time while the primary investigation is underway.

Hobo's are the men around town, they know everything that's happening. Plus they know where to get the cheapest booze.
