EDIT: Just pointing out that this post was made long before it was confirmed as intentional explosions.

Well, it has according to Sky News, the news vulture network. Huge red banners and claxons fill your eyes and ears whenever you skip past that channel. From a more reliable source (BBC News), I see there have been power surges and small explosions, which naturally have affected services.

This quote made me chortle:

"As I walked through the bus station I could see people lying on the ground, black, as if they'd been covered in smoke."

Obviously an out-of-towner.

Enjoy your day off work millions of Londoners!

Charles Clarke has said the Tube will stay shut for the rest of today. I'd say it's very unlikely there'd be more explosions, all the tube stations are being searched and controlled explosions are being carried out.

Unless the initial figures are extremely conservative i'm very surprised there hasn't been many more deaths considering the time the explosions went off.

Having gone through on 9/11 what others are going through at the moment trying to contact their family members and friends i know how worried and anxious you must be and i hope they are all safe and well

I wouldn't be surprised if the tube is shut till at least tomorrow morning.
People are going to avoiding it for a while out of fear - although I'm due in town on Saturday and hope it's running ok by then.
I have no intention of letting whichever group committed this curtail my life because, as Bush said a couple of weeks after 9/11, "that would be letting them win"

Because, of course, there are still going to be thousands of people on the tubes and buses in the rush hour this evening.

No they said it's highly unlikely.

Whoever is responsible for this has either cocked up or been merciful. I would have expected far more deaths it that was the intention which is why i'm thinking this is done by people who aren't as extreme or fanatical and (if this is Al-Qaeda linked) by people who have been brought up in this country.
