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!

Looks a bit like a makeshit facemask for someone with facial burns?

Give them their dues, the emergency services have responded fantastically well to this.
And perhaps because of our history with the IRA, there isn't a mass panic on the streets.
It's too early to blame anybody, the main priority is to make sure people are ok.
My sis, thankfully, was 30mins late for work and missed the Liverpool St blast - spent 90mins on a train outisde until it went back the other way.
This is appalling for the people involved, but it could have been so much worse. Personally it looks like disruption was the aim as opposed to massive casualties, but then what the hell do I know?

Carrying someone on a stretcher into a building I think.
Been watching the headline on the BBC homepage change. It's gone from "Blasts paralyze London" to "Two killed as blasts paralyze London" to "Two die in Long terror blasts".

Can someone explain what's going on in that picture?

I think he's shaken by it.
But if I was the PM I would be trying to sound confident rather than sound shaken up.

Tbh Blairs speech sounded and looked to me more like a man trying to sound shaken and concerned. He probably is, but the extent to which he appeared there looked exaggerated, with the long pauses given for effect. Or maybe I'm just a cynic.
A statement on a al queda website caliming responsibility.
Al Queda have apparently claimed that they carried out the attacks.
