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!

Yeah you're right I picked up on that and a few of my posts were definitely insensitive.

Me and Monkey_Man are ass-hats.

I think monkey_boy made the first post before the full reality of what had happened came to light - at first it was thought to simply be National Grid power surges that tripped a load of circuit breakers.

Yeah, but in all fairness monkey posted it before it became known what the hell happened.

If the trains are running tomorrow I expect no bags/hand luggage etc will be allowed on.

I get the feeling this could just be a warning.
I mean ... as bad as it is / was ... it could have been a hell of a lot worse, very easily.

If they wanted to kill people, they haven't done very well.
And if they wanted to bring London to a standstill ... I suppose they did, if only for half a day, serving no real purpose.

But as a statement, it highlights just how easy it is to do something like this, because there is literally nothing anyone can do to stop it.
