3 tube station closed because of "incidents"
Anybody know what's going on, or is it just precaution?

Jumping over the turnstile in the current climate is equivalent to driving through a military checkpoint without stopping.
You've a high chance of being shot.
That's just commonsense.

Heh, I just took that out before I saw your post. BUT, it's a possibility anyway.
Old people wear coats in all seasons.
Police don't just shoot people for no reason. So what, would you have preferred he blow up that train along with everyone on it? I'm sure you wouldn't. IF the police had good reason to suspect that he could detonate some form of explosives at any time, then I completely agree with the decision to shoot him.
Easier to get away if people are in the cops way, plus he ran on to the tube as thats a pretty fast way of getting away, but i don't think he counted on the tube no being faster than bullets.
They have said that they don't think he was anything to do with the bombings, which means tthe police just killed him cause he ran, joggers everywhere are in danger.

Why would he run into a crowded train station?

They have pretty much said that they(head police dude) don't think he was a bomber just now on BBC, they even said any deaths were regretable.

I live and travel to London now and again and during the main terrorist attacks two weeks ago I was up in London on my work experience and the truth is I don't really think my plans will change in the future no matter how many terrorist attacks will happen, because to be honest until the train I'm on gets attacked, it won't be that real and the threat that every Tube journey carries is outweighed by the benefits of living an undeterred lifestyle. I know people who got killed in the attacks and I was in Canary Wharf when they put the blinds down, telling us there was a bomb in the building so I know how awful it all was - but even then it's still hard to imagine anything can happen until it does, it's just one of those things you hope and pray doesn't happen but I'll certainly not be too worried going into London.

Yes, Tony Blair is telling everyone to go back to their daily business, but of course he is informed of everything that is going on. So we're all left in the dark. I dont know whether any of them have been caught or killed or if they're all still on the run, etc.
No-one's really saying much about them shooting someone this morning - whether it was justified or not. I'm guessing not, or they'd all be patting eachother on the back.
