US fighter aircraft are patrolling the skies.
I know it a bit morbid what they could do, but you have to think - the innocent people on the plane, or the innocent people on the plane and in the building.

I really don't know what to say. Three, four perhaps planes down. Bombs off, more to come.
What CAN we do anyway? No less or more than sit here and chat, expecting more. It's a bitter truth, but it really is all we can do.
I was scared of America, I still am. I'm scared of putting a man elected because he can throw a baseball in charge of life and death.

Now they believe that there are four planes in the sky that are being closely looked at as they could also head towards american buildings :(
This is terrible... and probably only the beginning.

Believe me, if you were, you'd wish you were right back infront of your t.v.
People are going to need a lot of theropy to get back on their feet after being involved in this.

Right, as much as I know:
Had an email from someone that works in St James Park to say they are being evacuated because of a bomb in Grovesnor Square and Liverpool Street has been evacuated.
This isn't 2nd hand info from someone's mate's cousin who heard it on the web.
This is a mate, scared because he is being evacutated because of, what he says, is a bomb there.
That's all the info I have right now,if he is wrong then I will personally punch him in the face for scaring me and you.
As soon as I can get this confirmed, I will.
But for now, that's all I can say.
