Looks like an accident rather than anything suspect, and no one dead thank God.

From reports it sounds more than an accident if a bus has exploded as well.

I deleted my original post for being inappropriate, I didn't realise it was so serious.

The corporate news media is telling us it's a power surge on the underground but there is a double decker bus with its roof blown off right outside my flat with bodies lying on the street.

Explosion on bus now confirmed. . . . yes, it is looking less and less like an accident by the minute.

This is starting to look like a mild terrorist attack. Only one fatality reported, on the bus. I wonder if we should expect more?

Cannon Fodder, are you OK?

@Brianetta. Who was that aimed at?

Can anyone see any thing from where they are?

Well there you go, its terrorists isn't it!

I'm shocked, I've heard and I believed that the anti-terrorism measures in London were pretty damn good post 11/09, especially on the underground (such an obvious target!!).

I hope all my friends are ok!!

OML, it was aimed at Cannon Fodder, before the threads were merged. Apparently he's an eye witness.

Well. I hope hes OK then. This doesnt look like it can escalate much more. I bet security is tight now. What do you think of risks to the rest of the country.

Saving grace for those injured on the bus was it was right outside the BMA.

Sounds like it was meant to cause maximum disruption to transport, and it also appears more suspicious packages have been found.

The police are about to conduct a series of controlled explosions. Cannon Fodder won't be back until tonight, probably - chances are he's been evacuated.

Yes @Cannon Fodder, hope you are coping ok.

Another bomb at Houndsditch.

This is looking like the bombs on the busses were meant to go off outside the subways where people are evacuating. Maximum loss of life.

Question is, who?

Provi IRA? Al Queda? Anti-G8? Anti Olympics groups?

Who, indeed. Looking for a plus side, at least the UK is very used to terrorism and unlikely to be disrupted to the extent that the USA was in 2001. 20+ years of the IRA... hell, even my building has a bomb drill as well as a fire drill.

BBC Website is now reporting that two tube trains have collided near King's Cross.

Bishop149 · Post by **Bishop149** » Thu, 7. Jul 05, 12:09

SHIT!!

Russel Square and Kings Cross, my flat is slap bang between those two, and my Uni is only a few streets away. . . . I'm so glad I'm not there at the moment and really worried for people I know, there are reports of 20 dead!!

That is what I was going to say. At least they all have well practiced procedures in place from all the IRA bombs over the years.
