Explosion reported by colleague at Parsons Green tube, any news?

 

[Thimble Queen]

There are a few scant stories talking about facial burns and firey buckets. Doesn't sound good

 

[Guineveretoo]

The reports I have seen said "explosion" - has someone reported the possibility of a bomb?

crap bomb in a lidl bag.

perfect

 

[Guineveretoo]

Looks like most of the reported injuries were sustained from people trying to flee, scraping against walls and trampling on each other!

Well one of the TFL blokes I know here has just be called into work on his day off. I suspect it may be kicking off on the underground today.

ETA: Said to him it may just been a build up of gas, spontaniously (sp) in the bag but anyway he's been called in to help I guess

one victim reported with burns apparently. central London/ Zone 1 seems awash with sirens

I wonder if they bought it in the aisle of treasures?

I'm not surprised there were injuries - having been evacuated twice recently from tube stations, the hysteria of some commuters is off the scale

If it were me, I wouldn't have stood there filming the fucking thing. Potential Darwin Award candidate there.

& state of all the news orgs begging to use their footage for free.

 

[not-bono-ever]

With everyone transfixed by their phones and nodding to music on their headphones , it may not be surprising that the commuter vigilance of yore seems to have eroded somewhat

 

[not-bono-ever]

My lidl transfixed and obsessed early teen boy has already quipped on this incident. I would quote it, but you oldies would not understand . I barely do

"I always said Lidl was lit"

there you go. teen dark humour.

 

[trashpony]

Apparently at least 17 people suffered facial burns. I expect that number would have been less if half of them hadn't been standing there filming it

I don't get it.

 

[Schmetterling]

I don't get it.

If something is good then it is 'lit'.

 

[Lambert Simnel]

Why Parsons Green?
Thats a Christian thing innit.

Well they have declared it a terrorist at now. Guess that bag of fertilizer was a bomb then.
