July 2005 London bomb blasts: UPDATES AND NEWS ONLY - NO DISCUSSION

[madzone]

Thanks for mesages re tetxs. I'll try to text my mate anyway.

 

[AverageJoe]

really...?...source...?

Sky News

 

[Rocket Romano]

Er, where did they do that?

They stuck with the power surge story for a long time

02 confirm they have closed the mobile network in London

 

[William of Walworth]

They found a device in Stockwell Tube now

SOURCE PLEASE!!!!

FUCK

If what Orang is saying is true, 'found a device' = unexploded, and presumably defused.

Lets not panic more than necessary.

God, it's horrific. Thoughts are with everyone in London.

There were ealier reports of a power surge, but the electrical people are now saying that this wasn't right.

Unless it was the coincidence to end all coincidences, I think it's reasonable to assume a connection with the bus blasts. My boss even suggested that the tube blasts were intended to get people on to the buses and then... but maybe that is going a bit far.

Closed? Why?

 

[J77]

BBC site says there are at least 90 casualties at Aldgate station

 

[Lisarocket]

I hate to repeat myself but did STFC loyal say he was on Houndsditch before the second ( controlled?) explosion?

He doesn't seem to be around now....

 

[DuckQuack'sEcho]

If the mobile netwroks are down does that mean that texts can't get through either? (sorry to be so thick )

You're correct.

 

[IntoStella]

Kyser Soze is ok !

Phew.

 

[harpo]

I really think people should get home and stay home if they can. We don't know what else there is.

 

[innit]

Kyser Soze is ok !

Hooray! some good news.

 

[Roadkill]

Kyser Soze is ok !

Thank fuck for that.

 

[William of Walworth]

For fucks sake -- 'Found a device' = UNEXPLODED!!!!!!! and presumably rendered safe.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

fuck...bbc1 said a similar explosion in brighton

Where?

Louis Mac in Brighton

 

[belboid]

Swindon & Brighton stations evacuated now according to the Beeb.

Jesus fuck.

 

[Jelly]

Closed? Why?

are you sure closed - not just reserving coverage for emergency comms?

 

[Cid]

Presumable due to lack of other information - I don't think that much was getting through to the news networks at that point, and those reports were from the underground people as opposed to the police (afai).

 

[Mr Retro]

SOURCE PLEASE!!!!

Shut the fuck up william. Nobody knows whats happened. People want to tell as much as they know.

 

[Wess]

Sky news....several tube stations have reported blasts and army has been sent to covent gardens
