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

[pennimania]

My husband works in the Lloyds building - he is in some underground place right now - I have spoken to him and know he is safe

but I am not sure where my son is right now and O2 seems to be down.

This is shite

 

[john x]

I don't have a choice! I have to get a visa by 5.30 this evening.

The thoughts of all us Cardiff U75ers are with you all and I hope everybody is ok. If anyone happens to know my friend Lizzy Nazer who spends a lot of time in the affected area then please PM me as i can't get through on the mobile. Long shot i know but i'm getting a bit frantic.

Agreed. to the fuckers responsible.

Take care out there london u75.

 

[KeyboardJockey]

the police are advising people not to come to central london, the army is on the steets, central london zone 1 is completely closed off

Doesn anyone know if pedestrians are getting out of Z1?

 

[R.I.C.O.]

Tell the jobsworth cunt to go fuck himself.

Hear hear

The sister in law of one of my colleagues was in the carriage on the train at Kings Cross that blew up. Apparently she is in hospital but she called her husband so hopefully she is ok.

Everyone told to stay where they are -- and thats probably best... (Source: Met Commis on BBC)

 

[nosos]

Has there been any word on how long the phone network will be down for? Kind of worried about various peeps & not being able to get hold of them is just making it worse.

 

[alco]

My sister's in Brighton! What's happened to Brighton?

I live there - minutes from the station - haven't seen or heard anything.
BBC news says the station has been evacuated.

 

[marty21]

just been on kingsland road...buses are still running towards liverpool st, but are terminating in dalston...

 

[knopf]

Have you got a link?

It's on the "ticker" at the top of the BBC news front page.

 

[two sheds]

explosions

Advice on radio to people is to stay where they are apparently, and don't call the emergency services unless situation is life threatening. They'll be updating.

i don't rate your chances

 

[sonik]

Innit get yourself home, walk and let us know when you get back. Don't go to work!! Be Safe.

 

[Tank Girl]

Kyser Soze is ok !

phew!

thoughts out to those waiting on news.

just going to walk home now.

 

[Oxpecker]

I obviously picked the right time to be in Wales. Unfortunately a lot of my mates are still stuck on the front of tubes and so out of touch; I have no way of finding out if they're ok

Bloody hell, what a mess. No matter how much we prepare for it, it's still stomach churning.

 

[tastebud]

the phone network being down adds to the worry of this

 

[xes]

Kyser Soze is ok !

thank fuck,cheers for letting us know

 

[flimsier]

Tell the jobsworth cunt to go fuck himself.

Fucking right. Twat. My wife was told to walk to work earlier this morning when it started and I wish I'd told her not to.

 

[Stobart Stopper]

We still can't get through to the police station, I suppose if they need him they will call. The army is on the streets now so they will provide lots of support. What a fucking awful day.

 

[Bob_the_lost]

Apparently all bus services and tram services in central Manchester have been suspended.

Overreacting, non?

Not really no. Merely sensible.

Transport links are being targeted, thus shut down all transport. If they didn't and there was a bomb there...

 

[belboid]

Tell the jobsworth cunt to go fuck himself.

actually, it's probably a very safe decision (tho he sounds to have announced it in a highly cuntish way). Bombs are going off on transport, not in offices, so stay in the fucking offices.

 

[J77]

police say 6 blasts - bbc

 

[Rocket Romano]

Has there been any word on how long the phone network will be down for? Kind of worried about various peeps & not being able to get hold of them is just making it worse.

As long as the situtation requires probably. At least not till around early evening I'd guess?

 

[Wookey]

Live Blair statement at noon. Shit.

 

[Poi E]

Prepare for the full use of the powers under the Terrorism Act.

 

[Chuff]

My wifes in central London but she got into work before it kicked off Though how the whole of London is going to get home on foot is anyones guess.

 

[fanta]

Told to stay in offices in Victoria St. Sirens galore. Shit.

 

[harpo]

I don't have a choice! I have to get a visa by 5.30 this evening.

Today is not a normal day John. There may not even be staff there, the office may be closed. try ringing them on a landline if you can
