Doesn’t seem like a terrorist attack to me TBH, or at least not of anyone who might spring to mind – it’s not exactly like the places would be maximum casualty targets.
I may yet be wrong on this but I’m just firmly of the belief that the moment you start thinking anything bad must be ‘the terrorists’ then you’re letting terrorists win. Note the word ‘terror’ in their name. I don’t doubt the threat but frankly they can fuck off if they think I’m going to live in fear of them.

Just been down to Edgeware Rd which is completely cordoned off. Loads of police and fire engines. Looks pretty serious. Rumours flying around but most people are saying it's a power surge that's caused the explosions. Fuck, hope it's not too bad.

This is our 9/11.
My husband is here as he's off with a bad back. As soon as the news came through he said "bombs", 20 years of policing he's done, don't believe this shit about power surges. If you are in central London now get the fuck out, walk.

CNN have taken the power surge tagline off the air (could just be updating like)

Firstly, they are exactly places like that, and secondly, they would aim for maximum disruption. Assuming it is an attack, this is exactly what would could have expected.

his little casualty
A bus has exploded in Russell Square (Sky News).
Shit this is scary. All the people who have been evacuated from the trains are now in the streets, and now a bus has exploded. People are saying it was a bomb. I really hope this report is wrong

I really hope this report is wrongCNN now quoting
'Casualties following major incident believed to be a series of explosions on Londons' Underground'
'Metronet who maintain affected lines say linked power surges' are 'most likely' the cause'

Im listing to it on 5live, it sounds pretty serious at the moment. BBC site doesn't seem to be working. They are saying 'Power Surges' now, somthing to do with LU being on national grid.
