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

[Cloo]

Two girls from my office both accounted for )one of them wasn't previously) - they were on one of the buses and are both in UCH, in a stable condition. One has a collapsed lung.

I did say - "make of it what you will" - knowing Fox News penchant for bullshitting.

if your colleague can get down to the 19th floor she can come and sit in our office, sunflower, there's quite a lot of us in here.

I've just tried ringing the office and the phones are diverted to Head Office in the West End so hopefully that means shes been evacuated. Thanks Kea. Are there no plans to evacuate the MG?

 

[Streathamite]

[jugularvein]

They are not letting anyone out of my husband's office on Oxford Circus and have made them pull all the blinds down.

 

[Fuzzy]

Here in Camden, we're still getting the odd siren screaming past us & the streets are desserted. It looks like I might not be able to get home tonight but a work mate has offered a place to crash if need be...

i'm not even in london and i cant concentrate on my work.

I have got to say that, even though there has been a step up of security, this has been a very lame terrorist attack compared with those across the water. I have a feeling that this is not a large terrorist network, though if it is they are losing their touch slightly.

 

[Wess]

50 confirmed dead.....

 

[Mr Retro]

Where abouts on TCR are you? I'm in the internet cafe upstairs from Sainsburys

Lame? I think not.

It has caused maximum disruption from relatively small recources. It's a text book terrorist operation.

That isn't news...if you've 'got to say' it then take it elsewhere.

I'm in Australia ..world news SBS.
here....

Italy's interior minister has put the death toll at 50, however this figure has not been verified.

It says this on the website but on the TV they just said that they had confirmation of 50 fatalities...hopefully not.
