Everbody okay, part the second.

For those that haven't heard, there was a series of alerts in London again today. Same thing, smaller scale - three trains and a bus. Last I heard, there was no reported casualties, but some injuries. The current theory is that the detonators went off, but not the 'bombs' themselves, if there are any. This time, there seems to be more concern with the clouds of smoke than anything else, but they sem to have been found to be none toxic or chemical based. Also, armed police have entered a hospital, I'm assuming to arrest the man seen running from a tube train before the incidents occured.

Just heard that one of the bombs is thought - stressing thought - to be a nail bomb.

FB probably knows more.

Anyways, just reporting in that I'm good. Hopefully, so is everybody else.

Crap.

Hope everyone's ok. Sounds like the damage/casualties are lower. But still, the whole country must be in chaos.

You're all in my heart and prayers.

I anm not at work at present but there is 1 injury and at least 1 arrest.
One of the devices (the one at the Oval is 10 minutes walk from home( they're getting closer Tongue )

Most people are angry (some of the people on the tube tried to grab one of the people that dumped a bag. Currently all devices are still in situ as only the detonators went off. Bomb squad will go down and make them safe so everything at this time is speculation by the press.

Everything should become clearer in the next few hours once the Police decide to give a news coverage on the findings. All this taking place on the day the BMA were holding a memorial ceremony.

Other than that three tube lines down and a few road closures but other than that everything is fine though I think there will be a large number of people having second thoughts about how they are going to get home.

I can only say from initial reports everyoone who was in these incidents responding amazingly. They chose not to cower but to leave the tubes and bus and as mentioned before in one case try to grab the person concerned.

For information the one on the bus was the same size as the ones used on the 7th but badly pt together hence it did not go off properly.

Hope this helps update in some way.

Galactor coming to get you, perhaps? ^_^

Well, without facts, all's one can do is speculate. I'm interested in finding out whether or not the two were done by the same group (which would be odd, since the bomb was constructed incorrectly. If two attacks were planned, one would assume that the bombs would be made the same and that if some weren't, they'd be mixed up in the two attacks (some working on the seventh and some working today)). Lots of parentheses in that sentence. Oh well. I'm thinking that this second attack is a "copy." It's all very intriguing.

Not known if by the same group a all the bombers in teh 7/7 attacks died.

Lots of suggestions at the moment:

1) copy attacks
2) another cell within the Uk these ones more amateur

The bombs are similar to the ones used on 7/7 but less well put together. No one is admitting responsibility at this time, so we just have to wait.

Its not too bad today if you dont watch the news that is.

If you do then you would know that at 10am (GMT) police shot dead a suspected suicide bomber.

An alqaeda group as allegedly accepted responsibility for yesterday.
