Only one injury to date at Warren Street. Tubes shut down. Taffic jams galore.

How horrible to have to live under threat. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

saftey hugs

According to BBC news, the injured party is thought to be someone who had one of the devices in his rucksack. Again, three trains and a bus, all with detonators only, so no major damage or injury.

Not that that helps.

I'm with you all in spirit.

Many hugs,

Isn't this just horrible. I work in the City and we've all been told to remain in the building for the time being, the whole tube network is down, luckily i catch an overland train, I hope I can get home ok, I always worry at times like this that i won't be able to get a seat on the train, how awful of me

Whereabouts? I currently work at the corner of Shaftesbury avenue and Charing cross road. A nice jaunty walk of 20 minutes will see me to Waterloo

Marvellous.

Interesting the reports on Sky News said that the guy with the rucksack looked 'dismayed' after his explosion backfired!

Anyway, off to see more news.

So the police have shut the road outside my building... and they are not letting us out!

Hmmm, tell me why I decided to work in London???

More later..

He was probably disappointed that he wasn't off to spend the rest of his afterlife with the 72 virgins Jo. If his goal was in fact to blow himself up along with his target, then, sadly, he probably was disappointed when things weny awry. I'll have to check the news for an update--when I left home an hour ago, they thought there was a package still on the bus, speculating that it contained explosives that had failed to go off when the detonator went off.

The thing is, it could very well be that all this group of attackers intended to use was the detonators. As we all know, one of the main goals of terrorism is to spread fear and create chaos, and planting detonators that explode in "mild" fashion achieves those goals as readily as the horrible bombs that killed 55 people. Just the idea that the terrorists once again easily planted these bombs and appear to be stepping up their attacks will be enough to make this attack a complete success. Thank goodness, however, that whatever their sick and twisted motives were, fewer people were killed (zero in fact) or injured (only one I think?) in this round of bombings.

I think there is a wide acceptance here in the States that it's only a matter of time before we get another horrible reminder that evil is still rampant in the world. I pray that I am wrong, and that evidence left in today's attacks help British soldiers and intelligence officers catch the cells behind this.

All of our Brit friends, esp. Londoners such as yourself Jo, are very much in my thoughts today.

My Dear Friends in England,

I am so sorry you are going through this again in such a short pace of time too.

I am not getting all the news yet it is still coming in on the news..
I only have that 4 bombs when off
and one on a bus again

and that they were poorly made bombs and maybe only the detonators when off...

Still it is a very scary time to be living in
My thought and Prayers are with you.

A nice jaunty walk of 20 minutes will see me to Waterloo

Oh lucky you. I had a forced march of 55 minutes to Paddington.

Interesting that the would be martyr was dismayed. I did see one young bearded Muslim looking guy with a rucksack on the Victoria line yesterday morning looking quite beatific but I figured it was because he was looking at the pin-ups in the Daily Mirror so I didn't start to panic.

Ah yes, our Paddington lot managed to hijack a cabby and they all piled in there.

We would have had a longer walk when they shut down Trafalgar / charing cross for the controlled explosion on the strand but because we decided to take in liquid refeshment to fuel the walk, it was all re-opened by the time we stumbled out of the pub.

This is going to get very boring if they keep this up every fortnight.

It's difficult - you don't want to start thinking that everyone is a potential suspect - but it does get you wondering.

Please err on the side of safety, my UKers.

Suspect shot and killed in Stockwell Station this morning and a mosque has been corded off. Seems yesterdays fouled attempts left behind many clues for investigators to work off of but the air is rife with unsettle.
