This may sound stupid and disrespectful,But atleast it was only a minor Attack compared to 9/11-madrid and i believe that it was only minor because we we're well organized equaling we're on the winning side of this battle
Don't agree with that. It was only "minor" because 2 of the the train bombs detonated in wider diameter tunnels. If they had gone off 2 min later (or so) the death toll could easliy have reached the 150 mark. Evidence from the Kings Cross train tells us that we were "lucky", Current death toll at KC is 21 with an estimated 20 bodys trapped in the wreckage. And this was a single train tunnel.Quote:

Probably just overly paranoid events....
It can't be much really, considering it happened about 7:30 apparently
I think the bus one was done on purpose as a symbol and photo for the media.Quote:

just a theory
Don't know if anyone read the front page of the Guardian today. It was an account by one of the rescuers trying to work on the train in the Kings Cross tunnel.
The tunnel isn't much bigger than the carriage itself, and its so far underground that they're having real problems. He was describing how there were people with no limbs left, screaming for help and the carriage was dripping with blood. They had to crawl through mangled bodies and assorted body parts to reach survivors because the tunnel was blocked.
My dad was headed for the BMA building when the bus went up, he was a few minutes away, otherwise he would have been one of the people responding.
There have been a rash of bomb scares all over the place, of which most of them I'm sure are hoaxes, and to my mind those hoaxers need the book, and the bookshelf throwing at them.. idiots.
Yep - it's spreading fear and panic. All it takes is for one stupid person out of millions to make a hoax call and it all kicks off.Quote:
