[DR]

From our friends at CustomPC:

Admiral Ambrosia says:
I arrived at King's Cross just after the blast there
Admiral Ambrosia says:
I had to walk through Russell square and I heard the bus explosion

[Dougal]

Just found out that a load of the higher level paramedics from my area, chatham (kent), are being pulled into london to help.

[Nick]

All mainline trains stopping short of London. Travel operators are advising everyone to NOT attempt to get into London.

[0iD]

oh yes.
this thread is rather fast paced sn't it?!! my supervisor in the lab has a daughter and son in london, couldn't reach his son for quite a while but he's ok.

Luckily e-mails not hit. Brother works in Livepool Street for Halifax Fianancial services. Says the city's in a state of shock & panic. Keeping him posted.

Sorry, just trying to keep you up to date if you've no other way of accessing news.

Glad you're supervisor's son is ok.

Met Police Commissioner:

Concerned that blasts are co-ordinated

Sorry, just trying to keep you up to date if you've no other way of accessing news.

Please keep updating, your doing it better then the news websites and we haven't got radio or tv

[shiato storm]

yup, keep up good work. this is truely horrific...as I said earlier, it reeks of a coordinated synchronised attack...

[Nick]

Julian Nettle, Chief Executive S Mary's Hospital next to Edgeware Road tube:

4 critical blast injuries including loss of limbs, 8 serious head injuries, no children and no fatalities so far. All injuries consistent with explosions

A senior Israeli official said Scotland Yard told Israel minutes before the explosions that it had received warnings of possible terror attacks.

Here's the locations from BBC News 24 feed, ill post more relevant items as it runs.

[Dougal]

OiD: That just sounds dodgy.

They told israel but then say they didn't get any warning?

[Nick]

I saw that too. The Met Police Commissioner said hadn't heard or knew of anything like that.... not saying it didn't happen, just its not confirmed.

[Swafe]

What a load of rubbish, power surge? More like a cover up

Apparently someone on the BBC said something about iraq and al qaeda being involved, sounds plausable to me, just to mess up our image as we get the olympics.

If I was Tony and Bush at gleneagles, in maiden style, I would run to the hills, if theres bombs going off, all al qaedas enemies bush and blair the leaders of the UK and US in one place
