[TheJagster]

I agree with every word Eric said above.

Tight End glad ur ok...still can never understand what the possible justification for these evil acts can ever be....certainly not religion!

To answer Red Dogs question........It won't.

I arrived at St. Pancreas by train from Notts 40 minutes after the first explosion. It was rumour city at that point : Power Surges had caused explosions anda full power cut, a tube train had crashed into another at liverpool street etc etc...

I think quite sensibly all rail employees seemed to be communicating the power surge story - any mention of "terrorism" or the word "bomb" could easily have caused mass panic and god knows what would have hapened then.

My office is at the top of tottenham court road where it meets euston road, and as I was walking there they were clearing the whole of euston road. Helicopters everywhere, blue lights everywhere and thousands and thousands of ppl milling round on the streets.

When I got to the office I found that one of my team was on the bus behind the one that blew at russel square, so a couple of her close freinds went to pick her up and take her home, shaken but thankfully alright. The bus in front was full, which was why she got on the one she was on.

All my immediate team are OK thankfully, but there is a lot of worry here about who might have been caught up on it. You see the entire mobile network is f*cked, Vodafone have made the decision that there network is closed down to all but emergency calls to allow the police etc to communicate. O2 and Orange phones are getting some connection but with difficulty. Even land lines are now reaching capacity.

At the moment we are keeping ppl here in the office - as thats the advice from the police etc. But London still has a long day ahead to get everyone home. Tubes are confirmed out for at least today, and lots of overground affected to. No decision on gtting the buses back on the roads yet. Have to play it by ear, but i think I may have a few guests on my hotel room floor!

Echo RED-DOGS sentiments - terrorism does not f*cking work politically, so why keep doing it? I'll answer that myself. These are not political activists, any purpose they serve is just an excuse. They are people who like violence, and its f*ck all to do with "beliefs".

My condolences go out to those severly affected by this.  Tightend - glad to hear you came out OK.

Phil.

Glad you're ok Tightend.

My thoughts to all involved/linked.

[Royal Flush]

In a word...SICK.

Still waiting to hear from a friend who seems to have vanished of the face of the earth, no-one seems to have heard from him this morning, its reached the point where we are hoping he is JUST in hosptial unconcious.

This is all too sad, all too bad, all too mad.

Our thoughts and condolences to all affected.

I was touched, moved to tears several times in fact, by the amount of support & comforting words spoken to me about this by Americans in Vegas.

It's just so awful. What did the victims ever do wrong to the perpretrators?

Ordiinary folks go to work one morning, & never come home.
