Bombs in subways. Bomb in buses. All details fuzzy. Story obviously being managed. WikiNews is on it. Here is a Google News link. Here is one particular disturbing pic of some people trapped in the underground in a station filled with smoke. People in London are saying on IRC that cell phones are not working. The original BBC story on the explosions said it was an electrical explosion. They recently changed the story's lead to say there was a bomb on both a bus and the underground. It is ironic that in the first hours after the WTC bombing, it was believed to be a transformer explosion. News stations are now saying it was definitely a coordinated attack. Very little information is being released right now. It is very clear big shit is going down. Early picture of one bus. At least 20 said dead. Reports of two other bus explosions. Another bus explosion pic. European markets plummeting. The London Police Commissioner has asked the media not to speculate. I feel safe making the assumption that this is a terrorist attack, I'll leave it at that for now. If you work in NYC, I suggest that you wait till noon to go to work. Blair just gave a statement. Its officially terrorism. For those picking up on this as they wake up, here is a timeline of events so far. I don't have cable where I live. grr.. |
