stinky finger Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Godspeed, Nick. Stay safe. My fingers are crossed for a quick halt to the mayhem.
nick in* england Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 Blair confirms they are terrorist attacks.
nick in* england Posted July 7, 2005 Author Posted July 7, 2005 They are now describing a 'security incident' about 50 yards from my office.

Scott_36 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 I have been in London for 4.5 years now. Coming for the quite comforts of Australia, I have never experienced anything like this. I have seen these things on TV before but never been in a city where it is happening. Even though the attcks seem to be small in relation to what happened in New York, and Madrid, still makes you wonder. I suppose I can be glad that I walk to work. If I had caught the tube I would have passed through two of the stations that got attacked. I also have a mate that tried to get on the bus that blew up. It was full then about a minute later he saw it blow up. frightening.
Britbillsfan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 They are now describing a 'security incident' about 50 yards from my office. 376268[/snapback] Probably a suspicious package. What we have here. Reports now coming in of 'dozens of dead'. Considering five/six bombs on tubes & a bus then I can see this being a really awful death toll. Bastards.
BigAL Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 VERY SCARED RIGHT NOW. Bombs appear to be exploding around London. Tube system has completely closed. Don't know what is happening............ 376239[/snapback] My sister is over there now visiting family. She was supposed to go out on the underground. Luckily she was going to go later in the morning. Be safe Nick.

Was a car that didn't have a residents permit... I work right on Whitehall - opposite Number 10. Any attack here and I am right in the thick of it.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 More handiwork by the practitioners of the "religion of peace."Would that the streets of Damascus and Mecca be ringing with the same sounds of bombs going off. Wahabists are exactly like Nazis. They want to dominate the world and kill all the Jews. Lovely people. Of course, I'm perhaps jumping the gun. Maybe these explosions are the work of the classless extremist environmentalists and anti-G8 crowd. 376260[/snapback] And once upon a time, we immediately would have blamed the Irish, as well...

Any attack here and I am right in the thick of it. 376274[/snapback] Nick, I know seems trivial but how are you going to get home? Also, was the bus a tourist bus or regular London transport

BRH Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Be safe, Nick and the rest of the British TBD contingent. We'll say a prayer for you and yours.
Corp000085 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 scary.... Good luck to the tbd londoners. To the rest of us, keep a lookout. Remember, they knocked down the pentagon and WTC with a boxcutter. it doesn't take much, so be on the lookout.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 And once upon a time, we immediately would have blamed the Irish, as well... 376276[/snapback] I think it's a fair assumption. Godspeed, Nick. Our hearts are with you here in America.
Scott_36 Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 plenzmd1. it was a regular double decker bus. it was packed as the tubes were shut by then. not good.
Fezmid Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 According to this link posted by Nick: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4659093.stm An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks. CW
