Scott_36 Posted July 7, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britbillsfan Posted July 7, 2005 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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...

Also, was the bus a tourist bus or regular London transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 scary.... Good luck to the tbd londoners. To the rest of us, keep a lookout.

Fezmid Posted July 7, 2005 Share 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.
