    Like I said, it has been reported in many places. I head it on the radio this morning.

    Dreadful situation - has wide ranging impact. I work in travel and know how badly that was affected after 9/11. People have become more resilliant but still we have customers already wanting to cancel travel arrangements. My sympathies to anyone affected.

    ... and every nation that slightly supports Israel is on the hitlist as well.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to all those in London & the UK today.

    Definitely not what you want to wake up to. The stories on CNN of the people of London coming together to not only help each other, but clearing debris, contacting loved ones, and as one Londoner put it, "...marvelous that they're showing their backbone."

    I was just saying earlier how big news this is, whilst busses with people etc. get blown up daily elsewhere in the world.

    Strange planet this is...

    Yeah. I think the difference is that we almost expect it in other parts of the world, but not "civilized" countries... or larger more upscale countries... whatever your description may be, we just don't think it'll happen in places we "know."

    We always think it'll just happen to someone else... not us.

    Yes it is a "strange" world we live in.

    Actually, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

    I think the CIA, FBI and British Secret Service are doing far more than we can possibly imagine to prevent that on a regular basis.

    Really? How could they prevent it (besides border control)?

    It seems pretty easy to orchestrate...just a matter of keeping quiet.

    Who knows what they do, and how exactly the sleeper cells communicate.. and who will blow the whistle for money. They have their ways.

    On Sky you can leave messages to find people. This one struck me as odd...

    Wouldn't you want people to confirm she's OK instead?

    Anyway, I hope she's OK.

    slightly changing the subject,,

    looks like al-qaeda will have a new target to deal with,
    as IRAN has partenered with the NEW Iraqi government
    ....and offered to help train Iraqi troops.
    a step forward for Peace in the middle east, Iran & Iraq hated each other for decades.

    Terrible day. I think we all knew that deep down it would happen to London at some stage. It could so easily have been much worse as they've obviously targeted busy areas.

    Reminds me, on a much smaller scale but closer to home, of 9/11.

    My thoughts and payers go out to everyone over there on the 'other side of the pond'. As much as we like to kid you guys, I know most folks here in the US are genuinely upset about what's happening over there. I know I am. I wish all the best and I hope no one else is hurt by such cowardly measures.

    There was a wonderful piece in our papers after Princess Diana died talking about what kind of problems hit our papers and pointing to how 1 white British woman was mourned more greatly than the millions in Rwanda, or the murdered dowry brides of India, and now, the misplaced people of Mugabe's regime, the list goes on.

    London is very familiar to all of us, even if you haven't actually been there. I'm a Kiwi so I had some heady "becoming an adult" years in that city and so it's an important part of who I am. Not so India, Rwanda or Zimbabwe.

    When the trouble hits something familiar it shakes you, with greater effect than when it happens in places you don't know.

    Media Scourge

    Our TV was flicking from Sky to CNN so I don't know which it was but one of them had their cameras zoomed in on the ambulances arriving at the hospital and showed a victim being given CPR as the stretcher was wheeled from the ambulance into the A&E department. They seemed to flick away quickly but still, the ghouls were there, ready to feed on whatever misery was available. I hope that man made it. I know that death is peddled on TV dramas every night but I hope his death wasn't part of the media frenzy.

    Yes, I was watching, desperate for news, to know what had happened and concerned for the people I know who are in London right now. But the victims have a right to personal dignity.
