    Watching it on Fox right now.

    Warren street, Shepherd's Bush, The Oval. Possible gunshots heard at Warren street.

    Gee, wonder who it is this time? :rolleyes:

    Rise up Brits, take your country back from those that condone, encourage, encite and make excuses for these atrocities.

    Maybe not for you... To me it is...

    It doesn't sound too serious at the moment.

    They should intensify all the security measures on all crowded places. I think that's the best thing they should consider.

    Just heard. Awful news again. Watching Sky though it looks like the three tube bombs haven't detonated.

    One bomb may have gone of on a bus in Hackney though

    Sky are reporting that there are four bombs (3 on the underground and 1 on a bus in hackney). They are now saying that a nail bomb has exploded at Warren Street but they don't think the other two bombs at Oval and Sheppards Bush went off. All very unsure at the moment

    even if this is just some1s 'prank' it proves that if some1 really wanted to they could have staged a copycat of 2 weeks ago despite london streaming with security right now.

    Edit: ok 'prank' threat over, it looks like this is unfortunately (again) real :(

    It isn't like the got through airline security. When was the last time someone checked your bag before boarding a sub? I guess you could keep that kind of security up for a few hours but not for weeks or months. What is it, something like 3 or 5 million travels made in the london sub each day? Checking them would be like checking all swedes every other day, it can't just be done.

    Hope all of you and all your loved ones are safe.

    I wholeheartedly agree --> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=21825

    Talk about insensitive

    From what I am hearing so far, they don't seem to be part of the same group as before. They may be trying to pass by security measure by using smaller, weaker bombs.

    Absolutely horrible as it has the same effect...panic

    As far as I can tell, the bus is just standing still and the area evacuated. Could be anything.

    One of the tube 'explosions' was a guy's rucksack 'exploding', it simnply tore and some people got scared. Could have been dodgy lunch packed.

    Dunno about the others.
