The army are now on the streets trying to manage it all. Have never seen anything like this. It's the uncertainty that is so frightening. Just what is going on?

Zone 1 buses stopped and all underground. All transport is disabled. Dont call 999 unless lives in danger.

AnnieSG · 07/07/2005 11:25

I'm so scared. My dh was on tube going across London at 9am and I can't get him on mobile.
I keep saying 'he's alright he's alright' to myself which is helping a bit. every time I talk to someone I burst into hysterical tears though.
Fucking fuck. I wish I knew what they mean by 'at least six explosions'
does anyone es;le

Caligula · 07/07/2005 11:25

London Ambulance not responding to 999 calls unless it is definitely life-threatening.

Shit.

cat82 · 07/07/2005 11:25

Oh this is horrible. wtf is going on?
My mother was meant to be going with my gran and aunt as well and was supposed to be at kings cross tube station for 8.45.

Toothache · 07/07/2005 11:26

Do you think this could've been times for when most of the heavy duty police are up here in Scotland for the G8????

llamaduck · 07/07/2005 11:26

Reports of at least 1 train derailed. Pix axes being used to gain access to train to allow passengers off in tunnel. terrifying

Nbg · 07/07/2005 11:27

I think it's 2 bus explosions and 6 or 7 tube explosions which they are saying are bombs

llamaduck · 07/07/2005 11:27

AnnieSG - go to bbc news online. I really hope dh is ok for you xxxx

LIZS · 07/07/2005 11:28

I'm 1000m away and still feel sick at this. My thoughts are with all those who may be involved.

I worked in London during the late 80's/90's, when IRA were active, and feel for those who have yet to track down friends and relatives, and those of you trapped in offices and facing an uncertain and hard journey home later.

By this time next month dh will have rejoined the London commuters too.

mummy23 · 07/07/2005 11:28

Big hugs to u Annie. I'm watching sky news with my 2 DS's and they are showing you up to date news on this! I'm sure your DH will be fine! Dont forget the mobile networks have been switched of to prevent any terrorists to use them to set of any devices with them!

RTKangaMummy · 07/07/2005 11:29

THEY HAVE SWITCHED OFF THE MOBILE NETWORK SO THEY CAN'T BE USED TO DETENATE BOMBS

So don't worry if you can't get hold of him

They may work they may not
