Dh spoke to fil who was walking to get the tube (edgware) at 9.15 No one has been able to get hold of him since. Mil is there now and no sign of him, just getting his answerphone, they are frantic

just watching the paramedices bringing casualities into the hospitals - how horrible if you saw a loved one being taking into hospital

eidsvold · 07/07/2005 11:52

oh suzy was thinking about you and whether you had family there or not.....

networks - both mobile and landline are down. We called dh's sister who works near london eye and she could not get a line out to call us. So that may be why you can't get hold of people.

mummy23 · 07/07/2005 11:52

anchovies, send you and family big hugs, hope u hear from him soon!

tiredemma · 07/07/2005 11:53

thanks flossam, just found out that its actually eastman dental hospital where she works on grays inn road. (is that central? i think it was the east that made me think east london)

spoke to poor chap on reception who has obviously spent most of the morning dealing with neurotics like me - he said that no staff are unaccounted for and that all who should be there are there. phew. thanks again.

oh, anchovues, that's terrible... but he's probably ok. but the waiting must be terrible.

anchovies · 07/07/2005 11:54

Think id feel better if we couldn't get through to his mobile at all, it just rings until we get the answerphone. I am sure he'll be fine though

This really is scary stuff - hope you get news soon Anchovy.

My uncle was on the tube coming into Baker Street when it happened but he is ok - just smoke inhalation and his clothes are destroyed.

Our sister is sister is sitting Gatwick waiting for a flight here so hopefully she will get home.

Thoughts, prayers with everyone in London and all those affected by this dreadful situation.

blair is making a statement

eidsvold · 07/07/2005 12:02

crumpet according to the BBC - it was 9,33am... it may be that he is unable to get a network or to a phone.
