[RTKangaMummy]

HAS JUST HAPPENED AT 8.50

TRAVEL PROB

.

there was a controlled explosion earlier this afternoon. numbers of casulaties still not confirmed

agree, fimbo.

They have causualties at my hospital. No idea how I will get there in the morning but dreading what is going to await me

personally think its nothing to do with olympics ...this has been planned meticuously by whoever did it.to plant bombs in the underground is not easy feat they were in the tunnels from what i understand .this is todo with g8 .

Agree Fimbo, pretty repulsive IMO

they are making statement at G8 now

TB says we will not give in to terriosits

Tony Blair devivering speach from Gleaneagles with all other G8 leaders by his side

there have been fatalities at edware road but no more info given

any news on croydon?

Update from BBC TV

Confirmed fatalities at Edgeware Rd tube, but no numbers

blair is saying that the bombings will not weaken g8's resolve to 'sort' world poverty. is this all to do with g8 then?

Oh Flossam - had no idea that what your job.
What dread you must be feeling.

thinking of you

We called DS's nursery (S London) and asked if they would like us to collect him, so that staff could concentrate on their own families etc - they said they were keeping all the children occupied and had called in all staff on leave in order to be able to stay open as late as necessary because of parents not able to get home!

I hate to think how people will treat muslims in uk now. After sept 11 there was a lot of bullying of muslim kids in my school.

will leave tv on for updates & send them on.

That is really good Blu - pity it takes something so terribly scary and tragic for us to see that there are still some good people in this shitty world

RTKM, it's the age of the children (under 5), and the fact that they should know that some of the parents do work in London that gives me a problem! I had to lie to ds1 and tell him that I'd spoken to Daddy and he was OK. And thankfully he isn't aware that Grandad is in London too.

Have to say the thought of "cannon-balls" did cheer me up briefly. Easier for a 4 year old to cope with than suicide bomber.

6 people currently in theatres at Royal London Hospital - mainly blast and burn injuries.

everyone being told by bbcnews to stay where they are. I assume this means not to try to walk home.

Eye witness at Bus Bomb.
Lots of smoke, room of bus torn open. People lying on the street outside BMA House

I need to go shopping, but i'm too frightened to go out atm - and i only live in silly barking - god only knows how all of you in central London must be feeling right now. {{{{hugs to you all}}}}

Croydon was fine this morning. Found out about the explosions whilst out shopping there - the staff in HofF were doing a security check, and one of them told me why. Went back into Croydon at midday to collect ds1, and all seemed normal.

Just spoken to my friend at nursery - her DH works in London -but he's ok

thanks.

I feel very very far away from dh

and he's safe, lord knows how poeple who can't find loved ones are feeling

and I do think it's a bit rude of Bush to be standing right in front of Kofi Anan at the press conference, he could move over a bit surely
