BBC News 24 have not mentioned bombs -- just power surge. They haven't mentioned the double decker/Russell Sq, either.

But they are showing emergency workers getting into those orange (decontamination?) suits.

How could power surges blow up a bus?! Very confusing!! Must be very scary for all you Londoners!

RTKangaMummy · 07/07/2005 10:19

ITV had a reporter at the bus site so that is prob why they had info quicker

My thoughts are with all of you who are in London or have family working there. My Dad used to commute to King's Cross at the time of the fire and I know how awful anything like this is.

fastasleep · 07/07/2005 10:21

A bomb at exactly the same time.. oh that doesn't sound good. Hope it's over now! Goes to watch news 24!

swiperfox · 07/07/2005 10:22

I dont reckon it could be a coincidence that a bus and trains go at the same time, which makes me more lean topwards thinking it must be terrorist?

RTKangaMummy · 07/07/2005 10:23

multiple explosions around london

bomb explosion at marelebone MAYBE ?????

This is scary my sil is on coach to london as we speak. texted her to come home but she cant as she only has train ticket back and cant afford another coach ticket. Dont think she realises how serious it is/could be.

Nbg · 07/07/2005 10:24

I've just had to turn it off.

Are there more?

tiredemma · 07/07/2005 10:24

sorry fastasleep, didnt make myself clear....

the bomb blew up the bus..

an explosive devise caused an explosion on tube----could this explosion cause a power surge??

the two trains colliding, either drivers panicking or--horror of all horrors hijack???

awful awful awful

SaintGeorge · 07/07/2005 10:24

Best wishes to all of you in London or with family/friends there. Have to go out, will catch up later.

RTKangaMummy · 07/07/2005 10:25

tiredemma · 07/07/2005 10:26

I really dont think that this could be anything other than the obvious.

thinking of all of you in or around london. xx

fastasleep · 07/07/2005 10:26

Thinking of everyone in London too...must be very frightening, so glad it's not Liverpool I know I'd be calling DH demanding he got home etc!

mummy23 · 07/07/2005 10:26

3 bus explosions

FlounceyFlossam · 07/07/2005 10:26

tiredemma · 07/07/2005 10:26

FUCK. sorry- three buses with explosions

RTKangaMummy · 07/07/2005 10:27

the 2 trains could have collided cos of the power surge causing bumping into them

3 buses exploded

fastasleep · 07/07/2005 10:27

Flossam, most likely it's the phone lines crashing cos everyone's using them... xxxx big hugs I hope you don't have to wait long to get through!

NotQuiteCockney · 07/07/2005 10:27

Where is the best news for all this, ideally online?

bubblerock · 07/07/2005 10:28

Do you think they've stopped air traffic too?

Kittypickle · 07/07/2005 10:28

Totally agree that this can't be anything else but an organised terroist attack timed to coincide with the G8 summit
