Totenham Court Road has just been evacuated. I know there are going to be lots of scares following the London bombings but DH has asked me to check if anything has happened. He seems to think something has.

No reported casualties. Thank God for that!

bluebear · 21/07/2005 13:31

from sky news it seems that someone's rucksack 'exploded' but no one (including the man holding the rucksack) was injured.
Quote was 'the man holding the rucksack looked dismayed'.

PiccadillyCircus · 21/07/2005 13:32

Just had an work email saying about this. Just as I was feeling OK about being in London again.

Easy · 21/07/2005 13:32

Bluebear

Maybe he couldn't work out why his rucksack had exploded.

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 13:32

Sources are saying that they may have Gun shots on platform at warren street!!!

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 13:36

explosion on a bus on hackney road!!! OMG thats down the road from my parents and in-laws!!!

'the man holding the rucksack looked dismayed'.
This made me laugh

sharklet · 21/07/2005 13:36

It looks lie if anything did happen then its been nipped in the bud rather than a reaction after an event.

Hopefully

bluebear · 21/07/2005 13:37

Easy - Maybe he wondered what he'd put into his sandwiches this morning.

Sorry, making a joke of things as I was close to 2 of the 'incidents' on 7/7 and today i went to work then got sent home (sick) so went through S.Bush a couple of hours ago.

There are non-stop sirens again here (west London)..either something has really happened or people are even more twitchy.

Easy · 21/07/2005 13:37

Made me laugh too, Mrs D.

Do you think it might have been a batch of home-brew he was taking to a mate's house?

RTKangaMummy · 21/07/2005 13:37

It is on BBC1 now

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 13:38

I cant believe these BASTARDS. They dont care who they hurt. Hopefully the emergency services can do a good job like they did last time!!!

Easy · 21/07/2005 13:39

We have to keep a sense of humour tho'. Otherwise 'they' are starting to win at grinding us down.

MrsDoolittle · 21/07/2005 13:42

Yeah of course, home-brew hence the dismay.
Maybe it hadn't stopped fermenting when he bottled it - it's a bit warm out there!!

nutcracker · 21/07/2005 13:42

What have they said on the news, can't turn over, ds is watching something.

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 13:43

They think that there may still be a device on the bus coz the police have sealed of the area around the bus! Maybe they will be able to get some big clues if there is still a device that didn't blow!!!

Toothache · 21/07/2005 13:44

DO they know what it is yet???

It's not really trademark Al Queda to bomb at lunch time though.... isn't rush hour more their style.

GhostofNatt · 21/07/2005 13:45

I live down the Hackney Road, I take those buses, my kids take thsoe buses. so angry.

mummy23 · 21/07/2005 13:45
