Sorry, didn't realise there was a thread going on here. This is a link to the post I put in the "Biker News" page:

As I said in there, I work between Aldgate and Aldgate East - which is where one of the explosions happened. I reckon I got off the tube train (went in that way this morning as I thought the ROAD would be unsafe due to teh heavy rain) about 2 or 3 minutes before the explosion. Girl at work was even closer - she got off the train at Aldgate East... and a few moments later all the lights on the station went out.

In the above link is another link, which gives details of what happened in chronological order.

Current fatality total is, I believe, 37 and still rising - given the explosion on the bus, I think it is going to be a while before the real total is known.

And this is what happens when you take America's side and send your troops to a war that doesn't involve you... INNOCENT people die The number will proberly keep climbing... in the herald they reckon more bodies are still on the trains... but it is now a crime scene...

My heart goes out to all those involved and thier families

Fucking media. Understandable that all of those who have family and stuff involved want to hear about it and such. But come on!! Let the government find out what is going on before starting on guesses and shit. And for fuck sake let that guy lying in the hospital bed with blood all over his face get looked at and quit poking cameras and microphones in his face. Fucking media. Never help anything and only make such things seem worse than it really is.

I agree. I'd be pissed if my face appeared on a newspaper cover... exspecially if I hadn't been able to contact my family yet... imagine if that guy was a kiwi and his mother walked into the dairy this morning for milk for her cuppa and saw that... she'd proberly have a heart attack...

Reporting the news is one thing but getting in the way and saying random shit that isn't true and does nothing to help the situation is another.

are you helping the situation by blurting out your intellegence while everyone else is worrying about there fucken families? no.

[scumdog]

Bahahaha


On the bright side 90 out of 18 million are pretty sweet odds.

Unless you or your family/friends are amongst those 90 - about time you grew up and stopped posting like a cretin.

It's a terrible situation. I'm amazed that so far the death toll is quite low, I hope it stays that way. The Emergency services are doing superb work.
The perpetrators of this are animals, you can't really describe them as human. But terrorism is as old as humanity itself. Fortunately it rarely achieves it's aims without wide public support and these people don't have that. Al Quaeda will be irrelevancy in years to come like Red Brigade, SLA etc.
One thing that did impress me from the reports was, although I don't like him or what he stands for, Tony Blair flew straight back to London. A stark contrast to a certain other world leader who took to his airplane and cowered in fear.
Stiff upper lip rules.

I'm not bothering those involved who should probably be seeking medical attention rather than talking to reporters. Sorry but this is something I get sick of very easily. The 911 attacks were on tv all day every day on every channel for three weeks when that happend and all I could think is "fuck off and let peaple get over it" Showing the damage to peaple and property isn't gonna help anything.

Yes, what you only just arrived in 2005? We see it everyday, why do we keep seeing it because people keep watching it. end this.. make a new thread if it wants to be a media debate.
