London Bombing - Please Reply

DanJ · Post by **DanJ** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 9:56 am

If you haven't heard there's been a number of bombs exploded in London.

Sites mentioned include Edgeware Road, King's Cross, Russell Square, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Aldgate East tube stations and a bus at Tavistock Square.

It is believed they have turned off mobile phone masts in London as they are possibly the trigger for the bombs. That's not been confirmed yet though.

Arab sources have told the BBC that the bombs are almost certainly the work of Al-Quieda.

I've tried to call the EEV/I-C/etc guys who work there but the phone lines are clogged. If you are safe can you please let us know Night, Villa, Amber, Zole and anyone else who could be down that way. Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know dan. I hadn't seen the news, and had to make some nessecary phone calls.

As I understand it there have also been incidents at liverpool street, tavistock square and kings cross.

Hope everyone's safe.

The secretary of state has escalated the national state of alert to Amber.
The last time this happened was before we went into Iraq.

My girlfriend went into London yesterday with her mum, was gonna go today but her mum had a dental appointment; or so she thought.

Turns out her appointment was yesterday and she missed it. Pretty gg as trains from Southend run into Liverpool street

Oh and fyi there's been a bomb scare down here in Poole. Probably some dickhead pranking but they had the bomb squad out and everything.

Yeah, they reported earlier that there was a 'security incident' at Brighton too. What that was I have no idea, but not heard anything since about 11.00 about that.

Could have been so much worse I guess.
Still sucks though. You can watch live coverage from the link Dan provided.
