Apparently there were 4 bombs that went off almost simulatiously. 3 subways and one double decker. I sure hope our UK folks are ok, and Claire is over there too with her sister.

i just heard a freaky story about how people were afraid to get off teh subway train because they would get electrocuted by the live subway lines so they had to stay on the train with the bomb....

This is really upsetting. I'm hoping their arent too many fatalities, but none is already inevitable. i really dont know what to think...

Last I heard there were two dead and 150 injured.

where are you reading 7 explosions and 33 dead?

so far the BBC says two dead, while yahoo says 40 dead, 300 wounded.

i live in the uk, so gettin my information from sky news. i'm not positive the 7 explosions is true, that was said at around 11am but now all i'm reading is 4 explosions. i'm guessin if it was just the 4 then there was probably 3 scares elsewhere because i definetly heard them say 7.

33 dead, more injured according to CNN on the TV.

CBC wrote:Earlier reports said there were as many as seven explosions, but authorities say that may have been because people streamed out of a number of different subway stations.

my sister lives 5 minutes away from where one of the explosions occured :no:

furthermore, she was on the subway line that was attacked an hour before it happened

I'll be back to say more when i've finished eating, but Claire and I have been playing phone tag and she's fine. We were going to meet up in London tomorrow night, but obviously that's not going to happen any more. I'm so sad that she won't be getting to see London while she's here and that I don't get to meet her

We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.
