Whirly's cousin lives right by the Edgeware Road tube stop, and they commute, and we've had no word from them yet...

Mips , i'm glad to read your familie is okay ... Can imagine it must be very hard and very stressfull trying to get a hold of your family.

Stash and Whirly , hope your cousin is okay...but if they were at home during the attack they must be fine!

very very sad.....i hope london recovers from this soon.......one thing I really hate about terrorist attacks is here comes "Irrational Joe" :(

I was really really really surprised to hear that at 8 pm ! (i was working and then i slept) ! I didn't believe my sister. What a rubbish day.... I hope that every london people will be able to support this horrible attack.... bad day... families, workers.. shocked..

now newyork is all under alert :-|

I know it sounds fucked up , but New York has already been attacked...i think they will attack a different city after , because it makes people more afraid if they see it happends EVERYWHERE. And that is also what this terrorists are about , scaring people.

So i don't want to be negative but according to this list the secret service's made ( And they have been quite right until now ) i wouldn't be suprised if Holland is next..thats also what they say on TV. Like i said it's not negativity , but it's more being realistic.

However...im not not gonna go to the airport anymore or whatever , and i dont think anybody does. Life goes on. In the whole world.

paris too and probably the entire occidental world

Yeah that's what i'm saying...every " Attack - Sensetive " is under alert. But they already have been under alert for months.

er dunno where to start on this one, been a long day. Terrible news, the picture of the bus is particularly harrowing. I remember listening to the news at around 9:30 this morning, they were saying there had been an explosion heard somewhere near Liverpool Street station, my first thoughts were it may have been a derailed tube train train or something...my brother switches on the TV at 12:40 and a very moved Tony Blair is speaking about terrorists!!



Have spoken to many passengers today trying to reach London, I think many have put off their journeys until tomorrow, Euston station re-opened at around 2:30pm, St Pancras around 3. One guy I spoke to was in Kings Cross around 8:30 this morning!! I was in Kings Cross myself on Sunday - seeing the pic of the station surrounding by Ambulances is pretty scary.



Events like this put a lot of things in perspective, I have made a few narrow minded comments about London's Olympics bid in the last couple of days, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone.



Pleased everyone on here and their loved ones are okay but lets give a thought to those who weren't as lucky.

oh! this is gross!

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade: London terror attack near G8 summit "works to ... Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together"



The following exchange between Fox News host Brian Kilmeade and Fox News business contributor and substitute host Stuart Varney occurred during breaking news coverage of the attacks on London subways and buses on the July 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:



KILMEADE: And he [British Prime Minister Tony Blair] made the statement, clearly shaken, but clearly determined. This is his second address in the last hour. First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 --believe it or not-- was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1. But it's important for them all to be together. I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened.



VARNEY: It puts the Number 1 issue right back on the front burner right at the point where all these world leaders are meeting. It takes global warming off the front burner. It takes African aid off the front burner. It sticks terrorism and the fight on the war on terror, right up front all over again.



KILMEADE: Yeah.

First off, condolences to anyone affected by today's events, although with only 37 dead it seems something of a miracle really.



The war on terror is actually complete b****cks, as terror can come from anywhere at any time. You can't plan ahead, no matter how much the authorities think they have their fingers on the pulse they don't really have a clue. Today, the police said they received no warning (as in a phone call), and the intelligence services seem to be in dark too. All it takes is a small group of nutters bent on causing mass murder. Today's events could have been solely orchestrated by 6 guys, with homemade explosives and a grudge against the world.



It's like Phil Collins said "This is the world we live in"

(Yes, I know it's out of context!)

unfortunately, there will be much more than 37 dead... My condoleances to all the british people too. And i'm freaking out because it reminds me that it can happend everywhere anytime in a big city, and that I'm gonna live in Paris for several years in a few months...

dude, I don't have the statistics for the rest of the world, but in the United States you're roughly 370 times more likely to die from falling out of bed

than you are of being killed by a terrorist attack.



Don't sweat it.

I know that, it's just that in Paris i have a billion more chances to die in a terrorist attack than in the little country town I live in by now

Stash , i dont think he's making an elephant out of a mosquito ( as we say it ) .. I mean yeah i'm not gonna worry about it cause that aint gonna do much does it...but there's nothing wrong with being realistic.

Plus i dont worry about dying from a terroristic attack , if it's my time to go , i'll go , BUT it's more all the things that goes along with a attack like that. Living in a city that has been attacked is very...lets say , stresfull.

In the U.S., you're 6 times more likely to be shot to death by the cops than by terrorists....



Sure, you'll have more ways to die in Paris, but that's across the board, not just from 'terrorists'.... I think how exciting a place is, is basicly defined by how many ways there are to die there.... think about Asia for a minute, there are more ways to die in asia than any other continent! Where else can you get bitten by a cobra, eaten by a tiger, contract cholera, get attacked by pirates, raped and killed in a snuff movie, drown in a tsunami, get trampled by an elephant... the list is huge!



Seriously, I think Asia is like one giant Disneyland with no one minding the safety regulations.

In a zoo ? X-D

Yeah but that wasn't the point

Your chaning the subject to "dying" yourself...i'm only saying that things like this make you change the way you look at the city you live in. It makes you more aware that this could happen in the subway youre in going to work.

But I *do* think he's making a mountain out of a molehill (as we say it), and I feel the need to point it out, because the government WANTS us to be scared, be scared of the scary scary muslims, because that makes us easy to control, and let's them do whatever they want.



If you're afraid, then the government that wants to control you AND the terrorists that want you to be afraid BOTH win.

I asume your talking about the AMERICAN government ? Cause the British one , and Tony Blair reacted very calm and professional on this crisis.
