For those of you who haven't heard, London has been hit by terrorist attacks this morning. Five underground stations were hit by explosions, as well as a packed double decker bus. So far only 2 are confirmed dead, though it would seem very unlikely that the final figure will remain that low. People are talking of "many casualities", and I've also heard the figure of around 180 casualties being used. An Al Qaeada group have apparently claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Because they hate us Westerners for not believing in what they believe...
My father was lucky because he was offered to go on a trip through London but luckily he refused and later on we see the horrible news.

When will this end! They must sort it out now!

Well, this is making me really upset. It feels just like 9/11 again. But we shouldn't focus our rage at the islamic people cuz that wont make us better than them. The terrorist attacks come from small cells of stupid, religius fanatics and it's they who should be put out.

if by 'put out' you mean 'hung by the testicles and roasted slowly over an open fire', then i'd be forced to agree. :/

I read that an emergency worker was saying casualities could be "in the double digits".

This is quite sad. I hope everyone from the pit is safe. (Do we have anyone here from London?)

I just read an article that said " '45 dead, and over 100 wounded' - from a reliable but unofficial source."

Yeah, that does suck.

This is such a blow, but I am relieved in a way because it didn't happen at Trafalgar Square yesterday when the 1012 Olympic winner was announced. The casulties must have been higher there.

This sucks, why would some assholes bomb london. It really didn't get them anymore than a country full of really pissed off people. I really feel for you guys over in the UK, hope you get it sorted out.

Until Later...

Isn't it a huge coincidence! 7 explosions, July 7th... 7 in 7th at 7... in year 2007, can we expect 07.07.07 be 7 nukes sent on earth??? that would highly suck.

But - it's really tragic and I feel very sorry for all londoneers.

There were only 4 explosions actually :P At the time people were talking about hearing loud bangs at 7 different stations, but it turned out that the explosions were occuring in the tunnels between them.

Something to wonder...

If it had been America who was hit, which middle east nation would Bush dismantle because of it?

news just in: 37 killed 700 injured from bbc.com
i was on the internet at 11 this morning when i heard about. i really couldnt believe it for a few moments. anyone see the picture of the bus that got hit. that must have been a terrible bomb.
alot of muslims are going to get hell after this (im not saying all muslims are terrorists but thousands of pissed off brits are going to blame someone) and there are going to be some serious world repercussions.

Hatred breeds more hatred. Though I am not a person who forgives easily, I can't really figure out a way to stop these terrorists, and the endless cycle of violence.

I think world peace is impossible, as long as we have religion.

yeah religion always seems to screw with alot of people: medieval crusades, jewish antisemitism throughout the ages, christian and islamic fundamentalists, general racism and stereotyping.
i agree with you 100% satchmo, we should do away with religion and teach the morals that religions teach just as they are, morals.
