Thanks Topical, The whole transport network has been attacked in central London. We don't know yet what bastards have done this but there is no doubt its a terrorist attack. The hospitals are all activating their emergency plans, all staff are trying to get into them but of course.. no transport.
Scotland Yard have set up a Casualty Bureau but so far.. no confirmations of any deaths although there are reports of covered bodies.
An attack like this during the Rush Hour..
And I've just heard there has been an attack on the Transport System in Brighton too. Looks like it could be country wide..
Pray for us please.

I am.
They are showing coverage from ITN now. The horror is being replaced with total anger. Blair will be speaking shortly. It is obvious this was planned. How can anyone harm innocent people and be proud of their actions? That's a question that has no sane answer.
Stay strong, all of us here in the states are with you.

Sending prayers up for the safety of you and yours.
They said Blair would speak about 7 a.m. our time.
Our early morning news indicated two fatalities.
Helen - stay safe and keep us posted.

Are you okay, my friends in London & UK?
My heart is with you.... London is still a home city to me. 
My cousin lives in London and my aunt is on her way there as I type. I don't know yet if my cousin is alright. I hope so. He works in the city.
Best wishes,
Sanna

Tony Blair has confirmed it is terrorist attacks, he is leaving the G8 to go to London but returning this evening and the G8 WILL NOT STOP!
So if that was the terrorists aim they can shove it up their chocolate whizzway. We won't bow down! He has agreed it was designed to coincide with the opening of the G8

Helen, I don't know if he was already in city or on his way. Mum texted him and we're waiting for him to let us know. I'm not panicking, but I feel sad...
I'm so glad you're safe, Helen!

Unbelievable...don't the terrorists realise that acts like this just strengthen our resolve to wipe them off the face of the earth.
They are not only heartless...hurting defenseless civilians...but stupid, as well.

When I was studying in London my mum was always panicking that something like this would happen...
It's so sad.

sandie99, the comm lines are very busy. A T-mobile spokesman is saying that it may take some time to complete a call. This may be why he can not respond back. Hang in there.
BBC is reporting that Al Qaeda is responsible according to high-placed Arab sources. Nothing confirmed.
There is also a small one line story, an Israeli diplomat was warned of bomb threats by Scotland Yard just prior to the attacks.

Thanks for reminder. I read the same online. My friend, was in London when 9/11 took place said that the same happened back then, too.
I'm going to think that he's alright until someone tells me something else.

I'm speachless. What a bunch of spineless, morons. They want to fight a war but they insist on fighting it against innocent, defenseless people.
They don't deserve the protection of the Geneva Convention but get it any way.

These morons seriously screwed with the wrong people - AGAIN!
I'm glad to see some of our family posting already. I hope everyone else is able to check in and let us know they are okay. My thoughts are with all the victims and their families.
