More London bombs?

Just got a call from a family that there have been more explosions around London. I have no idea whats going on and the news don't either but one of the reported sites is in Shepards Bush, which is really close to my home (If it wasn't for the BBC studios I would be able to see it from my window.)

But I'm not sure whats going on, I can hear helicopters and sirens and I can see police outside my window but I havn't seen anything confirming that there were any bombs or how many if there were.

And the tube system is on high alert and will probably be completly shut down.

Anybody got more details?

I dont think it went off. It didnt work porperly. Its all over sky news right now. It wasnt anything close to an alqaeda attack or something like that. It was just an unorganized attempted suicide bomber. Thats my take on it anyway. 1 injury so far.

No deaths. This is just gonna keep dragging on now, some other moronic bombers gonna get an idea.

Glad there were no deaths. I bet it WAS a moron who got an idea, like Wuggly said. How sad. :/

Ya me heard too
Near warren street it was
No deaths fortunatly
The terror aint over yet in London

I thought it was just smoke that came out, there's no news of explosions, all bbc news says is "incidents" and that smoke came out in the tubes but theres no smoke outside.

There was smoke meant to be coming out of one tube station
But there were loud bangs heard before
People say its a nail bomb

Channel 4 said there were explosions.

Here is the article

Last I heard there were no deaths and 1 or 2 injuries, which is relief to hear when a repeat of the last attacks could have happened.

Glad to hear that there were no casualties.

Still I can't help but wonder...

What is this world coming to!?

i doubt it was al-qaeda. it's been exactly two weeks since the london bombings. someone had the idea that this will scare the crap out of everyone.

anyone wanna takr a guess how many folk will take the bus or train next thursday after this? it was more to scare than to kill. it doesn't matter who these bombs kill. if you set a bomb of every second thursday then you can shut down the entire system for a 7th of the week.

Plenty of people will continue using the bus and train. You could die crossing the road and thats alot more likely than to die of a suicide bomber on the bus. Most people with common sense will realize that. (Im not saying you dont have common sense, I just disagree with your belief that people will be scared by this)

if you put bombs on 3 trains and a bomb every thursday and people know it is every thursday would you be willing to go on? if thursday was "bomb day". if you were 99% sure that a bus and a 3 trains were gonna have bombs on them that day there is not a hope in hell people will go on them.

Thursday is not a bomb day. There is no reason to think a bomb will go off next thursday and no guarantee in the slightest. Theres no reason for people to treat it that way either.

no my point was that if there was a bomb next thursday (or the thursday after to make it a two week cycle). then we would get into a situation of fear on a set day of the week.

Oh I see well Id agree there would be people who would avoid going out on those days but majority people would still think "It probably wont be me".

This raises another question: Why are people against soldiers going to the Middle East to try and prevent these kind of things from happening?

I'm told rebel insurgents in Baghdad and Afghanistan have taken to filling old,corroded bomb shells with shards of glass and metal-effective shrapnel bombs,with animal dung thrown in to poison the wounds.

Just be thankful the perpetrators haven't employed the same methods on British soil.

There is only 1 injury as far as I've heard, and no deaths.

I think they are trying to prove a point, something like 'We can still cause damage if we want to'. Although they failed to cause damage, because of the bombs. They could of. Nobody stopped them from putting the bombs there in the first place. We were lucky, but obviously they are going to be quite pissed that it didn't go according to plan. :(

chances are they were either totally un-related and had no idea how to build an effective bomb.

or this was the second phase. but acetone peroxide detoriates and so if this was the same batch like from the bath they found in leeds it would be rendered useless by now and give the effects shown today.

Whoever did it was probably mad more damage hadn't been done the first time, I can't believe anyone could that again, after all those people died and all those families and friends lost important people, it's awful. I hope this was just a scare tactic and not a preview of more things to come :(
