    Just Terrible. The Death toll and number of injured will continue to rise. Hopefully not though. My sympathy goes out to those dead and injured as well as their families and friends.

    Yeah, that sucks, but it's not like far worse things haven't happened by the hands of "terrorists" in the last five years (hint hint).

    Not that I'm saying that makes this any less than what it is. It always sucks when innocent people die, reguardless of whos, hows, and wheres.

    official death count is currently 33.

    that though does not include the bus. i belive that most people on the top level there had very little chance.

    but the one thing to get through now and to remember for all time, is not to turn this into a witch hunt. don't let this scare you into anymore concessions on rights, don't let this make you want justice so bad you will see anyone found guilty, don't let this cloud your judgement of humanity, do not blame this on any sub-section of soceity, act with justice and mercy. do not turn this into a crusade.

    Yes, exactly, because that is what the terrorists would want.

    May God bless those involved in the accident and all their relatives.

    I hope that anyone with friends and relatives in London, or who is in London themselves, finds everyone to be safe and well.

    I've been expected a terrorist attack for some time now. I was used to them, growing up in Northern Ireland, but this is something else entirely. It's not surprising, but it is extremely shocking.

    The terrorists appear to have taken two main issues into account. First, the G8 summit in Gleneagles and second, that it was during rush hour. I honestly don't believe the Olympics have anything to do with it, but it is still a possiblity. Whoever it was and whatever their motives aren't important at this time. What's important right now is giving the police and government the support they need to sort it out, and to hope or pray or whatever it is you do along those lines for the injured and dead.

    That just about sums it up.

    Well, a bright side to this, though it's not much, is that many many more people could have been hurt due to the Olympic celebration, so I'm glad that it wasn't as bad as it could have been...
