The popular theory coming from Police sources at the moment, is that the bomb on the bus went off by accident or early. The bus was diverted from it's normal route when one of the tube bombs went off and it is more likely that the bomb was actually intended for another tube train.

However, there is no doubt that mistake or not, the front pages of the newspapers, picturing a big red London bus, a symbol of London life, and essential to commuters, blown apart, has epitmised the carnage.

What's all this garbage about having no national pride, and national pride causing racism etc. The people of Britain, particularly London where people of all races/religions live together in harmony under one country's flag are uniting together and helping eachother out, showing the terrorists, and the world that the Great British spirit cannot be so easily dampened.
