Thread Name: Explosions in London
Subject: RE: Explosions in London
All our news stations are carrying this. Although only 2 confirmed dead and 90 confirmed casualties, most predict much higher counts, early reports talking of horrific injuries, loss of limbs, etc. Still conflicting reports of how many explosions. Seems to indicate 7 stations and up to three buses.

Blair just spoke, will return to London in a few hours, then back to Scotland to resume G8 conference. Said all members at conference commiserated (forgot what word he use...sympathized, empathized) with the British people. But our determination to defeat barbaric acts is stronger than their determination to harm innocents. (paraphrased)

Our love to you. I'm signing off now so folks can use this forum for communication. The mobile and land lines around London are clogged, and I suspect the BBC website will be overrun soon.
