I'm at home at Mottingham, so I'm well out of any danger. At the moment only a couple of fatalities seem to have been mentioned and it's been suggested that one of these might have been a suicide bomber on the bus at Tavistock Square. Obviously there are likely to be further deaths among the seriously injured, but compared with the Madrid bombings, London seems to have come off very lightly indeed.

The number of Tube bombs seems to only have been four, but as two of the trains were between stations, rescue efforts were made from both directions thus fuelling reports of six incidents.

The emergency services seem to have responded well and the planning and rehearsing for such an event seems to have paid off.
