Coventry Sation has just had a bomb scare and closed.
There has been a controlled explosion at Coventry's large bus station sad
i am not far from the bomd that went off in east london in which 2 people died this morning, after watching the news and reading these posts, i cant understand what all these innocent people,children, have done wrong to these f---ing ba---rds as i cant call them human or people, ive got people in work crying that they cant contact there husbands or wifes, ive had my partner on the phone saying are our kids ok, i wish i could catch them i would make them hold hands and shoot 1 at a time.

can you save the arguments about terrorism for another time... to be honest i don't think now is the time to be doing it.... thank you...

Why? Just try and ignore why something like this happens?
Some people prefer to try and understand what is going on in the world Sean. Thank you.
mate.. my mum has just called me from great ormond street hospital, they are the on nearest to the attack at russell square underground and the no 30 bus attack at tavistock square... she is in shock from what she has seen....
if only i could describe to you what she described to me.......
there is due to be a big news conference at 3..... all i would say at the moment is listen to that and then tell me if discussing terrorism at this point in time is really the right thing to do...
Guys I have just got home and read this thread,
My thoughts and prayers are also with everyone who is involved in any way at all.
I too am on standby so I would appreciate your thoiughts too cos my hubby is still unwell and officially still in hosp although he is on home leave.
Praying for everyone
Just to put this into perspective:
Shortly before 9 this morning I left a friend (a forum member) just outside Kensington in West London. He was heading off to catch the tube to go to various locations across the city.
I have no idea if he has been involved, though as best as I can tell – he would not have reached the incident areas.

I couldn't agree more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sympathies to any who don't know if their loved ones are OK.
We found out fairly soo that our son and daughter in law are OK so we're very relieved.
Have no words just now for what has happened.

my thoughts go out to everyone, victims, families, friends and the relief workers, but most importantly those who are still waiting for news.
I have just rung the blood donor line (i'm a regular donor anyway) and they say their stocks are ok to deal with this at the moment. I'm going to ring again tomorrow,

Hi everyone
Well we have our son home safe and well,i had to walk ,bus and take a taxi to Paddington but got there,well picked him up couldn't head back the way because of a suspect package in a to my son to find out what happened he said he had been stuck on the train between stations for over two hours,he was eventually lead through the tunnel to Bayswater which was one stop away from paddington where he needed to be,but what really hit me was that Edgware Road was only the next stop after that,he was only two trains behind the one that exploded!....whenever there has been a terrorist attack we've always seen it from the safety of the TV....i tell you its not nice when you are part of it!
Dave
Da69ve, Debs, blonde and anyone else that has been worried today kiss Glad it's all good news...
Dawn, I was sat in McDonalds earlier and had this awful feeling that you had been in London today sad Bluddy wonderful to see you were at home :kiss:
They could have picked other times where more lives could have been lost (yesterday in Trafalgar Sq springs to mind) but it doesn't detract from that fact that too many people have died :( And all because of religion... :(

Must admit, have used the London tubes around the affected areas for more years than i can remember and this certainly makes you think "there but for the grace of god" etc.
All you can take out of such an atrocity at this time are the positive efforts of the emergency services and the public in overcoming such a nightmare.
Anyway, I do agree with Fabio that we should focus on the current emergency situation rather than the political discussion that will undoubtedly ensue.
Best wishes to all who have friends and family affected today.
dave.... i am glad that you managed to get home and yours are all safe and well...
same for debs and blonde... i am glad i could be of some help
the good news for me is that at 7pm, i got stood down from being on call, for us in the rail industry the emergency is over... i am shattered and it hasn't been the best 10 hrs of my life....
i think i may have a beer a try to relax a little now.....i am mentally and physically drained now...

Cheers Sean! :thumbup:
Certainly not a good day to be working in London today ... initially news was that it was a power surge that cause the explosion at Aldgate ... but as further news came in, became clear that it was worse than that. I work at Canary Wharf and at one point, one of the guys heard from a mate at Lehman's up the road that the police had shot and killed a suicide bomber at Canary Wharf !!!
Thoughts and prayers go out to all.
Today has not been the nicest, and has been extremely emotional, even for those of us without relatives and friends in London.
The people who did this are probably proud - because they achieved their goal!!!
Only thing I hope is that they ROT IN HELL OR WHEREEVER THEIR SOULS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO.

Hopefully France :S
Seriously though, sentiments echoed and thoughts with those in London.

Same thoughts and hugs to all who went through the terror of the unknown today; i.e. not being able to contact loved ones known/thought to be in the areas involved. Happy to know those sought or mentioned on here are safe and well.
Coming from a military background, my thoughts and prayers continue to be with those whose agony has just started - the wives, husbands, sons, daughters etc of the medical services who will now be trying to comfort the injured and the bereaved; to the wives, husbands, sons, and daughters of our armed forces; those who will remain at risk of being bereaved by the continued threat.
Fred aka Medic1; our loved ones accept the risks when they sign up but it doesn't make it any easier for those left at home worrying. Hugs to you and the rest of your family.
equi-princess; your husband is involved in a professional capacity? I hope he is home safe with you and continues to remain at your side. if he is also in the military, my prayers to you and yours.
To any and all who have family and/or loved ones in the armed forces; special prayers for you all that they are returned to you safe and sound as quickly as possible.
Once the dust has settled and you are able to hug your loved one, please spare a thought for those whose agony is prolonged as mentioned above.

Glad all is ok!
Relax, have a drink and be grateful for what you have got.
Been waiting for a while to hear from my sister.
She has just contacted me to say all is fine.
Hugs to all who are still waiting for news from loved ones and hugs to all who have endured the same agonies as me for the afternoon and evening.
