They won't lay down like Spain did.

You are exactly right about that.

MSNBC now getting a live report from London. Don't the the fella's name.

Not just England mate - the whole of the UK.

WE are one.

This really is starting to look bad. So sad. I was working in London yesterday and the city was buzzing with the olympic news. You could here the cheer in from Trafalgar Square in Berkley square!

Terrorists I would say. But who: IRA? (outside bet at the moment) - G8 Anarchists? (timing would make sense, but not really their style) - Islamists (That's the gut reaction).

Please offer whatever prayers or vibes you can to our emergency services at these moments.

Possibly an attack on an electrical facility, to kill the lights in the train station.

MSNBC is still trying to come up to speed.

CNBC World (who runs CNBC Europe this time of the day) has been all over this since I got up a bit ago (and dodging the fallen trees down here from TD Cindy).

Yep, and we're going to be right by their side.

Blair and Bush won't blink. Thank God for these two leaders.

This is an organized attack.

This was clearly being planned for quite some time.
Terrorist bastards.

[12B]

CNN Int'l is at least calling it a "targeted attack".

[Killing Time]

Thanks for the thoughts. Presumably staying esconsed in the office is the best thing to do.

"Possibly an attack on an electrical facility, to kill the lights in the train station."

More likely that the bombs in the subway caused the power surge.

[mhking]

8:50AM London time. Almost the same time as our 9/11 attacks.

That thought hit me, too.

[iso]

90% it's once Islam terrorists attack .

[ChadGore]

UK: USA STANDS WITH YOU !

[leadpenny]

Thanks. Ron somebody talking to MSNBC anchor.

[onyx]

The G8 freakazoids aren't that organized, but they;re dangerous anarchists. I am still thinking Islamodascists, but the 6-8 anarachists just might be responsible.

Credit will soon be taken...

[mhking]

Anyone have any live streams????????

Still working on it. Give me a few minutes.

I'll radio first, most likely, as my BBC World tv stream is down.

The power surge story was misinformation--either intentional or just a result of confusion (I suppose LEOs will always try to downplay attacks initially to limit panic).
