BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON
Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

Posted on 07/07/2005 1:45:13 AM PDT by RWR8189

There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.

There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.

The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.

A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."

British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".

"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.

"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."

One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.

The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot.

I just talked to my son, he and his group over slept this morning because they had a final dinner last night and should have been on that train. My son was so stunned that he couldn't talk when I told him which stations were involved. The whole group of students should have been on that train.

The hand of God...

Think of it this way. When you see a cockroach, you don't just kill the one you see. You treat the area for all the ones you don't see to get rid of them too. This approach needs to be applied to the muslims. Even the ones who have not been a problem yet, will breed ones who will become trouble. They should all be sent back home.

I'm kinda big into the "numbers" of the USA attacks. Two tower attacks in NY. Two "capital" attacks in DC. Total attack time was less about 2 hours.

The attack was on a Tuesday. All the anthrax letters bore Tuesday dates.

I'm guessing "7" to be a significant number in this attack. July is the 7th month. Today is the 7th. There were 7 explosions which may be indicative of 7 perps.

If some of them were by remote, the bas***** are walking around London taking photographs.

There were internment camps in central Alabama for Germans.

Sure those weren't POW camps of Germans taken prisoner in Europe and shipped here for the duration?

There definitely were prisoner of war camps in the South.

A freind of the family who is hoplessly lib and I spoke. I kinda knew it was Al-Q, mainly because the MO was the same ad Madrid....his response when I backed up my statements with a link to Sky News....

i dont accept any news from faux news.and if you notice it is a previous unknown group. very easily faked

His alternate theories?

i think it easily be a antiglobalizaiton group trying to distrupt the G8 summit or a right wing organization

With morons like these being representitve of the left, god help us if a Dem winds up in the WH in 08.

Peach heard from snugs and she's fine.

She's not in London (I think she's in, or near Kent).

Glad to hear your friends are okay. Bit of a baptimism of fire! I think you mean Edgware Road. Coincidentally, there was an American tourist interviewed on the BBC news who had just arrived in London and - on her way to see the changing of the guard - saw instead the bus drive past and have its roof blow off.

I suppose it's something to put in the postcard!

Hopefully, this won't deter Americans from holidaying in London in the future. It's mercifully been a long time since there was a terror attack on the capital.

Yes, I was adding those two categories together. Those are not the kind of people we need to be importing to the U.S., or to the West in general.
