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.

The only problem with Clarke's analysis is that the War in Iraq didn't cause the 9-11 attack so he has something half a** backwards. The question is: Why didn't Clarke insist on Clinton upping security in the US after 1993? Why didn't Clarke insist on Clinton taking out Usama?

And when was TW800?

I'm still not convinced that it was "fuel vapors."

[ninenot]

That was on Sykes...but it wasn't Charlie...

Be glad - you and yours were blessed this day. The fingerprints from the hand of the Almighty are all over that incident.

but all terrorists are Muslims (Arabs).

Actually the Tamil Tigers are quite prolific terrorists and they are not Muslim. They also feature suicide bombing.

Not trying to make light of the situation, but...

By British standards, that guy has a pretty good tan.

We fighting a slow motion war. Iran and Syria are behind this and it really doesn't matter if I am wrong about that. One of them needs liberation now because of this. If we don't change another regime this month, the terrorists will get away with this

Right on Target.

It doesn't matter who exactly did it. We KNOW which countries are encouraging and funding terror against US.

Rx. Give Tehran 24 hours to evacuate and Nuke it. Continue as needed.

Breaking??

Friend just sent me this; have no idea where he got it, but it seems urgent:

Fire fight between troops in Britain and terrorists at Woburn Place.

The British have given chase to some people near Woburn Place.

There are troops in Woburn Place. When I left my home in Bloomsbury, I saw helicopters landing in Coram's Fields. They say the troops are looking for someone. Now troops are arriving by the busloads near Guildford Street. I heard gunfire in Woburn Place.

Anyone who doubts the existence of God, needs to hear this story. "His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me."

I guess I'm trying to determine who's actually evil and menacing vs. who is just stupid. Sheep-like. baaa

[Fudd Fan]

I know. Usually I cannot bear to read even a couple of DU postings. The level of vitriol there is so high -- well, it's beyond me how they function in everyday life. The great number of them have given in completely to their most base hatred, and if that's not influenced by genuine evil, then I don't know what it is influenced by.

Can't forget the IRA, and the various European Marxist terroists.

I heard something similar. I saw some reports on the news that APCs have moved into central London and troops were patrolling certain areas. Seemed kinda strange that that went unexplained, but not incredibly so so I didn't give it a second thought. Wow, if the terrorists still stayed to make a last stand and a point...The bullpucky will really hit the fan.

You need to read Jack Cashill's reports on TW800, if you haven't already; they are chilling. They're in World Net Daily's website archives.

but a large reason why people are against nuclear power plants is that the environmental nuts have convinced them they are all bombs waiting to go off

The environmental nuts had nothing to do with it. People have bad memories of 3 mile island and Chernobyl.

In the meantime, I've got my hopes pinned on that experimental fusion reactor they'll be working on in France.

If true, sounds serious. Can anyone confirm or deny?
