I walked past it less than an hour before the explosion. I am still trying to get my head around this.

Glad to hear that you're alright. Are you visiting or do you live in London? I have two cousins and their families that live in the area. I'm praying that they are all safe and praying for those affected by these attacks. GOD bless you all.

Work in London. Commute from the home counties into Euston station.

I heard a snippet from Nick Cohen (Observer columnist - one of the Brit lefty pro-war folks c/f Hitchens) about about a year ago to the effect that one of his sources in the Security Service had told him that AQ had been phoning through false alarms to London stations and then observing the evacuation to maximise casualities. A day or two before reading this I had experienced a bomb scare at Euston and just knew that my station was the one targetted.

Anyway what happens today is that there are bombs on the tube at about ten to nine. By the time the peak time trains come into Euston the tube station is closed/evacuated and so everyone piles onto the buses. Kaboom!

I got an early train this morning and so missed the fun.

I know that we are not allowed to swear on FR and I never do, but will the mods permit me to say "those fuckers"?
