Another eyewitness, Dorothy Molloy, had been on a Tube train at King's Cross and said "staff just chucked everyone out of the station".

She said staff there had not given any details, but she said two passengers she had spoken to had said they had received messages saying there had been bombs.

"People didn't really know what was going on, they were just huffing and puffing and saying how annoying it was," she said.

"People don't seem to be panicked, but there's so many police and ambulances coming into the areas. People are just concerned, and some are just annoyed at the delay."

If it is terrorists then they have failed.

Been living in London for a couple of years, but was living in CT just outside of NYC on 911 so this is a little eerie (and was growing up in LA during the '92 riots, so you can see I'm very lucky with these sorts of things). I was lucky today, tho, as I decided to work at home. I will post what I can based on what's airing on TV.

Sky saying now six blasts reported in London including three on buses ('picture still very confused' says the Metropolitan Police) and all tube and bus services suspended in London. There are still buses going by my window however and they have passengers on them. It's 11:30am here.

One interesting thing is that Edgware Road was one of the stations affected. This is in the heart of normal, upscale, integrated and friendly Muslim neighborhood in West London. In other words, if you're looking for symbolism, it's a strange choice.
