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.

Thanks for the information. I have a son in London so please keep it coming. Question. You mention six blasts...do you know if they were in six different areas of London or the initial blast was composed of six blasts?
