The details of the situation with the explosions at the Oil Plant are sketchy to say the least. Initial eye witness reports suggested a plane was heard flying low overhead just before the explosions and some eyewitnesses even claimed to see a plane crash into the facility. All this has been reported by British media.

Whilst this is just conjecture, on July 7th the police said the underground bombings were "a power surge" for as long as they could get away with it. Once the bus bombing occurred, they then admitted it was a terror attack.

It's too early to call but an open mind is needed.

Early on... ALL reports have to be taken with a grain of salt.

"Whilst this is just conjecture, on July 7th the police said the underground bombings were "a power surge" for as long as they could get away with it. Once the bus bombing occurred, they then admitted it was a terror attack."

That was a timeline of approx one hour. The first three blasts occured in underground tunnels where the first emergency services on the scene were unable to establish radio contact with the surface. Ninety minutes after the first bomb went off the police were confirming multiple bombs. Today we have an overground incident and the emergency services have been on site for over seven hours. It's too early for concrete conclusions, sure, but I just don't believe the cover-up conspiracy theories.

Indeed. There are literally thousands of threads in the Free Republic archives of accidents, mishaps, and lightning strikes where many posters immediately assumed terrorism, only to have 99.9% of those cases turn out to have nothing to do with terrorism.

Nah Certain FReepers would rather blame and give innuendos instead of getting the facts first.

Do you have any links for these reports?

Absolutely

U.K. Police Say Fuel Blasts an Accident

......Police said the blasts appeared to be accidental, though they occurred just four days after an al-Qaida videotape appeared on the Internet calling for attacks on facilities carrying oil "stolen" from Muslims in the Middle East.....
