BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON

Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

[RWR8189]

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.

Thought it was worth repeating:

I heard one person from WWII say this:

"While I hated the Nazi's, hated the Germans, that was not the object of my greatest hatred.

"My greatest hatred was what they made me become, in order to defeat them."

Wise words. Let us become savage in response to them. We will have the luxury to hate what we needed to do, later.

Janene Garafalo on Air America said that the right-wing evangelist religious types are LOVING all of the this violence and bombings because it "hurries up" the rapture!!!

Also, she said that the FOX FIENDS like it because they will use it to rationalize all of the wars they love to cover and get excited about....

[Just A Nobody]

That sentence sounds like politician speak...

I agree Txsleuth, but sometimes you just need ONE of them to put the country and their constituents ahead of their ambition.
The rest of the lengthy e-mail was a rehash of what I had written to him. It just annoyed me more than I can say.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks.

Bearing in mind of course that Senator Allen most likely did not see your e-mail or letter himself of course.

She's a moron. Air America is like a real life verison of those "Here's your sign" jokes.

You're a talk show host on Air America? Here's your sign.

[Romish_Papist]

Appropriate for this tragedy.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in our day of battle; protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

And you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

[Fledermaus]

We stand with you and all our distant cousins in Great Britain.

Now let's roll up our sleeves and together we'll take the fight to them!

"WOW---DO I LOVE THAT PICTURE... "


You and me both...
It actually makes me ~sniffly~

I love that I BELIEVE that this is what our president is thinking...
I love that I BELIEVE that Tony Blaire knows it to be true.

I HATE that we even have to ~go there~.

[CDB]

Agreed. The Brits will be greatly assisted by their many CCTV cameras.

She's a loon.

Ahhh man ...
Intellectually I am aware of that.
Emotionally I choose to ignore what I know intellectually.

;*) Thanks for "trying" to keep me balanced.
