BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION - FOUR BOMB EXPLOSIONS AROUND LONDON
Sky News ^ | July 7, 2005

Posted on 07/07/2005 1:45:13 AM PDT by 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.

Just "cruised" by AirAmerica for a second and the talk show host said that his first thought this morning when he heard the news about London was...

"What has the Bush Crime Family been up to now?"---no kidding.

He said they (the "Family") did this because Tony Blair was threatening to bring home some of the troops from Iraq, so Bush had to do SOMETHING to convince Blair to keep them there.

I said words won't defeat islamowackos, not that they would have no effect. In a real war Durbin would have committed treason and we could hang him. I didn't evade your question.

Using our Judeo-Christian logic on them has no effect since they do not accept Judeo-Christian ethics, morals, etc.. But their actions are consistent and logical based on what they do accept, a culture of death and cheapness of life.

Understood, but without GB the political pressures could have been so great that nothing might have been done.

It is just a warm and fuzzy thought to remind both the American and UK people that it is so GRAND that Tony And George "W" were in place to lead us in war time.
Any thoughts about the weak "alternative" possible occupiers of those govt. leadership jobs is too terrible to contemplate.
