NBC just interviewed a guy from New Jersey who is in London and he was saying he saw people coming out with burns and lacerations.

It's pointless arguing about the # of stops at this point. Let the chaos settle and the news stabilize.

My sister said that one of the busses where close to her work and her boss had dirt on his clothes when he arrived. They're advised not to go outside their buildings, and she could end up spending her night at work, or walk home across london.

I believe the software is called Real Alternative.

I was trying to open it in MPC but it didn't like it - I thought I had that installed - I only had QT Alternative installed - that'll be why ;)

CBC reports 180+ injured.

No live feed available from CBC, which is unusual.

G8 Summit statement being issued now.

Yeah, bbc news online said that swindon and brighton stations had been closed for security checks. I wouldnt be surprised if more stations outside london are closed for checks, particularly those on the commuter routes.
