Who knows, but my Dad went up there for a meeting today (on the train, and then I assume the tube to get to where he needed to be :x)

According to some unofficial reports, there were several blasts in different locations across the city. we'll have to wait for confirmation I guess...

I think he arrived at just after 9, so the tube would already be down by then.

Apparently 3 bombs on buses around the city as well as whatever happened on the tube.

The electricity company has said that there was no power surge.

Someone set us up the bomb!

so what is it a terror attack or a power surge? looks like bush will have more stuff to use to fearmonger the americans if it's a terror attack.

I'm watching it on NBC. The idiot anchor just said -- I'm serious here -- "wow, this has been a truly eventful day. Just earlier today London got the 2012 Olympics. Truly monumental events unfolding."
