Very, very sad. May be a G8-related terrorist attack? Scanning the Guardian News Blog furiously for updates:
1110 PA is reporting fears of “many” dead after a series of what are now, patently, terrorist bomb blasts around the city. Eyewitness reports talk of terrible injuries, and “many fatalities”.
Bastards. All these familiar areas: what person who’s been in London, even for a bit, hasn’t been through King’s Cross or Liverpool Street? I stayed off the Edgware Road for a few months… all these memories of roaming through Russell Square. Major tourist spots, major commuter interchanges at 8.49am on a weekday. Must be chaos now. And to think, just hours ago the city was rejoicing in its Olympic victory. What kind of evil drives people to this?
