Re: Breaking News

Just been looking at the news and thankfully it doesn't seem too bad.
A few people injured with burns perhaps.

Re: Breaking News

I agree, it does seem as though it could have been a lot worse. Obviously there are injured people who may have life changing burns and scars not to mention the psychological scars.

I know you weren't dismissing that Boozer but just wanted to say.

Hi

We have been very lucky, a sizeable bomb which did not explode, it just burnt.

Re: Breaking News

I have been driving home from holiday and haven't yet switched the telly on for updates, but did see some news on Breakfast before I left. At the time, no-one knew what had happened.

Glad it wasn't as bad as feared but hope the injured people are ok.

Re: Breaking News

Hi

The PM has now raised the threat level from Severe to Critical after leaving iy unchanged earlier today.

Critical means further attacks are likely.

Re: Breaking News

I know that it was a busy train, but someone didn't notice a person getting on with this, then leaving it there?

Re: Breaking News

Daesh have claimed responsibility for the attack (they would do even if they weren't) and have also claimed to have further attack units operating in London.

Re: Breaking News

They should have sniffer dogs at every tube station. I mean how much does that cost compared to the operation today?

They say no serious injuries but someone on tv mentioned that a woman's tights had melted into her legs. She will have burns scars for the rest of her life. We are very lucky this didn't explode, it just burst. If they had some controls on the tube explosive substances would not pass through. What more do they need to encourage them to put safeguards in place?

Re: Breaking News

They are saying it was a carrier bag with a bucket inside and wires could be seen. Did no one think that at least odd ?

Wasn't it hidden in a pram?
