    There saying 7 confirmed explosions, with the last being only a few minutes ago in the same place of an earlier explosion (a terrorist tactic, kill emergency service workers and paramedics that are on the sence from the first explosion). This last explosion would be 3 hours since the first explosion.

    EDIT: Its being reported here as 90 casualties at just one subway station

    O2 has just gone down.

    Many people aren't sure what's happenned and therefore take an unusually laid back attitude. Media, as ever, is helping to heighten panic.

    Of course its exciting. I've never been so scared/nervous in my life, WTF are you talking about "be reviewed by moderators later"?!

    EDIT: You think i'm scared of your "moderator review"? I have to commute home from central London tonight. You review all you like mate. If I make it home alive tonight, I'll try and look worried.

    Wireframe, the word excitement is often used to describe positive things, we have to be cautious not to allow this thread to move into the realms of poor taste or negativity hence the rapid and justified action by phat.

    90 Caualties? I'm assuming that's unconfirmed. Is that from a non-internet source? Or is there a link?

    Edit - just saw it's in the events timeline linked above. cheers.
