Sounds like a really bad prank if someone's just letting off detonators on the underground.. Sky News just had an eyewitness on who said that someone ran onto the train, dumped a bag and ran off again before the doors closed. Apparently passengers tried to pin him down..



I think i have to agree, if they were proper bombs what is the chance that all 3/4 would fail? It's either a sick prank, or someone just trying to cause major panic

NB. this is my opinion not an official one

ITN its university college hospital they said.
Or maybe just a really big cock up on the terrorists' part? Maybe they constructed the bombs completely wrong so none would work properly. At the moment it is all just speculation. I also am completely disgusted that people could be annoyed that their journies will be disrupted. My Dad works near Green Park, which is completely closed and would be useless to him anyway since the Victoria line is shut down. I called him to tell him what happened, and he didn't go "WOE BETIDE ME, I might not get hope until late"; he was just concerned for people.
The London ambulance service said at 13.45 that there were no fatalities at the underground scenes. The British Transport Police said injuries were “limited” at this stage.

Police in Chemical suits are preparing to enter Warren Street station (Sky News)..

I'm pretty sure that's standard procedure after a blast to establish there's no chemical, biological or Nuclear materials involved..

I can't actually believe you said that. There are rather more important considerations than your insignificant trivialities.
