Well it happend again ... RE: London Explosions (2) by user27089 on 07-21-2005 at 04:19 PM I was watching it on the television today in ICT GNVQ. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 04:20 PM

Good news is... this is nothing compared to the last set of explosions... Thank God for that!... Damn terrorists. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 04:23 PM
quote: Yeah and so far they only confirm one person injured, personally I thought it would happen again sometime , and it's probably gonna happen again RE: London Explosions (2) by Rubber Stamp on 07-21-2005 at 04:24 PM yeah damn terrorist....wish the bomb exploded in their own hands!!!! RE: London Explosions (2) by qgroessl on 07-21-2005 at 04:25 PM Well... it's inevitable that it's going to happen again... But I didn't think they'd do the same exact thing... There were originally reports of it just being a copycat trying to make it seem like terrorists though... Have those stories been denied by the government and that?.... I'm suprised they're still doing it in London too... I figured they'd move and go somewhere else to terrorize more of the world. RE: London Explosions (2) by Rubber Stamp on 07-21-2005 at 04:26 PM ever heard of Kashmir?? RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 04:26 PM
An internal memo to staff at the hospital warned them to be on the lookout for a black male, possibly of Asian origin, about 6ft 2ins tall, wearing a blue top with wires protruding from the rear of the top. RE: London Explosions (2) by Stigmata on 07-21-2005 at 04:37 PM

RE: London Explosions (2) by Rubber Stamp on 07-21-2005 at 04:59 PM but the bombers frm last time were caught and killed, werent they? RE: London Explosions (2) by RaceProUK on 07-21-2005 at 05:01 PM

haha no no no! I didn't mean work for them... I'm saying that didn't you say something about the suspect having wires coming from them ... I'm saying that if you saw somebody with wires coming from the back of their shirt you'd probably stay away! .... RE: London Explosions (2) by saralk on 07-21-2005 at 06:06 PM
quote: up untill 1998 you could still be executed for treason. quote: they are suicide bombers, they hope the bomb explodes in their own hands too :/ I think that we will have to be on constant guard. It is all to easy for people to make home brew bombs and walk onto a train. It would be completely impracticle to put metal/bomb detectors at every train/tube station. So we are going to have to accept that London is a huge target for terrorists. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 06:23 PM

Anyway, to say the least, London is insecure . RE: London Explosions (2) by Zephyr on 07-21-2005 at 10:08 PM
I went out, not to central london, but to a funeral of someone i know, and there was another friend there who didn't go to work because of the funeral. He gets the number 26 bus everyday to work, but wouldn't have been on it at that time, but still he was quite shaken up. Then if that wasn't bad enough, there was another bomb left outside the door of the place he works at. He works for BT in london. RE: London Explosions (2) by x2zen on 07-22-2005 at 05:00 AM
I was just above Warren Street Station when suddenly we heard something and then all people was running up from the stairs, quite scary. RE: London Explosions (2) by Zephyr on 07-22-2005 at 10:12 AM
There was another threat on the tubes just this morning and the police shot him at Stockwell Station. quote: RE: London Explosions (2) by musicalmidget on 07-22-2005 at 12:58 PM It seems that the person shot by police at Stockwell station this morning was one of the suspects of the attempted attacks yesterday. The police must have seen him as an immediate risk for them to shoot him in such a way, as surely he would have been of more use to them alive. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-22-2005 at 01:00 PM
quote: True, but wasn't he on his way to denonate one? To be honest, if i would have shot him too if it was clear he was the bomber and he ran off to go set another... one life compared with hundreds of injured people.. RE: London Explosions (2) by Zephyr on 07-22-2005 at 01:02 PM
quote: Yeah, they must have. An eyewitness said he was wearing a long padded coat that looked out of place considering the hot wether we've had in London. I think the police must have assumed he had something concealed under the coat. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-22-2005 at 01:03 PM
Witness Mark Whitby was on the train as he saw a big man wearing a large coat and "looking absolutely petrified" lurch through the doors. RE: London Explosions (2) by musicalmidget on 07-22-2005 at 01:04 PM
quote: Nobody really knows what he was doing. Eyewitnesses didn't notice him carrying anything suspicious such as a rucksack but as I said, the police must have felt he posed an immediate risk to the public or else they are unlikely to have acted in the way they did. RE: London Explosions (2) by mwe99 on 07-22-2005 at 01:05 PM MI5 must have had some serious intelligence though, especially to be confident to shoot him in the middle of the station RE: London Explosions (2) by qgroessl on 07-22-2005 at 01:06 PM Well... hopefully it was a bad guy... If not I'm sure that the police and them will get their butts chewed out for the mistake... But! I guess I'd rather see 1 innocent person dead, then 50 innocent people, and 1 bad guy. RE: London Explosions (2) by Zephyr on 07-22-2005 at 01:15 PM
quote: I would guess so, as i doubt there would be two different organisations doing this within 2 weeks of each other. But who really knows what's happening? RE: London Explosions (2) by Rubber Stamp on 07-22-2005 at 03:42 PM such blasts happen every second day here in meh country..in kashmir specially! John Anderton must be knowing. RE: London Explosions (2) by Pipish on 07-22-2005 at 11:58 PM
i heard only one injured RE: London Explosions (2) by Zephyr on 07-23-2005 at 12:06 AM
Well, one man was shot by police as he was running from them. They got him on the floor and shot him in the head. RE: London Explosions (2) by JDawg_0789 on 07-23-2005 at 11:30 PM What's ridiculous is the fact that the governments are so slow at adopting and implementing plans. During Bush's speech the other day, he talked of improving security for mass transit, and the very next day there were more bombings in London...shouldn't that teach the high-level politicians something?
