4 bombs went off. 3 in the subways and 1 on a bus. As of right now, at least 40 people are dead and over 300 injured. It seems to be a terrorist attack.

From Yahoo! News:

Four London Blasts Kill 40, Injure 300
AP - 30 minutes ago
Four blasts rocked the London subway and tore open a packed double-decker bus during the morning rush hour Thursday, sending bloodied victims fleeing after what a shaken Prime Minister Tony Blair called "barbaric" terrorist attacks. At least 40 people were killed and more than 350 wounded. Two U.S. law enforcement officials said at least 40 people were killed. In London, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Piddick said at least 33 people killed in the subway system alone.

For news with this issue BBC is probably the best as it publishes confirmed information.
See:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4661059.stm

Summary:
7 blasts went off. 4 have been confirmed as bombs, 3 are probably bombs but investigators are working on finding the evidence. 6 blasts were in the underground and 1 was on the top floor of a double-decker bus. 33 people have been confirmed dead although this is likely to rise. London Underground is completely closed, the buses are not running through central London and many of the train stations are closed or offering a limited service.

extremely dimensionally transcendental

I woke up exhausted this morning with the news of this attack on the TV. I kept trying to nod off again in hopes of waking up "for real" and finding this to be just some horror from my head. Alas, no such luck. Just want to say that in spite of the horror some can bring, I'm pleased to see the love than comes out of it from all the Browncoats here. Hope all you Browncoats and all your loved ones in the area are well.

See.

I'm sure the AP (Associated Press) is keeping their facts straight as well. Last thing this needs is a hyperspeed rumor mill.

On 9/11, everyone was checking all the news sources, so the only timely updates I could find were on the NASDAQ Web site. The editors over there stopped posting research and started putting up ALL CAPS headlines as information came out.

(This is mainly to keep this thread *bumped*) I sent an e-mail to Spacebug, but he hasn't answered yet. Hopefully, they're on holiday in the north somewhere, or glued to the TV.

I just heard from Josh (who I refer to as Spacebug) and he's fine. He lives outside of London (1 or so hours away, I believe). However, his father and sister were apparently 2 minutes away from the blasts, but they are also fine.

This is all just too weird. Makes one wonder if the earth will get far enough to make for the stars one day.

I live on the south coast in Portsmouth now but I used to live in London back when the IRA were setting off the occasional device themselves.

Sounds a bit strange but the best way to beat terrorism like this is to ignore it and get on with your life as usual. The main aim of an attack like this is actually economic disruption (hence hitting the transport infrastructure) so the typical over-reaction to the event is exactly what the perpetrator wants.

Still waiting to hear from friends who live in London myself
