I'm alive. Thankfully so are all my friends and collegues at work, some of whom were in London at the time.

Bump 
I'm based in Lancashire - way north of Watford Gap, not near London at all but my prayers go out to all affected by the blasts in the City, my own friends are all fine.
Keep flying

"Exactly how stupid -- beyond simply brainwashed and insular -- does one have to be in order to think that such acts of terrorism against civilian targets are bringing the world to a proper relationship with Allah?.... I'm probably missing the terrorists'/freedom fighters'/jihadin's delicate philosophical point entirely, but that's what it boils down to for a common man like me."
Mr. Zoid, I agree with you that these acts do nothing to bring us all together, but one MUST ask "Who benefits?" from such an attack. The Brits had just declared they planned to remove all troops from Iraq in the foreseeable future. Knowing this, why would any "terrorist" of Iraq choose to antagonize a country which had just declared it wanted no more part of that war? One must be very sure of where the blame lies before any fingers can be pointed.
I don't believe any common terrorist group was behind it because they don't gain anything. However, it is well established that Israelis (NOT Scotland Yard) warned Netanyahu BEFORE the attack, but warned no other group. (Even Matt Drudge had this info.) Do the Israelis benefit from raising British (and resulting world-wide) antagonism against Iraq or other mid-East countries? You bet they do.
Coincident here is drawing attention away from Plamegate/Rove and from the unpopular ID-card discussions in Britain. Again, let's look with curious minds at who benefits rather than blindly accept what we're told.
Any who wish to exercise analytical thought (over knee-jerk reaction to phony news services), and who seek enlightenment on this event might visit [ www.whatreallyhappened.com] and start reading.
Thank you all for your time.

Just found this excellent commentary, which might offend some, but touches on enough good points and has enough insight that I recommend it to anyone who is disgusted with these ongoing violent events.
It's called "When the Cops are Crooks," and is by John Kaminsky:

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and good wishes. I don't live in London, but I have friends who do, and I was meant to be there myself this evening. Everyone I know is well, thankfully.
All I can say is: Huzzah for London's emergency services and transport staff, who did a sterling job yesterday, dealing speedily and effectively with what could otherwise have been a much worse disaster. And watch London bounce right back

All present and correct in Kent.
I live about 70 miles from London but have a brother there.Luckily he was south of the river when it all kicked off.
I'm happy to say that London seems to be taking today as business as usual. I have heard the phrase "we've just got to get on with it" a lot. The "it" meaning life in general.
London terrified. Not.

Strange, I thought this was a Browncoats board for British Browncoats to let everyone else know they were OK.
Oh, and by the way Ruxton, I happen to be Jewish and take VERY great exception to your comments.

***I just want to make this Perfectly Clear***
I`m not much of a religous person but, I think it is totally wrong to blame religion for these peoples acts.
Muslims in this country (UK) have condemmed the attack, it was not religion who did this but was (reported to be) terrorists who stated their reason was for the `Glory of Alla` - this doesn`t mean all Muslims are terrorists, but that they have been singled out by a small group of undesirables who have claimed this act the way they have.
I think the time has come to take any talk of Who was responsible & talk of religion & other world news to the relevant forums.
As has been mentioned, this thread was due to some people who were concerned about missing loved ones & friends & for the welfare of others.
Thankyou!
Darin (Zol.)
