I just heard about the attacks on the news. I hope all you londoners here are alright

It amazes and disgusts me that there are people out there capable of such things. At least there seems to be a very effective system in place in London to deal with such emergencies. Im sure its only a matter of time before they find those responsible.

Well, i'm alright, as is bob, siva and tommy. I must say that I was impressed how it was handled. The response seemed to be quick and effective, and I think it was a good thing shutting down London

Yeah but they thought it was a power surge at first because of the way the track shuts itself down when it is damaged. An engineering failsafe.

37 dead last i saw. still i guess this was kind of inevitable somehow, and at least our emergency plans seem to have been carried out really well and we're not looking at hundreds of dead like in madrid.

hope everyone here and everyone you know is safe and sound.

I was surprised they hadn't attacked london sooner, and don't see why they wouldn't attack the UK again, but then again, they haven't attacked the US since, to my knowledge, and i'd imagine they're a bigger target
