Minor explosions using detonators only have sparked the evacuation of three Tube stations and the closure of three lines, a BBC correspondent has said.
Police cordoned off large areas around Warren Street, Oval and one of the Shepherd's Bush Tube stations.

A route 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green had its windows blown out by a blast. There were no injuries.

Police in London say they are not treating the situation as "a major incident yet".

Just out, several detonator-only explosions on London underground services have resulted in the closing of the Hammersmith and City, Northern and Victoria lines.
I hope these were just scare-attacks, rather than explosives failing to detonate with the the detonator charge. I have/had an interview with Cancer Tech. just off Warren St. tomorrow....... :eek:

damn... job interview?

Samildanach · Jul 21, 2005, 10:09 am

I bet its just the police planting a few detonators in the tunnels. That way they get to say we saved you from the casualties, look at how efficent we are! The metro tommorrow will be full of it again...london will not be bowed ,we will not give in to terror...yada yada yada.
Confidence is restored within the general public that the police can protect them from future terrorist attacks. The government will be supported by the public in pushing through its anti-terror legislation etc etc.....no casualties I know of...its all a bit tooooo convienient.

Yeah, off topic I know, just I've got an interiew with UK Cancer Technology in London tomorrow, the directions I was given were, get to Warren st station, walk down Totenham Court rd and take Grafton Way to Gower St etc etc etc, Warren St is sealed off at the moment.

Samildanach · Jul 21, 2005, 10:17 am

Bets they dont catch anyone and no one is injured in any way....

yeah off topic.. So it looks like a ride to the nearest and then a cab ride? Or a longer walk?

Who says CCTV never saved anyone? They'll find these people too.

What makes you say that? what with all the CCTV

Samildanach · Jul 21, 2005, 10:25 am

Just a feeling....dont you get the feel that there is something out of place with this whole scenario?

**Matt W** · Jul 21, 2005, 10:32 am

Just heard on the radio that 3 armed police are in hospital.....no reasons as yet.

**Chris** · Jul 21, 2005, 11:30 am

It may be that one of the bombers has ben taken there. (mere speculation)

**Matt W** · Jul 21, 2005, 11:34 am

Sounds like utter chaos at the moment....seems like only 2 casualties, but no-one is entirely sure of the full extent.

What happened to our little friend? Didn't he once claim he was dating a Playboy model

And every time I asked him for photographic proof that was not photoshopped he dodged me

Anyways Sorry to infiltrate this topic with idle chat.

According to military sources the explosives failed to detonate so this was meant to be a similar attack to the 7ths. This is quite disturbing news.

**Chris** · Jul 21, 2005, 01:55 pm

unnerving :(

Europe needs to get on board and help dry up this swamp. The poor economic conditions of the middle east tied with the appeal of violent jihad needs to be stopped. This can come only though economic/governmental reform in my opinion.
