I've just got home from work and caught the news over dinner

I haven't seen enough yet to understand the full scope of the casualties but it's obvious that this is quite an horrific terrorist attack on our friends in London. I only hope that this doesn't turn out to be as catastrophic as september 11 but I fear that it is the case

I know that we have a couple of ex-pats that post over here and they will most likely be quite anxious at the moment and my thoughts are with you and the rest of those people that have been affected by this attack.

Best wishes to the injured and the families of all involved and good luck to the rescuers too

I don't think we're looking at anything like "September 11" (over 3 thousand killed). More like Madrid, if that. Still pretty horrible, but let's not get too carried away.

yes , my thoughs are with the familes affected .

That's good news I suppose.(edit: hearing conflicting reports so I'll skip the numbers)

As you said it's horrible, but quite a relief to know that my fears aren't true

This is the first place I heard about it. My mum and lots of my family are in England and around London so it's pretty disturbing. Waiting for them all to check in.

Best of luck with that Aus, hope they're all well

From what I've just read on the UK board mobiles are mostly out of service to allow emergency services priority over the lines.

Everybody has checked in. A cousin had just passed through Edgware Station before the explosion but that's the closest we got.

The UK emergency services response appears to be a very well oiled operation. Hopefully that will help save a lot of lives. That sort of opportunity didn't present itself on Sep 11.
