Possible terrorist attack on the London tube network

A possible terrorist attack has occured accross the London tube network. The whole network has been shut down. On my way to work on the Silverlink this morning we were told that due to an emergency the Victoria line was closed. News reports say that all major stations are closed. A work collegue has just arrived from London Bridge were he says they were announcing the lost of various lines one by one….in a “We have just lost the Jubilee line” sort of fashion. He says he saw fire engines everywhere as well as ambulances. He didn’t see any casualties.

Hmmm the G8 starts today in Scotland. A coincidence: I think not.

Another work collegue is in Trafalgar square and apparently they are not letting people onto busses. Sky news reports that a bus has exploded.
