You're kidding?!??!!??

Huffing and puffing?? Rather that than being injured/killed. Some people really need to get their priorities in order.

Stupid tosser.

Do you care to think that some of us may be slightly concerned about friends or relatives.

Agreed, think he meant the traffic rather than the injured.

What a great day so far!!!!

Got on train at Bedford.... was delayed by 30 mins due to overhead power line failures, got into St Pancras at 8:50. Walk down to Kings Cross Tude and it's literally just closed - thought it was just overcrowding!!

Euston,Russell Sq, Warren St all closed....... police, fire engines EVERYWHERE

45 min walk to the office and now reading all this!! (And just heard that a bus has been torn apart by an explosion) Can't help but wonder whether it's linked with yesterdays announcement of the Olympics!!!!

no mention of a number on skynews at the moment. He's probably having a coffee and left his phone in his bag or something.

So she's supposed to ignore all this and carry on as normal? Don't worry about the fact there may be more explosions?

You are such a hero.

this is because it all seems a bit of a co-incidence and we're waiting for the next explosion but saying that, we've past 15minutes without anymore news, maybe the most of it is over.

If it's an explosive device there is nothing to say there are no more of them waiting to go off. Also, the hypothetical device could be a so-called "dirty" bomb, so there is plenty to worry about, I would say.

I think the power surge is a cover, will have to wait and see if the conspiricy theories are right, but it thinks its very opportune to happen after the olympics

My sister was on Met line but other end to Liverpool street as she went in early fortunatly

My thoughts to those trying to find their loved ones

Yeah maybe a fair point, but when my brothers route to work is where the trouble has been and his phone is off and not at his desk.

That sort of comment isn't nice to read.
