Default Terrorist attack?
From a mate on Facebook:

"Nowt on the news yet but we've just witnessed what appeared to be a car mowing down pedestrians near the natural history museum. Tons of police but no news yet!"

1 guy detained.


At the back of my mind I seem to recall that Natural History Museum was in the news in last few weeks. A new exhibit to bring in more crowds. Ring any bells?


Fabulous place btw.


Hope no serious injuries or fatalities. But Boris can collect any dead bodies and get the crowds back.

Perhaps the assumption of terrorism was premature.

I was there (well inside the Natural History Museum), looking on from the 2nd floor.

BiB's were on the ball very quickly and cordoned off a large area.

Thoughts to the 11 injured, fortunately turns out to be a numpy who hit a bollard and veered into the pedestrians.
