These are taking place in London currently pretty much every day. We get emails telling us from building management so as to avoid the areas that are shut off. They had a controlled explosion at Bank mid morning due to a suspect package. Seems like anything remotely dubious is getting blown up until things calm down.

Yesterday morning the Northern Line was put on hold due to a suspect package, I expect things like this will continue for some time.

They are now attending and have cordoned off a suspect car on Finsbury Circus, some poor soul is going to come back and find their car with controlled explosion damage, wonder how you explain that one to the insurance company.

Now its a suspect package on a bus at Bishopsgate

I wonder how many of these cry wolf situations are the work of hoaxers "having a laugh".

Took me a while to reply, as I had to check each category in the collection and then replace in alphabetical order. My findings are that it would take a bomb similar to that used on Hiroshima to cause a mild impact on said collection...
