Guess we were just lucky. We've lived under threat of terrorism for so long in London that (people of my age) are a bit blase about it - just sweep up the glass and carry on.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	but... how can something in this magnitude happen in a country with "good" police force and intelligence services. I mean, 6 almost cimultaneous blasts. that means that the work done to stop these blasts has been in vain. either because inefficient methods were used or ... well, I bet this would have not taken place in the former DDR. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, not really what I should answer there. saying no would not be fully accurate and saying yes... well it's far from my will too. if I would be in charge of my private army, then maybe. oh, and now the police says there was 7 blasts. that number might also rise as soon as they learn to count to 10. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Breaker Breaker Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-06-15 Posts: 268 Loc: Yorkshire, England	Yep, we've pretty much ground to a standstill here in the City. Most people seems to be OK, the confirmed killed and wounded counts are still mercifully low - but its still early days yet. Any other people on the board based in central London - how you doing? I'm next door to Tower Bridge and it seems less manic here than in the centre towards King's Cross/Russell Sq... _________________________ ================================================ Breaker

Breaker Breaker Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2001-06-15 Posts: 268 Loc: Yorkshire, England	No, we had our chance to boot His Toniness out a couple of months ago - whoops! Don't forget, London has lived with the threat (and sometimes the reality) of terrorism for nearly 30 years, so in many ways the emergency services were ready. Doesn't make it less terrible, though. Looking forward to my two hour walk home now - don't think I'll get on a bus for a while.... guess there aren't any other Londoners on the board after all. The death toll is beginning to mount up now - plus they're still evacuating at least one train that was trapped in the tunnels (well, the people on it anyway) - but the general attitude seems pretty positive. You know, f*ck 'em, I'm going to get on with life anyway kind of thing. Not me, of course - I'm just glad that everyone I know seems to be ok, and even more glad that I'm spending the next couple of days in North Yorkshire with my wife's family! _________________________ ================================================ Breaker
