I just called my mom, and she managed to get through to my sister: she is OK.
I was more than a little worried since she lives right bloody next to Edgeware road station and I couldn't contact her. She claimed that the whole house shook and it was a minor miracle that the windows didn't shatter. Apparently she slept in today.

The first body count I heard for Madrid was also around 40. Rest assured that it's going to go into 3 digits.Durandal wrote:Yahoo! has the latest figures: 40 dead, 334 injured, including 120 who have been treated and released.

What really fucking impresses me is how the UK is playing it as "Business as usual", even to the extent that Blairs intended agenda is to come down to London, have a few briefings and meetings, then head straight back to the G8 meeting. The House of Commons is still sitting and the FTSE is staging one unbe-fucking-lievable holding action.
Kudos to the UK for not having any "undisclosed location" or "My Pet Goat" incidents.

To be honest, it is in a way business as usual...we've had terrorist attacks since the 70's, we're not going to let it phase us.

I have yet to see anything about 40 deaths on BBC 24, hopefully that will soon be corrected.

Unlike the Madrid bombings, we have blasts in underground tunnels. I'd expect a significant fraction of the casualties from smoke inhalation rather than directly through the blasts.Durandal wrote:Jesus Christ, over a thousand wounded?

ITV are reporting at how people seem to be carrying on as normal. Maybe the spirit of the Blitz still lives on even after all these years?
Either way, there are sure to be many heroes that emerge from todays events.
