SI Staff Paul Hecker Posted July 7, 2005 SI Staff Share Posted July 7, 2005 My girlfriend's mum just got home, her route into work is on the Picadilly Line. Her description was that everyone was getting trains like normal, then there were problems with the trains so everyone tried to use the Victoria Line instead, but there were still problems so instead again everybody got out and started using buses. Apparently then after having been on the bus for a while, it just plain stopped and all buses stopped and started showing 'Sorry not in service' signs instead of usual numbers/destinations and people were basically told to get off not to do anything. She's pretty shaken I think, I'm not sure how close she was to anything but she works in Liverpool St. and I dont think she was too far off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaave Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 although it's still early, and I don't want to engage in scaremongering right now, terrorists aren't exactly expert bomb builders and there have been times in the past when the explosion did not happen as planned. it may be that when they comb the wreckage areas, they find that the bombs were plannned to be much larger but there was a failure and that explains the somewhat small nature of the blasts.

TheCranker Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I can understand why people with loved ones in London are worried but tbh the odds of being involved in this incident are so remote they aren't in much more danger that if they'd driven down to the shops.

Guest DarthVader Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Clear that it's a precision act of terrorism which must have been months in the planning. The whole underground taken out. Awful. And those poor people. I have to say, and agree with some, that I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are more explosions or devices which failed to detonate are found.
