Bigwig Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Unfortunately it takes something like this for us to step up out security efforts.

We don't know who they got the bombs or whatever onto the trains, etc. Plus it sounds easy to just say 'yeah, stick metal detectors everywhere' but it's a lot harder in practice. I went backpacking round the States just after 9/11 and other than the major stations there was still no real security at most train stations or bus stations. It was going to happen at somepoint. It doesn't really matter what measures you put in place, sooner or later an attack will happen. Just be thankful that the emergency services did their jobs well.

merry_miller Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Must admit come to think of it, even in New York after 9/11 they didn't have metal detectors on the subway stations i used so would be just as easy to take a bomb onto there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to stop terrorism is to go after theise b@stards and the leaders who send them out. we've done it before in this country, we need to do it again. These people have declared war on this country, hence we need to show them what a war is. That means finding them and taking them out of the picture (either dead or detained).

Adam Webb Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well I've just got back from work in the city. My offices is on Lloyds Avenue a couple of hundred yards from Aldgate station and I would like to say the response of the emergency services today was amazing, within minutes of the first ecplosion at Liverpool St (about 10 mins after I left the station), the area was covered by police and ambulances. The whole of the City has had a really weird feeling today, no one really knew what to do. Especially as some of the people in my office use Aldgate every day and would have been on the station at the time. Well done our emergency services.
