Exactly two weeks on to the day of the terrorist bombings in London, three incidents have occurred at Warren St, Shepherd's Bush and Oval tube stations as well as an incident involving a bus in Bethnal Green, East London. Most people in my office are out at lunch at the moment but it has been reported that these explosions involving men with rucksacks, were bomb detonators going off as some of the suspects were witnessed running away and minimal damage and injuries have occurred.
The police and services have gone to a raised state of emergency and these suspected terrorist attacks have caused the tube system to be suspended until further notice causing more transport headaches for commuters later this evening. I decided to ride in this morning so should be ok getting home give or take a couple of road diversions.
With news breaking by the minute it is hard to tell exactly what has happened, but with the underground down again it seems this was another attempt to strike London which hasn't quite gone to plan, as luckily none of the bombs seem to have been properly detonated. Well, the full picture will only appear after things have calmed down so I'm off to lunch for now.
