Major Explosion on the underground

[Illinoisblue]

the advent of camera phones is a good thing - people need to see what happens when a bomb goes off.

I've no problem with joe public becoming the media.

Of all the photos, perhaps the most poignant is the one of the British Medical Association buidling splattered with blood.

Very well put Woodgnome

When you consider the perilous journeys many traverse to escape from the multitude of oppressive regimes around the world they truly don't stand a chance

You can preach the way a person should live their lives but unless this makes them content you will lose them everytime

The real attraction of Western Democracies which draws immigrants like moths to a flame isn't just the increased standard of living but its tolerance of different cultures and the right to practise your faith,whatever that may be

It is not outside the realms of possibility that a lone operator was responsible for all the bombs. While less likely than a group, if it is the case it was a loner, then the authorities would have had an impossible task to detect this "conspiracy"

It's equally likely, given the timings of the tube bombs (all within 50 seconds of each other) that they were planted by only one or two people, as all the lines targeted can be reached from a fairly central point. Again,if this is the case, the size of the group would make it virually impossible for the authorities to detect.

Until we have all the facts, and that won't be for several more days of forensic investigation at the earliest, then I suggest you stop posting your drivel.
