I hate to be the one to say it but.. What impact will the "big badda booms"
across london have on the situation?? I was listening to the radio this morning and they say that over 2million ppl use the tube daily and 4 million on buses. I was there late 03 and used the tube regularly,the city cant function without the tube etc. I also stayed in a hotel in russell square where one of the bombs went off..

NEWS FLASH: tube and buses are running as normal besides some delays around kingscross station..

the terrorists know how to attack with maximum impact!!

I cant stop thinking that it was only a matter of time....
PaulHamonr
of course it was only a matter of time... and now that attack has happen it's probably the safety it's been in london since 911 smile.gif Since the terrorists have never struck twice in one place, NY no, Bali no, Madrid no....

Now is the time to head over to london wink.gif

As for the 2012 games... that's 7 years away... allot of things will change in that time... but as for these bomb affect the games, not really IMO.

it's funny how one incident involving muslim extremists constitutes "massive upheavel". everyone seems to have forgotten a little thing called the IRA, and the destruction they have caused in london in the past. and on the george dubya laughing thing....he wasn't saying "told ya", he was thinking "dumbass terrorists just gave me another term!"
