Bombs in London
So I apologise to Lord Coe for the post below. If anyone who lives or works in London wants to leave a comment telling us they are alive and well, please do. To my friend who made me leave my bike at his and get the tube this morning, thanks. I actually feel rather lucky given I pass through Edgware Road when I get the tube at almost exactly the time the bombs went off, but was late this morning.Update:I don't intend to keep updating this post with news, as the BBC or newspaper sites do that much better. However I'll note there is now a tentative estimate of deaths, which is 33.
Update II: It's now 37. The worst domestic British terrorist act in terms of deaths was Lockerbie, with 270, and the worst on the ground was in Omagh, at 29. THe worst in London was the Household Cavalry bombing in 1982, killing 8. However in terms of total casualties at 750 and rising this is the worst in British history.
Update III: Now 50.
