But your on the internet right?  4 bombs went off in London during morning rush hour...

For those that dont know...

LONDON:

Subways, buses hit across city; at least 33 dead, 350 hurt

More than 30 die in London blasts
     Passengers evacuate an underground train at Kings Cross
A series of bomb attacks on London's transport network has killed more than 30 people and injured scores more. There were three explosions on the Underground - which police said left 33 dead - and one on a double-decker bus in which an unknown number died.

UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has returned to London from the G8 summit, has described the attack as "barbaric".
An Islamist website has posted a statement - purportedly from al-Qaeda - claiming it was behind the attacks.
US President George Bush told reporters at the G8 Summit in Gleneagles that "the war on terror goes on."
The Queen said she was "deeply shocked" and sent her sympathy to those affected.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Brian Paddick confirmed 33 people had died in the blasts on the Underground. He said there were 21 confirmed fatalities following the blast at 0856 BST in a tunnel between King's Cross and Russell Square.
There were seven confirmed deaths after a blast in a blast at 0851 BST 100 yards into a tunnel from Liverpool Street station. The train was either a Central Line or Circle Line train. And at 0917 BST an explosion on a train coming into Edgware Road underground station blew a hole through a wall onto another train in an adjoining platform. Three trains were thought to be involved and there were five confirmed deaths so far, Mr Paddick said.
He said it was not yet known how many died in the bus blast at 0947 at the junction of Upper Woburn Square and Tavistock Place.

In other developments:
The officer in charge of policing the G8 summit said many of the 1,500 Metropolitan Police officers in Scotland would be urgently redeployed to London
New Olympics minister Tessa Jowell said celebrations to mark the homecoming from Singapore of the successful London Olympic bid team have been cancelled
Pope Benedict said the blasts were "barbaric acts against humanity" in a message to the Archbishop of Westminster Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor
54 state schools were closed in Westminster
Mobile phone services across London were jammed with all major networks reporting problems as people tried to contact relatives and friends. A spokeswoman for Vodafone said the emergency services were being given priority.

Some 208 casualties were taken to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, with 26 people admitted - 13 are in theatre and another three are in intensive care. The city's St Mary's Hospital said it was dealing with 26 injured people, including four with critical injuries and eight in a serious condition.

    People were screaming and shouting and saying things like I'm dying, I'm dying, please help me.   Ana Castro Liverpool Street Station    Eyewitness reports   

Mr Paddick confirmed police were looking into whether the bus blast was the work of a suicide bomber. But, he added: "It could as easily be an explosive device left on the bus as the work of a suicide bomber. We are not able to determine which it was yet."
London Mayor Ken Livingstone, speaking from Singapore before flying back to the UK, said Londoners would not be divided by a "cowardly attack". He said it was an "indiscriminate" attempt at slaughter with no consideration for age or religion.

All London Underground services have been suspended indefinitely and bus services in central London (Zone One) have been halted.

Early reports had suggested a power surge could be to blame for explosions on the Underground but this was later discounted. Describing the bus blast in Tavistock Square, witness Belinda Seabrook said she saw an explosion rip through the vehicle.
"I was on the bus in front and heard an incredible bang, I turned round and half the double-decker bus was in the air," she said.
She said the bus had been travelling from Euston to Russell Square and was "packed" with people turned away from Tube stops. "It was a massive explosion and there were papers and half a bus flying through the air." she said.

One caller to BBC Five Live said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open like a can of sardines".

WTF is wrong with people!
Damn that sucks. Another reason I do not keep up with the news.

To all the GS Brothers and Sisters of London take care and sorry for your losses

Joe

Hope all you guys were/are/will be OK!

Let's us know you are alright...

*Brat*

yeah, it sucks what happened today. They said its a european al queda group. They attacked them because of their participation in afghan and Iraq War. I feel good sometimes that Canada didnt participate in the Iraqi war. Although we still have some of our troops in Afghan, we wont be going to Iraq.

i don't watch tv nor listen to radio either... and most important: i don't go hunting for terror on the internet.

you know who the real terrorist are? the mass media.
they are the ones spreading all this... and not for information, but for profit (more traffic to them = more $$$).

take care and get well to those close to these issues.

If you disagree with the war in Iraq, and that is why you're glad your country stayed out of the fight, then I say I understand your position.  Staying out of a fight because you think it is wrong is every person's (and country's) right.

If fear of reprisals is why you're glad Canada stayed out, then go to hell, and don't argue with Americans when we call Canadians pu$$ies.  To me, your statement sounds disturbingly like "the british deserved it" for going to war in Iraq.  If you think that terrorists won't strike at you if you don't strike at them, you are simply delusional.  

I know that many people believe that what we are doing in Iraq will not make the world any safer, and they may be right.  But sitting still sure hasn't made it any safer.  When/If the world turns out to be a safer place because of what the US, British and others are doing in Iraq, I hope you take the time to thank the parents of the people who died in the effort to make it that way--soldiers AND civilians--and to reflect on the fact that your country chose to sit on its hands.

We're fighting for Canada's safety, too...you just refuse to admit it.  

But hey, the NHL is back!!

Sory to jack such an importaint thread.. but..

"OTTAWA - Ottawa now admits that some Canadian soldiers are in Iraq, even though Canada refused to join the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein

There are troops in Iraq from every country that said "we wont send any troops" When I was in Baghdad just months ago I worked directly with 8 RCAF personnel. Canada just isnt sending whole brigades.. but they have troops right in the heart of Baghdad.

We are all in this together. We need everyone to help put a stop to terror! Even if they are Canadian!  :kiss:

I do disagree with the war since the very beginning. It has nothing to do with the fact that we might get "attacked" if we participate. I never really agreed with all the reasoning thats all. We have fought in many wars alongside of the USA. But IMO, i really do think we did not belong in this one. If lets say Canada would have gone to Iraq, and I was in the army, i would have resigned for sure. It would for sure not be because of fear of death, more for the reason. If it was WWI and Canada would have had a draft (yes, we had one) i would have gone no questions asked, i would have been proud to go. Without the USAs help, if we ever had a war, we would be struggling like crazy, our military is nowhere near as powerful as the U.S. nor will it ever be. So i am for sure not insulting the military either, we would need your help in the event of war. But i do not consider Canadians being pussies for not going to Iraq. Like you said, every country has the right to believe in whether its a war they believe in fighting. I love my country like crazy i would not want to live anywhere else. (i actually like the snow in winter, snowmobiling is the best) Sorry if i had offended you in my statement, and in no way did i want my post to describe the British deserving this for going to war. Our Prime Minister at the G8 meeting today in his statement said "We must and we will stand against these terrorists. We will do so together. And we will prevail." Looks like we might be going after them after all.   But anyways, yes the most important thing of all, The NHL is most likely back. F*ck ya!!   I miss hockey so much. its so sad, i was actually watching reruns of the flames vs tampa. haha.

hmm...i never heard of this to be honest with you, and i watch my cbc news everynight. Must have been drunk on the evening of march 27.  :lol:  

To all those in England my heart goes out to all there for what has happened yesterday, while watching BBC coverage I was quite amazed to see how calm many people were during the chaos it is great to see during the event England kept its dignity, the terrosists have failed and all your security and rescue services are to be congratulated for their professionalism.
Once again I would like to send my sympathies to all the English for this barbaric act.
On a side note though this may sound a little hollow but congrats on the Olympics and beating us at cricket last night.

Cool.  Sorry for flaming...I misinterpreted what you said.  Go Caps!

I don't remember a pre-Iraqi war  terrorist attack on England, but  I have a really bad memory.  Was there one that I'm not aware of?
