What’s the weather like there? We’ve been having unbelievably high humidity here that turns your newspapers damp and hair flat if you’re outside for more than a few minutes, and you don’t want to know what the subway platforms are like. Could it have affected any wicks/detonators/explosives? Any explosives experts out there?
I have to leave, actually–going to an event in Bryant Park, and yes, I have to take the subway. Stay safe, Londoners, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Just posting a link to this excellent minute-by-minute report on the BBC web site http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4703973.stm
Oddly enough, a security alert at Shepherd’s Bush completely banjaxed the Central Line earlier today, from about 10.00 hrs. Apparently some absolute twat had accidentally left a suitcase somewhere - I reckon anyone being so bloody stupid in the current climate ought to be treated as if they had done it deliberately.
But the incident today was at the Hammersmith & City Line station, which is a good mile or so away from the Central Line one.
