London Terrorist Attacks
Published Thursday, July 07, 2005 by JamesBB2 | E-mail this post
So after a great celebration yesterday of getting the 2012 Olympics, the celebrations have now moved to a dark time. Firstly there was talks of a huge power surge on the Underground, then they thought 2 trains had collided, but now 4 Terrorist bombs have been confirmed to have exploded in the London Underground, and on Buses. The whole Underground Network is closed, bus network closed. This is scary stuff. Mobile and Telephone networks are down, police either taking over them or they have been blown out. I give my heart to all those people injured or killed in the attacks.
