Two explosions on London Underground....

two different stations a way apart, Liverpool Street and Edgware Road. Probably cause is ebing said a power failure but that is unconfirmed.

Apparently a bus has exploded as well at Euston Station. Arabs?

The BTP are saying it was a power surge.

A power surge blew up the top of a bus? Hardly likely.

Apparently Sky have footage of the bus exploding. Skys site (obviously) appears to be overloaded at the moment - though I'm not sure they have actually placed the footage online.

'a bus ripped apart' according to an eye witness on BBC news 24 - there has been an explosion at Russel square (possibly a bin)

The top deck of the buss was missing apparently - with 1 fatality

Yeah. I know. If its footage taken from a helicopter, then...well, I can imagine why its not been shown currently.

If things have been planted on buses and in bins...that kinda makes walking the streets of central london a little scary. Someone at work cant get in touch with his brother - and someone else is scared shitless cause one of her relatives is currently travelling on a london bus.

No idea how i'll be getting home tonight, from leciester square. though i'm sure every londoner is thinking the same thing.

just hit me....and rather obvious really. the bus attacks happened after the london underground was closed down. so, they waited for everyone to pile onto the buses before....well, you know.

3 bus explosions apparently. thing is, there is a complete lack of information at the moment.

mobile network is down (probably to stop any remote detenations).
