The BTP are saying it was a power surge.

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

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.
