There's a new thread about an Israeli denial. Just now.
She randomly chose Tuesday to come home (today would have been a better day), and would have been in Kings Cross.
Thank You, Lord!
Also the friend's son was able to call home, and is also fine.
Continued prayers for the people of London.
Bump!
That report has been repeatedly denied. I would appreciate it if you would stop continuing to spread it.
exactly right. 8:48AM was the first plane strike on the WTC, same time at the first London bomb.
Thanks for the map!!!
Ohio.. We are with all in prayer. Thanks be to God for your daughter's safety.
IMHO the whole U.S. should be bumped to Orange.

Can anyone verify that?
The purpose of that rumor is to focus blame on the Jews. Exactly like 9/11, when it was said by the Muslims that the Jews were told to stay home that day.
Did someone already mention 7 bombs, on 7/7?
I just turned on CNN and it appears they are trying to pour salt on London's wounds. They have used 2 middle-eastern or India reporters in the heart of the terrorist acts in London.
Well, we are small. I would certainly hope a bigger place would have somebody dedicated to the wires though.
I check them pretty often, but not usually until after 8 or so since I normally don't come in until then.
yes, I was only commenting that he was in London today.
We're still praying for you as you and your family work through the worry.
