There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.
There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.
The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.
A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."
A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."
British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".
"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.
"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."
One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.
The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.
He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot.
You called this one right.
Bump for the Chief
I couldn't help but think of him last night when we first heard about the attacks in London, knowing how he would have reacted.
Isn't it great FR has a live Sunday Morning Talk Show thread??? LOL! I MIGHT watch FNS, but that is it.
9/11 commission ... I thought that was a joke from day one. The Burgler, the Toon and his administration - walk away to continue bashing President Bush and his administration. No, they are not credible, IMHO.

Thanks - I try.
She wants more safeguards for trains. I didn't know terrorism was spread by lack of funding, too!
[Fudd Fan] So do I.
Crash eyewitnesses described aircraft behavior completely inconsistent with a shoe-bombing. A small bomb would more than likely (>80%) be ineffectual at such low altitude and speed. Weapons like that rely on aircraft speed and altitude (pressurization) to work. The initial skin rupture enlarges and the airframe disintegrates. That requires high speed and high altitude.
The Dominicana Airbus became unstable in the wake of a Japan Air Lines 747 it was following, lost its vertical stabilizer, and rolled belly-up and sideways, breaking apart under excessive g-forces at low altitude before falling into a Rockaway neighborhood.
Hildebeast just got the Moveon memo she has now issued a statement that looks just like the other ones that made it about them by taking a shot at the Administration.
"Violence rarely gets us anywhere; the PLO, the IRA, the SLA, among others have achieved so little with their terrorism. If the London bombings are the work of an Al Qaeda offshoot, then you have to fairly say, in the same way we condemn other's terror, this is in part the result of Bush's War on Iraq."
What an idiot. How do people this stupid get into a position which somehow then allows them to think they can tell us what to do??
AAAAaarrrgggg!!!
Does anyone know if this was an actual cut, or just no increase?
I didn't know terrorism was spread by lack of funding, too!
Everything with her/them has to do with taking more of our money.
To be fair, it's only Jann Wenner... :)
But yeah, the stupidity is pretty alarming.
In the dems world, every thing that goes wrong is because of a lack of funds, NOT the people that mess up, are lazy, are crooked, or any other reason..
It is always the $$$$$$$$$$$
I also think Hillary is upset that the White House told New York to return millions of dollars that are still in the 9/11 Fund, that haven't been used....
I wonder how many guards for trains could have been paid for with just the money she used traveling to Singapore, just to be told ---NO, GO HOME, by the Olympic Committee?
NEED MORE MONEY!
What I would have given to be there for that. lol
Rape versus Terrorism...
Rape - regardless of any and all actions by the victim - leftest position: Rape is wrong, the rapist is evil, the victim is innocent.
Terrorism - regardless of any and all terrible atrocities committed by the terrorists - the leftist position: the victim is wrong, the terrorists had legitimate reasons, the victim is guilty.
Oh, thank God!!!!!! I will pray for the other three. Please let us know when they find them!
OHH Mad Ivan Brit freeper said that they should reopen Tower of London I totally agree with that LOL!
Can't wait to hear what Mr. Hillary has to say about this...let's see, he was in London earlier this week talking about how the US to way to cheap when it comes to giving money to African dictators...
He is gonna insult President Bush, but how does he do it, without having his words thrown back in HIS face???
He can't say we should have gone after Bin Ladin...he didn't!
He can't say that President Bush "made" these terrorists, by going to war in Iraq, because he both made regime change in Iraq a policy under HIS watch, but HE had the same group attack when HE was President....
He is clever and mean, so I am sure he will find someway to try to make George Bush look the fool...
All the kids are now accounted for. I don't have any of the details, except that they are packing to leave London tomorrow. Thanks for your interest.
