I am in the UK - Edinburgh - at the moment and watching the news:

It is almost certainly not a terrorist incident, it seems to have been a massive power surge that caused an outage on the London tube - therefore causing some trains to collide.

I heard that on the radio. 650 kste 2pm PST news

[cooper72]

Debka.com says that a London bus was bombed as well. Debka better be lying. It is an Israeli disinformation site. But it can be dead accurate about tomorrow's news sometimes.

DON'T START STUPID RUMOURS!

[Samwise]

Prayers for your son and everyone else.

[Allegra]

Perhaps these are just rumors that tend to spring up during situations like this? Who's saying it was bombs?

I fervently hope it was not bombs.

But, with it being rush hour, you just never know...

[Eurotwit]

SKy News talking about the roof of a bus having been blown off, but cannot confirm it yet.

bbc.co.uk has live internet video coverage now.... just turned it on.

click on "watch bbc news in video" button.

[Eurotwit]

Sky News also talking about a bus.

[cooper72]

Word of mouth now has it that it is definately bombs - including one on a bus at Russell Square - I heard the explosion. Reports of body parts at Aldgate as well.

Absolute nonsense, it is a POWER SURGE!

[Samwise]

You are up early. Did you fall asleep on the couch? :^)

I just talked to my son, he and his group over slept this morning because they had a final dinner last night and should have been on that train. My son was so stunned that he couldn't talk when I told him which stations were involved. The whole group of students should have been on that train.

If true that changes things. unless they are electric and use the overhead wires.

"According to reports a bus has exploded in central London just minutes after a number of blasts on London's Underground.

"I saw lots of people running up a road and then saw the top of a bus destroyed," one eyewitness told Sky News.

CNN now going to Gleneagles. No mention of reaction to problem in London.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Fox covering it now.

[onyx]

I just checked all the cable channels and found nothing but regular programming.

[Miss Marple]

Yes. My husband is out of town so I was watching TV on the sofa and fell asleep. Fox News gong woke me.

[Eurotwit]

CNN Int. staying with London. I just got in from my morning walk. I cannot believe this. I hope the stuff about the bus is just rumours.

[onyx]

OK. Thanks. I'll give it a go.

[Killing Time]

Like I said, I heard an explosion - I am five minutes from Russell Square (and often take the bus that way).
