Something is going on.
This is not Arab terror, I am willing to bet.
This is something new. I would wager the anarchist extremists are at work.
I will have to check on my folks to see if anyone I know is down there.
If any of my family are hurt, I will be cremating the nearest crustie.
PS
This is war now. A social war. The lefties have thrown down the gauntlet.
We can now see what the anarchists think of 'the people.'

Most of us are getting on with our lives. It's the best way to respond. If you can help those who need it, then do it, otherwise get on with it. That's what we did when 9-11 went down.aneeshm said:

Its a Western thing. We place so much importance on individuals, that just a few deaths have a great impact on us.aneeshm said:

True, but there's likely increased chatter in telecommunications. Probably picked up by the ECHELON network.
I hate to do this in this thread, but you leave me no option.
Moderator Action: Curt: Cut it out.
Everybody: Cease pointing fingers and blaming groups/individuals until it is clear what exactly happened.
Thank you.

Unlikely anarchist or IRA ...this is very like madrid in the style bombing .so i suppose it smore likely to be Bin laden people.
Reports of *another* explosion coming in.

I'm not complacent, dear god how could I be today? I am just suggesting that we have some experience of involving ordinary people in preventing terror attacks.
I think you're forgetting the extent of the IRA campaign - living in London through those years I was caught up in two explosions personally, one of my employer's offices was destroyed only months after I changed jobs, hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage caused and hundreds of lives taken.
Complacency hasn't left us vulnerable, we have always been vulnerable.
FYI, per BBC Al Quaida have just claimed responsibility, their not sure if it is genuine.

OK, my bad.
Sorry, folks!
I was letting the emotion of the moment take me.

When you think about it: A co-ordinated attack of bombs on buses and tubes is not very hard to pull off in London, if you have the bombs and the will that is. It is impossible to check everyone who gets on a bus or tube. Simply impossible. We've got a real problem here.
I've often walked around London with a massive bag full of clothes or records and thought "Gees, I've just taken this thing through 3 major stations, walked past the Houses of Parliament or Whitehall, riden a few buses, all with this bag on my back and no one bothers to think if there is a bomb in it or not."
If you consider that, then it's obvious how people can organise such an attack without alerting the authorities. It's very low-tech. This all shows that there are many cells lying in wait and that a simple text message, with anything as simple as a single letter, could potentially be the signal to execute whatever mission at whatever date.

Copycat?
Obviously the attack on Madrid was very succesful, from a terrorist point of view, so why wouldn't other groups copy the method, to increase their "success"?
Let's just stop pointing fingers now! You all can NOT prove a single thing. Let the appropropriate agencies figure out who to blame. They are undoubtably more skilled in this than we are!

Ain't that bolding the truth! I didn't mean to call you complacent and sorry to hear of your involvement.bigfatron said:

People are saying suicide bombers were used. (speculate)
the word "suicide" immediately narrows down the probable cause.
Thou no one hs confirmed it so all we an asumme atm are they are bombs
We dont even know what explosive were used
