What an awful day

And after so much elation yesterday @ the Olympic news.

I have still not heard from Mel (Pooka) has anyone else? She works on the underground, Victoria Line

I have heard figures of up to 90 fatalities. Friends who work in Kings Cross & Euston have texted me to say they are trapped in their offices with the blinds closed. My cousin who works in a city bank said a colleague of hers is injured. Everyone is stunned. According to the BBC website, Al-Quaida have claimed responsibilty already on an arabic website

Just got a txt from Alex (TheEmbryo), he says he's ok, he works above Euston and was evacuated

Translation:
"In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and the dauntless fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God’s peace be upon him. O nation of Islam and nation of Arabism: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge from the British Zionist Crusader Government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic mujahidin have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror, and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters. We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahidin exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid. We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused."

trully mad.
can't tell if it's true or not, but at least it's some sort of attack.

Dan - Glad to hear Wach is ok. I did txt her but i know the mobile networks are busy down there.

No, Matt (Karnorjax) doesn't live in London, so I would assume he's ok.

[sent a message just to check... he's ok]

I wasn't aware of this until i got Loopz text. Been at home today with music on. I hope to hear from Pooka soon, hope she and everyone else is okay. I was supposed to be going to the Asylum in London tonight but not sure if that'll be happening now.

Alex says he hasn't heard from Nick, but Nick apparently doesn't work near where any of the explosions happened

Tried to call Mel's phone. It is ringing but there is no answer. Can someone PLEASE post as soon as they've heard from her?
