8.50, London

Whats going on? Switch your TV's on now..

There have been apparent "power surges" and explosions in London this morning. A double decker bus has apparently been ripped in half.

London is gridlocked.

"All of the emergency services are on scene. There have been some casualties. This has been declared as a major incident," said the spokesman. "It's too early to state what has happened at this stage," he said.

The National Grid, which supplies power to the Underground, said there had been no problems with its system which could have contributed to the incidents.

"As I walked through the bus station I could see people lying on the ground, black, as if they'd been covered in smoke. There were about three or four people on the floor being treated."

Eyewitness Paul Woloszyn from BBC News, who was at Blackhorse Road station on the Victoria Line, said: "We were told there was a bomb at Liverpool Street station.

terrorists?

Sky news is now saying buses, and 5 stations with bombs.

edit- 3 seperate buses have exploded.

I just saw, do you recon there is more to come?

yep, loads of explosions. Hope JB is ok!

Sounds like a terrorist attack, bugger.

Hope all are London-dwelling members are alright.
Just heard about this too; seems to be growing in scale with every report I hear.
Too early to truly speculate on the culprits yet.

Yea by the sounds of it a terriost attack... dang that is deinfitely bad news.

been another...

Whole underground is closed.. its sounding bad.

Eye witness saying that she saw one of the buses blow up. Apparently she turned around and saw the top of the bus in mid air.

I'm worried.

Could it be because of London being the next host of the 2012 Olypmic games?

na, probs something to do with the G8 summit.

Can't be anything to do with 2012- this would take months to plan if its a terrorist attack.

nPower are saying there is no evidence of any kind of power surge over the Underground network. GNER have cancelled trains in and out of London.

Reports that 3 buses had explosive devices on board.

this is some scary shit! i'm just checkin the sky news websitefor anythin!!

Reuters: "At least 90 casualties at Aldgate Station"

Blair will be on soon with a statement.

Hope all London based people and their relatives/friends are OK.

Been watching since this was breaking this morning, shocking stuff, terrorists beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Blair will comment before 12.

I've heard about Brighton and Swindon explosions.. god... can't be right.

Holy fuck. This is big. London under attack by terrorists. Shit, I hope JB and Drac are OK.

Good luck to all Londoners on the board.

Didn't hear that one, where did you?

According to sky, the Army is on the streets.

All transport in London has been stopped.

6 explosions says Sir Ian Black. "Confusing situation", tells media not to speculate.

Didn't hear that one, where did you?

4 seperate posters on a forum- I'm hoping they're not right.

We shuoldn't speculate on who did it but the police need to confirm the fact it is terrorists - coincidence only goes so far. 5 Different rail stations and three buses is way beyond that.

Shocking.

but the police need to confirm the fact it is terrorists

No, right now they need to secure the area, make sure people are safe, stop further injuries.

The blame can come later.
