    Thumbs down Explosions in London, UK

    Anyone watching the news will have probably heard about it.

    There were originally 2 train explosions being blamed on power surges and with few injuries.

    However now it seems Scotland Yard have confirmed 3 bus explosions. And there is chaos in London.

    All Trains on the underground have been shut down and all trains/transport into the centre has also been stopped.

    Will try and update with anything new but the sky news/bbc websites are being hammered.

    This shocked me when I heard about it just before 11 o'clock. I don't think it's fair to place blame yet as it's all too early to say anything.

    Jesus, I've just spoken to my Dad - he's in Holborn, London and heard the bus explode. Had he been late, it would have been the bus he would have taken.

    6 trains, 1 bus. 2 confirmed deaths and lots of injured. TV down here has just mentioned that Al Qaeda has apparently claimed responsibility.

    Bristol is about 160km away from London; I'm sure he's fine.
