Heart Goes Out To London

I reconize that EE is not a source of fast breaking world news, but I would not feel right skipping a post on this:

Brian Paddick of the Metropolitan police said the first blast occurred at 8.51am on a tube train about 100 metres into a tunnel from Liverpool Street station. Seven people died. The second blast, with the highest confirmed death toll so far, came five minutes later on a tube train on the Piccadilly line near King's Cross. Police confirmed 21 deaths.

At 9.15am, a third explosion hit a train in Edgware Road station, blowing a hole through the wall of a second train and possibly affecting a third. The explosion killed five people.

The final blast came half an hour later on a number 30 bus at Tavistock Square, near Russell Square. Mr Paddick said people had been killed in that attack, but did not confirm how many.

My sympathies go out to the people killed and injured, and thier families.
