Whoa, 2 threads. I didn't notice this one! Sorry. ****, Spike where abouts do you live? I can't believe it happened o_0

 

[Spike_1412]

I live in Bolton, so not far from you.
My dad has some friends that live in/near London so yeah.

 

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

Oh right! That's good then.

Yeah it's bad. I have a couple online buddies from London. I need to check on them when I get home >.<

Were there any major builing hit..srry i didnt have time to reed the pasage

 

[uwantme2b]

I don't think any buildings were destroyed, but all the underground train services have been stopped as there were three explosions on different trains. A double decker bus was destroyed as well and a lot of people have been killed.

I heard about this earlier... how can people be so sick as to do this?

All those who are awaiting news from relatives *hugs*, hope they're okay

 

[Hybrid Soldier]

No buildings have been hit, so far attacks have only been on public transportation, there have been 4 already.
Damn, people must be sick in the mind to do **** like this. damn Osama.

[azemkamikaze03]

Hmmm maybe some of the Bush bashers and war haters vision wont blur anymore

 

[XrockinfreakX]

read!
Ok thats the cnn article... man 700 injured 37 killed eh. Now they are gonna talk about this in the G8 summit thing. People are sick for doing this.

 

[uwantme2b]

I heard it was 40 killed... maybe that was an estimate.

I think it is an "at least" figure too - it could well be even higher than that. This is terrible.

 

[Pheonix791989]

i just think that ppl who do this sort of stuff is really wrong.

It's sad, I really thought the terrorist attacks were over. But atleast it's not as bad as 9/11.

 

[uwantme2b]

^ As I said in the other thread, I think it's all relative. I don't wish to say that 9/11 was worse because people died today. I don't see how we can say that today was less significant, when innocent people died and lives were changed forever. Besides, Britain is a far smaller country than America, and the whole country is practically on red alert now.

 

[Hybrid Soldier]

it is definitly good that this didnt became 9/11-sized though. I agree that they are both as bad, but 9/11 is worse, because lives were changed in both, but more were changed in 9/11.

yea that's what I meant, I didn't mean that this wasn't bad, but 9/11 was defiantly worse. thousands of people died, not tens.

 

[uwantme2b]

I see your point, but it's just my personal opinion that you can't compare them. I don't think we can decide the severity of this simply on the numbers of people affected. It isn't any less significant, put it that way, just because less people were involved.
