London Terror Attacks

Postby Petal » Thursday 7 July 2005 3:25:07pm

I want to send my thoughts and prayers to all of you in Great Britian,
and my hopes that no further attacks occur. Life is so special and
these attacks affect us all. Hugs and warm wishes to all of you!!

Well said Petal.

As far as I know there have only been two casualties (so far), but there are plenty of injuries. It's so sad when something like this happens :( I hope everyone here at BaO and thier family members are okay.

Two verified casualties, there are probably plenty more that havn't yet been verified. And there are a lot of people who are injured.

at least 45 critical, at least 300 walking wounded I think (its a bit confusing)

Tony Blair rocks. He just came on and in press release totally blew my mind. Somehow, if OUR president said anything like that, he'd sound like a complete idiot

37 confirmed by the BBC so far.

Yeah, scary as I was at work and we were getting actioned as standby support, with operations rolling out...emails every five minutes with an update on the situation and new instructions.

And all the time I was wondering if my mum was OK :-?

My best wishes to those who don't know if their loved ones are OK, and those that unfortunatly, know they are not.
