What makes it really hard for me and i guess most of you uk guys (and I know theres nothing they can do) is that the mobile phone services were only for emergency purposes.

90% of my family live and work around the areas that it all happened.

It is very worrying making that first call and not actually speaking to them.

I'm about to leave the office and it's already mostly empty. It's very weird - like an end-of-school feeling - "We get to go home early!" Yet we're only half a mile or so away from Kings Cross and Aldgate East.

Take it easy dudes

Glad and relieved to hear our British friends on the board seem to be doing OK, and I hope your people are OK, too. And please keep posting about what's happening ... somehow it feels less filtered than what we're getting on the major news networks here in the States.

God, what a fucked up world we live in sometimes.

I hope everyone on here (and well, everyone in general) is safe and ok.




I know and agree that it is way too early for this type of thing, and apart from enjoying the dudes in the wigs whenever i get a chance to see em on tv, i know nothing of British politics. But i just wanted to say in regards to what some people mentioned about the country about to take a serious lurch to the right... if you forgive the bastardization of Alice Cooper, "Welcome to our nightmare".

anybody else find the name of the guys taking credit for this pretty dumb, “The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europeâ€

Yes and yes.

This thread is the first I've heard of the attacks and it feels like a much healthier (more real?) way to learn of them than through "the media."

Looks like a fair share of the EABoard Londoners are okay...here's hoping friends and loved ones are the same.

Oh god.
I'm so sorry about this.

Is anyone missing around here? I can't think of anyone right now. I'm so glad we've heard from those of you who are ok.

Please be careful.

sending best wishes your way, folks.
I thought of all y'all when I first heard about it this morning.
Glad to see the londoners posting.


best to you and yours,

Has the Rabbit checked in yet? Kiddos okay?

My stepmom and dad just got to London yesterday for a month of work. Hoping the lines are up soon so I get a check in.

The transport and mobile network is still in chaos. I managed to get through to my wife after forty minutes of speed re-dialing her mobile number. She is saying that the only way for her to currently get home is to get a riverboat down the Thames from Westminster to London Bridge, and then walk up to our house, somehow circumventing Aldgate and Liverpool Street. Apparently there are already massive queues at the pier.

They are now saying there was only four bombs not six. At first it appeared that there were six because two were in tunnels, between stations, leading to double reports.
