London Explosions - Page 2

pinkgothic · 07-07-2005, 03:55 AM

I'm not in London, but I wish I was, to help. I've got good friends there, some horribly close to the targetted stations and I'm just hoping they're okay.

simpson_yellow · 07-07-2005, 04:45 AM

Been thinking of you guys as I've seen the images roll in. Hope you're guessing wrong, squarejaw, and that this isn't a precursor to something more.

*Waits for SCRUGates and Nuttygal to post....*

Catbert · 07-07-2005, 04:48 AM

Well it was bound to happen. I hope everyone is safe and sound. This is so ****ed up. Third time these things happen and I'm happily asleep...

adfegg · 07-07-2005, 04:52 AM

What really gets me, though, is that Bush and Blair are just going to use this as another excuse to throw their weight around abroad. It'll be the Iraq war all over again!

pinkgothic · 07-07-2005, 05:31 AM

Funny, using a sign that the tactic is backfiring to use the tactic again. Real funny.

*grinds*

*sighs* I really hope my friends are okay.

I've not heard back yet. *shift, shift, shuffle*

squarejawhero · 07-07-2005, 05:45 AM

Don't know if I can help, pinky...

gillyruless · 07-07-2005, 05:49 AM

My thoughts are with the folks in London as well.

Apparently a group called Secret Organization al Qaeda in Europe has claimed responsibility and warned that more attacks are coming in countries like Italy and Denmark which supported the Iraq war unless they pull out of Iraq. I hope that they are just bluffing. Wherever you are folks, please be safe.

RLacey · 07-07-2005, 06:23 AM

My condolences to all those in London, and I'm praying that as many people as possible are OK. Nobody deserves to be on the receiving end of this kind of treatment.

Ironic, perhaps, that newspapers so jubilantly proclaiming London 2012 this morning should feature London for a completely different reason tomorrow.

Just saw this. Christ.

What a terrible thing! Hope everyone from here is Okay! Makes you wonder if the Olympics were to go to Paris, if Paris would have been hit this morning instead. There's no telling what these bastards will do. It seemed like a well-planned attack to hit several places at once. Please be careful, and be safe!

I just woke up... This makes me want to go back to sleep and dream of boiling to death the people that did this.

squarejawhero · 07-07-2005, 06:40 AM

@FGM - unlikely. This is more about the G8.

mszv · 07-07-2005, 06:44 AM

Oh no. Please everyone in London, and everyone with London friends and family - please post on this thread to let us know how you are doing.

Please take care. My heart goes out to you.

Fairygdmther · 07-07-2005, 06:53 AM

SJH - time will tell, but the Olympics have had their share of terrorism as well. There was a terrible time in 1972 when several athletes were killed in the Olympic village, and then in Atlanta, too, with the bombing attempt.

The thick sarcasm wasn't intended for you in person, just to clarify upfront, it's just my general political opinion on the moment... cynical and pessimistic. Now as to what I mean: the fact this thing is happening seems like a prime example of how the "war on terrorism" and all related and spawned-from international war actions failed their purpose. So I'd be rather cynical to this being used as an excuse to further those things.

... 21 dead near King's Cross... *worries*

Gods... I hope I'm needlessly fretting...

saucyminx · 07-07-2005, 07:04 AM

I wasn't even aware of the news about the explosion. I haven't been watching the TV lately. That's the good thing about AG forums. It's as good as the cable news. What a terrible thing to happen.

Good luck to you all english game-stealers.

Better than cable news in my opinion, because we're hearing it from people we actually know and love.
