Explosion in London

The London tube has been evaucated network wide, based on reports of an explosion. According to Londonist, one witness says a man's rucksack exploded and that the bombing was an "attempted suicide bombing...but the bomb didn't work properly."

It's been two weeks since the series of bombings in downtown London.

I have several friends and Co-workers in London.
Hope there isn't any Fatalities.

I'd like to think that if some jackass tried this and had his bomb fizzle here in NYC, bystanders would beat him to a bloody pulp long before the police arrived.

Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

Well, Brightliner, If something goes "BANG" in the subway, Likely *I'd* Run for it first...

Funny, last night I was riding the 6 train home, and I was sitting in one of those flip up corner chairs. I forgot what a loud noise those things make when getting up, so I got up quickly, which produced a loud "BANG!" I thought the half the people were going to have a heart attack, and the looks of fear almost made me crack up. Goes to show everyone's still abit on edge.
