Car bomb in Central London
 
This could have been total carnage.

Fucking scary.
Strange that the guy did not care much of going unnoticed, and even stranger the fact that he ran away leaving the lights on and the car "parked" in such a noticeably unordinary state... drunken terrorist???

I work 3 mins from where the bomb was found. Thank god it was found and defused.

sarramkrop 06.29.2007 06:45 AM

It makes things a bit worrying again because I commute through the city every morning. Oh well.

ZEROpumpkins 06.29.2007 06:57 AM

Heavy, aint it?

ming!

Is it definitely a failed terrorist attack?

Or was it just someone abandoning a dodgy motor full of building materials?

If it was a terrorist, why was he seen trying to remove the gas cannisters from the car?

I wouldn't panic just yet.

Racist.

Anyway, who knows? I think most people in London wouldn't panic even if the bomb had gone off. It was definitely a bomb, but it looks more like the work of some loner, a bit like the one who bombed Brixton, the gay pub in Soho and Brick Lane a few years ago.

It looks like Scotland Yard didn't even see it coming. They should be thankful that passers-by noticed something suspicious about the car.

Its a good thing they have cameras on every street corner in England watching your every movement to stop this kind of thing!

Oh wait, the cameras did nothing to stop this.

Nefeli, thats a couple of blocks or so from where You, Me, Jenn and Naomi stayed in 2004 before ATP isn't it?

sarramkrop 06.29.2007 08:36 AM

Was there a Holiday Inn full of SY boardies?

"this bloke left behind an empty bottle of single-malt and a sticky copy of Blarney Babes. there's like 6 different kinds of Sharia violations right there. I hate to say it, but we aren't dealing with muslims any longer. that can only mean one thing: it was..........THE IRISH"

He must have been in a good mood at that time. I hear that he takes innocent groups of Nirvana fans to see Madame Butterfly, when he's having a bad day.

The irony was lost on you too. I know that you're not racist, just slightly xenophobic.:)
