London Spacers, Drop a message if you are OK here.

ShineDog · Post by **ShineDog** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 2:37 am

Message from STrRedWolf: I'm pushing this up to the top. If you don't know, six bombs were set off in London's underground rail system (one on a bus). They've found more unexploded bombs. CNN has it as their front page, and Slashdot has their own report. And now back to your message

since we have several spacers in london, and weve got this whole shitpile going on in london right now, i thought it would be good if those spacers in london could drop a message letting everyone know they are ok, i TOTALLY understand that posting in an obscure forum is not your top priority right now, but let us know when you can, because we are worried.

just so they dont have to because i understand they are stressed out at the moment, confirming that both ryclaude and rowen are both ok.

It seems at this point that the number of fatalities is minimal. Nothing at all like, say, Bali.

But, well, it's early.

Worried about Ping and Lag, and hoping they drop in if they're ok.

And yeah, while the fatalities are minimal, injuries aren't...

I'm ok. Still trying to find out about my family members in London.

I'm also very freaked out. Tavistock Square (where the bus exploded) is 10 minutes' walk from where I am. So is King's Cross. I've been hearing helicopters circling and sirens outside my window all morning.

I don't know about Lag.

Oh bloody hell. Glad to hear you're ok, and hope you find out your family's OK soon.

Best wishes, Ping. I hope there aren't too many people hurt.

Lag is ok.

Glad to hear everyone's okay. That's scary stuff going on there.

Tell me about it. It's places that I pass everyday all around my uni that are showing up in the news all cordoned off. And I still keep hearing sirens every 5 minutes because my place is near the University Collge Hospital.

The upshot is that most of the people I know seem to be very lucky and missed the explosions.

Our mobile phone network has been given over to emergency services though, so it's hard to make any calls to check on people. Thank god for Skype.

What about Bekka? Isn't she in London too?

Take care you guys.

She's in Mile End, which is in the outer zones of London. The attacks all seem to be concentrated in zone 1 (Central London) so far.

I wish luck to everyone and hope you and your loved ones are ok ;_;

I hope everyone is fine. It must be such a scary situation for you. I'm watching the news now, they said 150 seriously injured, 300 injured, and 2 dead.

Sortelli · Post by **Sortelli** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 5:57 am

Jesus. I just read somewhere that it's 45 dead, 1,000 injured. It's so hard to tell with these things while they are happening.

Be safe, y'all. I'm glad the people here seem to be unhurt so far.
