Casualties on London's underground after incident

 

LONDON (Reuters) - An explosion blew up a bus in central London on Thursday, police told Reuters after witnesses said they had heard a big boom.

 

Police closed off the area around Tavistock Square. A policeman, who declined to be identified, said there had been an explosion on a bus.

 

"We heard a big boom and we were all told to evacuate the building," an officer worker said. There was no word on casualties.

 

People were also seen streaming out of a London underground station covered with blood following what police described as a "major incident".

 

Similar scenes were reported by witnesses outside other stations in the capital. The whole of the system was shut down and major thoroughfares were closed.

 

The cause of the incident, which occurred at rush-hour on the underground network, was as yet unknown.

 

"There have been some casualties and this has been declared as a major incident," said a spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan Police.

 

Emergency services rushed to the Aldgate East underground station where police reported one incident at 8:59 a.m. local time (0759 GMT).

 

Witnesses said passengers were seen emerging from the station at Aldgate East with blood on their faces and their clothes ripped.

 

"There were people streaming out of Aldgate station covered in blood," said Kate Heywood, 27, on her way to work.

 

A Reuters correspondent at Oxford Circus station, at the heart of the underground system, heard an announcement over the public-address system saying: "A power outage has occurred London-wide. All train services are suspended."

 

A station official said: "All the power has gone down. I don't know when it'll come back."

my dad said to me on monday night that there would be trouble this week in London as the G8 summit was taking place in edinborough & over 2000 police/amulance & fire brigade were drafted in from london alone to cover the possible riots/problems & the fact that london would be busy yesterday because of the crowds for the olympic desision............i mean talk about advertising the fact that london would be un prepared for an emergency. i lost count how many time it was said in the papers & news that the capitol would be underpoliced

 

glad everyones friends & reletives are ok,

Sickening. I'm glad I don't live / work in London anymore, and more so, I'm glad James doesn't work in London anymore, too.

 

[Miss Minx]

Its a scary thought wherever you live though, although Londons an obvious target id be worried if i was working in any of the major UK cities

[Guest NeoN]

Isn't Birmingham classed as the 2nd city in England ?

[Miss Minx]

Yeah i think so

 

Although conversation we were having earlier if it Al Kaieda type immigrants they wont want to injure their own and as Bham is overrun with fkcing immingrants may be safer

Cardiff Central has been evacuated. No trains are currently running through S Wales.

 

[Guest NeoN]

they call this 'war' to kill & disrupt the innecent who cant fight back

[Miss Minx]

Best be safe than sorry but i doubt they would be predicaable enough to do that on the same day itll happen as a complete suprise

 

Thats the problem there really isnt a way to police it and prevent these things happening

[LiamStyles]

Im supposed to be flying to a meeting in London tomorrow at our head office.........

 

Not any more.

 

This is shocking
