3 London Underground Stations Evacuated

Jul 21, 8:28 AM (ET)

LONDON (AP) - Three London Underground stations were evacuated at midday Thursday following reports of incidents, British Transport Police said. The Fire Brigade was investigating a report of smoke at one station.

The Warren Street, Shepherds Bush and Oval stations were evacuated. Emergency services personnel were called to the stations, police said.

"People were panicking. But very fortunately the train was only 15 seconds from the station," witness Ivan McCracken told Sky news.

McCracken said he smelled smoke, and people were panicking and coming into his carriage.

Services on the Victoria and Northern lines were suspended following reports of a number of incidents, London Underground said.

The reports came two weeks after four suicide bombers attacked three subway stations and a double-decker bus, killing 52 others.

So basically, they know nothing at this point. People have been evacuated due to smoke. More to come, I'm sure...

Tube cleared after small blasts

A number of Tube stations have been evacuated and lines closed after three blasts in what Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair says is a "serious incident".

Sir Ian appealed to Londoners to stay where they were and said the transport system was effectively being shut down.

The minor explosions used detonators only, a BBC reporter said.

In addition, a Number 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green had its windows blown out by a blast. There were no injuries.

Large areas around Warren Street, Oval and the Shepherd's Bush Hammersmith and City line Tube stations have been cordoned off.

One person was injured at Warren Street. There were reports the injured person may have been holding a rucksack containing the detonator.

Reportedly, the Brits sent response teams dressed in CHEM/BIO suits into the tubes shortly after the blasts. X, you may be spot on.
 
Again, prayers for our allies the Brits.

I dread the impact of all this. The media will once again start hyping up the "importance" of surveillance cameras in "combating terrorism". The IRA may have worried about being caught on camera -- but these guys aren't. As far as they're concerned, they're on their way to martyrdom. Video footage only provides their cause with free advertisement once the video is released to the media, courtesy of the more radical Middle Eastern TV networks. Never mind the fact that they have their precious footage of the bombers from 2 weeks ago -- and now they've been hit again. What will it take to show that cameras will never make anyone safe?

Get rid of the stupid surveillance cameras give the Brits their guns back (and their butcher knives, for that matter).
 
I am afraid that guns won't solve this problem, the are bearing the rotten fruit of their immigration policy, they imported a population that is culturally dissimilar with no desire to integrate.
 
Funny, some of Russia's leadership actually seem to recognize something around all these terror attacks that comrade Bush and comrade Blair do not want to attend to ....

Russia’s FSB Says UK Must Curb Liberties to Beat Bombers

Britain must curb some of its cherished civil liberties if it wants to avoid more suicide bomb attacks, Reuters quoted Russia’s state security agency as saying.

Nikolai Zakharov, a spokesman for the Federal Security Service (FSB), the KGB successor agency that leads Russia’s fight against militants, said people would come to understand that losing some rights was better than facing more attacks such as those in London on July 7 which killed 56 people.

Tighter checks on immigration and movements of people in and out of the country were among specific recommendations he made. ....[ETC]

But, rather than keeping the problem out, and purging what has already entered, Comrade Bush doesn't waste any time capitalizing on the events to ensure a few other things remain within our borders ;) ....
"As we saw in London, the terrorists are still active and they are still plotting to take innocent life," Mr. Bush told law-enforcement officers in Baltimore. "So my message to the Congress is clear: This is no time to let our guard down, and no time to roll back good laws."

Right on target Comrade.
 
Its funny how other countries seem to have the answer to Britain's problems. Maybe they should get their own affairs in order before they start to preach. Britain does need to tighten immigration laws, which they are in the process of doing. However, these bombers are apparently British born, so Immigration is not the only answer. A global policy of outlawing and destroying all known terrorist camps would be a good start (get you s**t together, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc).

Of course; the immigration problem goes back more than 30 years.

People like conservative Enoch Powell were derided for their predictions back in the 1960s. No one scoffing now; and chasing around central asia for the next 100 years is not going to do anything about the problem already on the inside.
 
You have to kill the roots to kill the weed. The roots for this weed appear to be in Central Asia and the Middle East. We need more vigorous treatment both of the infiltrators and their masters but we continue to wage this war without hurting anyone's feelings.

That's basically it in a nutshell.

And one has to wonder why muslims went and moved to a place that they knew they didn't like, and was not their kind of place. Did they figure from the start that they would just engage a terror campaign in an effort to, like, take the place over?

Is it indeed the muslims' intention to eventually claim England as a muslim country, a theocracy under a Taliban-like Sharia rule? I mean, what's the goal here? Why did a bunch of muslims who never wanted to live under a non-muslim government like Britain's ever go there?

British born, yes, but OF WHAT DESCENT? Some sort of islamic, I'm betting. So the problem does trace back to immigration, just not this specific generation perhaps.

These are not white "european" British twenty-something males getting "into" muslim culture and then deciding to bomb subway trains. These may be British born men but they are essentially ethnically muslim, don't s#!t yourself.
