I know.. i saw it on the news. its terrible, all those people with families and friends who died or got seriously damaged.. terrible. i hate those terrorists!!!

It probably has more to do with the G8 summit than the Olympics.

G8 summit? sorry whats that? >_<

No, he's not. That's why he created this topic.

Jeebus. People these days.

Omg. Thats scarry. I'm glad you and your family are alright physically....


RIP to all that were lost

oh my... Ah ah ah that's horrible. I'm guessing it's probably the french... gosh this is horrible T_T;;

EDIT: Nope, just found out it was middle eastern terrorists. They also threatened italy and a few other countries to back out of Iraq, so yeah...

I wanted to make this topic, but ooh well.
I'm glad your dad is okay. Good thing for him. =)

RIP

It's a summit going on in the UK right now. The G8 is stands for Group of 8 and is made up of the 8 richest nations in the world: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK, and the US. They meet to discuss things like economic development (especially in Third World countries), global warming, and economics in general. The summit is often opposed by those against globalization.

I'm glad you're safe. RIP to those people who died.

yeah i saw that on tv like an hour ago, sucks.

I'm relieved you're okay, James. The world is a crazier place everyday.

RIP>to all who died
three minutes before I turned on the TV I was talking to my friend about the olympics and how I am so excited that London got it instead of NY although Im from New York and Then we turn on the TV and we see that London was bombed... HOLY MACROLE noone and No place is Safe anymore =/

Wow, it's 11 here, and I just woke up to my mother coming in my room and telling me this. I'm happy to know that everyone in here from London (James) is safe. And may all those who died Rest In Peace!


agree with you completely.

sorry to hear that = / ....definitelty reminds me of 9/11...hope you safe there

RIP to the 33 people that died..hopefully no more will be reported dead.

It's scary isn't it? They're attacking all of the modes of transportation.

1. It was planes during September 11th.
2. Now it's buses and subways..

What's next..ships? Cruise ships? Army ships?

i still cant believe they bombed london!!! Im from the US but i <3 england!

I know my friend took a trip to london w/ her family this week... i hope shes ok too..

I think the number of deaths increased to 40.

well, i just watched th news, and its still saying at least 33 confirmed deaths

Oh, I guess MSN is incorrect? I'll check CNN in a minute, but I rather the death toll be 33 than 40.

Edit>> 33 deaths on Thursday, but the number is now not determined because of the 4th blast.

OH no. I have a couple friends staying over there for internships and I'm suppossed to come visit them. I hope they're alright.

that so crazy! good thing you and your dad are alright. why won't those darn terrorist stop. ;\

Yeah, it's still 33, but they fear it might be more. A lot of people came out of there with signs of major injury..

You guys can read the story on http://www.cnn.com

its a meeting of all the rich countries to change the world. thats what the whole live 8 and "the one" campaign are all about...(if you know about either)

Could you be anymore rude? I don't care if you're an advisor; you don't have to go around assuming you know every persons' intentions for writing a certain post. I was asking if he was okay physically and mentally, trying to be kind. How can you assume you know the answer to such a question? He said his father was alright, but he did not give a strong mention of his own safty, and I wanted to know because he is a nice person!

Sorry >< I just felt that was inappropriate and uncalled for even if you ARE an advisor. Don't hate me for saying that. That is my honest opinion!

did they confirm that it was a terrorist attack? I'm glad your dad is ok.

Man these "terrorist" must have no hearts,

Who friggin bombs london (besides the nazi's a lot of years back)?

What did London do?

I could understand America. . but London.

All they ever wanted was tea time.

Well Rest in Peace all London-ians who were killed by these heartless-terrorists.

My step brother isn't picking up his phone...i am going CRAZY

Stupid Terrorist! RIP people of London's Pride.

It's good that you're OK. My sister woke me up with the story. I thought she was kidding, but I guess not. RIP to all who died.

RIP to the people that died, and <3 to their families....It amazes me though....we have all this technology...and we use it to destroy ourselves...ironic...makes you think though.... Life is funny ain't it?

Well, according to all the news I've been watching..The Al Qaeda organization at London posted on their website that they were responsible..and the REASON they did it is because they didn't like England killing their people in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's not confirmed though..whether Al Qaeda is behind this. People are checking the credibility as we speak, but yeah. There was a reason why.

so so sad :(

Woke up this morning to be greeted with the words "London Blast" on TV, those terrorist shits, acting all high and mighty, I hope they get caught soon. I feel sorry for those who died, it was a matter of seconds, unbelievable.

fucken damn terrorists!!!!!! >=|

James, you would not believe how worried I was about you. Glad your dad is okay...=]
