On a more serious note
Jul. 7th, 2005 11:15 amSeveral injured in London blasts.
The awkward thing about something like this happening in London is that it's so big that many people will know at least somebody who lives there. By the same token, so many people live there that it's highly unlikely anyone you know was involved.
I have no idea where in London this is, and I don't know if my sisters' commutes take them anywhere near the area. Naturally, I'm still vaguely concerned. (So, apparently, are friends and family of the other 7,465,100 inhabitants, as the mobile network appears to be overloaded.)
UPDATE: Have contacted big sister (Carol), she is fine and apparently she has spoken to little sister (Jo, also fine). Phew.
EDIT:Still, no fatalities reported yet.
ps, best wishes to all of you reading this in London, and indeed I hope you are.
