Incompetent bomber, whose rucksack only partly exploded. If that evil one is still breathing, he is gonna have one hell of a painful evening. The security services will be sure to torture him senseless.

As ever. We are not afraid.

bomber on the train dropped his bag and ran after it failed to go off,,

Channel 'five' has turned into Sky News.

oh well, there goes the rest of today. London closed down mostly.

So, the hunt is on...for the bomber/s who seem to have screwed up. They've had an hour since the 'event', so they'll probaby escape.

Its kinda bizarre with the Cricket still going on right now.

without wishing to sound rude - how much has actually been confirmed

I remember Sky saying 2 weeks ago there were 3 bus bombs, which proved to be untrue

All the major TV news channels are LIVE at the various scenes

I was actually on holiday in Greece when the first load happened, it was so wierd bieng there and have all this happening, it felt like it wasn't London it was such a wierd feeling!

It's scary to think that you are not safe ANYWHERE, no matter what precautions you take.

There have been unconfirmed reports of an explosion on the London Underground, and an incident on a bus in Hackney, East London.

There have been no reports of casualties.

Stations at Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush have been closed.

At Warren Street there were reports of a nail bomb explosion. Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said police believe this may have been the sound of detonators going off..

Victoria Line train passenger Ivan McCracken told Sky News he spoke to an Italian man who witnessed an explosion just after the train arrived at the platform.

"He told me he had seen a man carrying a rucksack which suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open his rucksack. Everyone rushed from the carriage. People evacuated very quickly. There was no panic.

"I didn't see anyone injured but there was shock and fright.

"There was a smell of smoke."

"The man who was holding the rucksack looked extremely dismayed.

Police have cordoned off the streets around Warren Street station. They said a suspect package had been reported on a Victoria Line train.

Sky reporter Mark White said authorities are "pushing everybody as far back from the station as they can".

Another eyewitness, Sosiane Mohellavi, said "Everyone panicked and people were screaming. We had to pull the alarm. I am still shaking."

Scotland Yard said emergency services have responded to an "incident" on a bus in Hackney Road, on a junction near Colombia Road, east London.

Sky News Foreign Affairs editor Tim Marshall said: "There is a bus parked there which is empty and there is nobody anywhere near it."

This does indicate that police think the bus is still dangerous.

It is two weeks to the day since bombers attacked three Tube trains and a bus in central London.

It's going to be like this for a while yet!

I'm still trying to come to terms with it all.......

Just puts things in perspective, people having so much hate over a TV Show when they are terrible things like this happening. Sums it up really.

Yeah......... People worrying about if their fave HM will win or not!

thanks Cam - though I'm still a bit wary of Sky News

as others have said, this does put complaining about various HMs into perspective
