As many of you have heard {Seeing as many of you live in England} There were four terrorist bombings in the London Transit units early thismorning. I'd like to give my sincerest concerns and sympathy to anyone who lost someone. I hope everyone on MM is safe, and may God Bless you all.
The total death count is up to 50, and over 700 injuries. Not nearly as bad as 9/11, but stil dreadful. I'll update this space if the stats change.

*Noddles* I agree.
It's awful, isn't it?
Makes you realise how lucky you are. 24 hours earlier, and it would've got me.

I nearly lost someone too. My cousin Christopher is a pilot, but luckily he wasn't on any of those planes. Where Ilived, we saw the smoke even. When I lived in New Jersey, it was an hour to NYC. Very frightening. I was in fourth grade. it confused the hell outta me.

-nod nod- I was in ...third grade (I think) and we live near the PA crash, and since they were trying to hit Fort Richie which was actually 10 minutes away form meh school, (... sorry to those in England who don't have a clue of what I'm talking about. xP) so all of my teachers were going crazy but no one would tell the students what was going on! We were all very confuzzled... o.0 And I was tramatized when I was watching, (on live TV) people jumping from the buildings and such... and especially when the the buildings started to just... collapse. I still get the shivers thinking about it. O.-

Y'know what disturbed me in the 9/11 pictures? There were ones where it really did look like Satan's face in the smoke. -shivers-

The bombings were just plain evil
Some of my friends were practically almost crying. I never realised how many of my Friend's parents worked in London.
It was a very scary day.. But thankfully all of my friend's parents are ok ^^

-sighs- I ish in zeh states, and I almost lost someone I knew on sept 11th, but luckily he was late that day for work on the top floor of the WTC... his whole company of young newly weds was wiped out, and you can just imagine the poor wives.
