Tabloids are always quick to a catchy title.
Evening everyone. We wanted to let you all know we are both fine and dandy. We have had quite a few emails and text messages from people asking about our welfare, and we do appreciate it.
This morning, some explosions were set off on the underground and bus mass-transit systems. It very quickly disrupted London. We have TVs at work and were able to watch the events unfold all day. I work in the heart of London overlooking Oxford St between Marble Arch and Bond St. Normally at any given time you can see between 15-20 buses driving up Oxford St, but within hours and lasting all day the street was deserted. The only traffic we saw was a flurry of activity from time to time of ambulances and police whizzing by in either direction. By home time, main train stations had been reopened but the underground and bus systems were still shut to the public.
It does really phase me much personally, as I am off the opinion you would have to be exceptionally unlucky to get caught up in it, and there isn't much you could do to avoid it anyways. That said, it does make you more aware of the possibilities.
As far we are aware, everyone else we know in London is alive and well.
