London Blasts

I'm fine, if struggling to get to the office.

The whole public transport network is down and I can't get call through on the mobile at all. My brother's fine, but I still haven't been able to get through to Lorna.

Dear God, we knew it would happen eventually, but this is frightening.

(no subject)

UPDATE: she's just e-mailed to say she's safely at work.

All my family are safe, with the exception of Lorna, whom we've still heard nothing from. She shouldn't have been near any of the blasts, though, so is hopefully just trapped somewhere between London Bridge and Tooting after they brought the tube lines down.

I hope. I pray.

al-Qaeda

According to the BBC, al-Qaeda have claimed responsibility.

Pics

There's a few pics I grabbed on the way into work on my Flickr photostream. Nothing of the explosions themselves, just of reactions and effects.
