Anybody watching the coverage of the situation in London right now?

[Cascadian]

I am seeing what is going down at the London Underground on CNN International. I am also checking out other news outlets out there. I keep hearing about power surges. I also keep hearing about wounded people. What else is anybody hearing?

3. uh-oh, sounds fishy

"A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade said: 'We've been called to reports of an explosion, we're down there at the scene at the moment. From this end we've had no definite information.'

Meanwhile, a London Underground spokesman said a second 'incident' has taken place on another underground line, without giving further details. "

5. Don't get CNN,

but google news is getting hits.

The board is going to be flooded with this as it comes back to life in the (US) morning.

My sympathies to the Brits. We really do appreciate your friendship, it's just that we have madmen and idiots running our country.

6. I am listening to BBC 5 Live.

They seem to have better coverage. Pity I cannot get BBC or ITN on TV at the moment.

8. I have security so tight on

my computer that it's a hassle to use any streams. (And this has saved my butt more than once.)

Anyway, it will probably take some time to get the "story" (real or made-up -- or something in between, whatever we will end up getting).
