A MAJOR INCIDENT - London in chaos

Got woken up at 9+am by the postman buzzing up, saying he has a parcel. I was cursing under my breath when i told him to bring it up. (they always come SO early in the morning!!!!) The worst bit was that it was addressed to a Mr. C, Abbo. Who the hell is that? I yelled to me sister, since she was the one always ordering stuff online and her initials are C. Ang... Anyway, she was blurred and shook her head & postman gave us a 'du lan' face and walked off.

Naturally it was still too early to be up so we both went back to lie in bed, with the radio humming in the background. Just about to doze back to sleep when we heard "we've got some breaking news about an explosion in Liverpool Street Station..."

Sister jumped up and blasted the radio and we layed there and listened to more reports of a possible power surge. But being a radio station and not a BBC news station, we had to endure music inbetween any news report and so we just went to turn the tv on to watch BBC News Live.

The reports kept saying about a possible power surge and black smoke blah blah blah, so we thought it's ok, just London Underground being screwed up. Although at the back of my mind and i did voice it to me sister, that even if it was a terrorist attack they wouldnt say it. Simply because the whole city would go into panick.

So just when i thought i can relax a bit, there was a report that a double deck bus outside Russell Square station exploded and the top level was totally blown off..... like an open-top bus. As i type this, some eye-witness just said that there are blood stains on the BMA building. "Of course there are going to be some fatality, there's blood splattered all over the building."

I can hear police sirens whailing constantly from my place.
News of a dustbin bomb are going around but nobody is sure of it.
This is freaking me out.
Tube's aint safe.
Bus's aint safe.
Thousands of people are stuck on streets & just milling around.

Am i suppose to be thankful that i'm at home?
Or is this just the beginning of something more sinister than a power surge?
