    It doesn't make sense to me either. Why would a surge cause explosion in all these stations? Surely the surge would 'escape' in one weak spot? Not that I'm an electrical engineer...

    They are claiming electical overload right now although who knows. There are always so many mis reports when this stuff happens its better to wait and see.

    Scary either way which is unfortunate

    Why would a bus blow up due to a power surge?

    Ok, There are explosions in seperate parts of London. This is NOT a powersurge in anyway. It is bombs.

    Is 6-7 buses from TV or an online source?

    I hope thats not the case and its just misinformation. We will know in the next 10 minutes I suppose.

    No, you are speculating ST. I very much doubt it is to do with the IOC decision though

    I was going to post a Site Review but I think I will hold off. May be a bit insensitive given what *may* be going on.

    My fingers are crossed that it isn't what is being speculated.

    I know so many people in London right now, and all were likely to be travelling at 8.50am. very tense time right now! I'm sorry for the people involved, I know what it's like to be caught up in the middle of it all, chucked off a train at a station you don't know, no way of going on, going back, you can only walk. But atleast you're not hurt. Very scary for all involved. CNN is only talking casualties, lets hope not too many killed.

    Ok, let me clear things up.

    There was NO explosion in Kings Cross - just evacuation.

    Several explosions in completly different locations. On the tube, on a tourist bus and some others.

    The mobile (cell) network has been turned off to prevent further explosions
