Anyone here about some sort of "Incident" in London today?
BBC has a breaking scroll that 3 tube stations have been evacuated and a co-worker just had a call from a friend saying she heard on the news that there was another bomb. I can't find anything other than that breaking news scroll at the BBC.

Anyone?

CBC News



Three subway stations were evacuated in London Thursday after reports that a backpack exploded and filled a train car with smoke.

At around 1 p.m. London time, people began streaming from the Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush stations. Emergency officials confirmed fire brigades were heading to the scene.



A spokesperson for the London Underground said there are no casualties.



The three stations and some subway lines have been closed, said a subway spokesperson.

8. My Brit husband's sense of humor....
I just got an email response from my Brit husband about whatever the hell is going on....his response:

"Probably some Australians pissed off at England's performance at Lord's, trying to disrupt the game, cheating bastards."

God love the British sense of humor....it never ceases to amaze me.
