Very surprised that the Number 30 Bus CCTV system wasn't working...

[kendra k]

it's a conspiracy!

[bliss]

most CCTV systems on buses dont work, they never get them fixed

[kendra k]

i'm sure that's going to change.

Looks to me like a load of kids have managed to get hold of a couple of detonators and be "like, well funny" by exploding them on Tubes.

Thanks for the link. I heard about this earlier from someone, but I thought it must have been a joke as I couldn't find anything on it. How wrong I was!

I really hope this isn't a bunch of kids playing silly buggers.

[MK Chris]

If it is, surely it's better than an organised criminal fraternity who knows what they are doing with this kind of thing...

[Mcqueen_]

If there was no explosives it looks more like it was done to prove a point, showing the security increase hasnt't helped.

I really can't imagine a bunch of kids deciding to do it though.. even the thickest shits around would realise they'll get caught and be in the shit.

2 weeks on, i wonder what is going to happen now and i am travelling down south by air and this is starting to worry me if these people are aiming at public transport.

[Quincy]

its just to show that people could still do it if they wanted to thats all.

[DemonHorse]

It doesn't strike me as Al Quaeda-esque to fail so badly due to faulty equipment, not after the level of planning their other attacks have taken.

This is obviously kids or an incompetent 'organisation', and kids/chavs doesn't seem likely to me, so I think bad copycats.

[Minnie the Minx]

I'm half expecting The Sun to have a report tomorrow about how their reporters managed to repeat the attacks to show that security hasn't been tightened that much.

[bliss]

probably was the sun

No not at all. The point was that my friends wanted to set-up an e-mail chain mail to get comments which would be sent on and then sent to the book of condolence. But after much consideration we considered too hard to work out a system where the comments could be sent to one place - i.e my e-mail address.

I then offered part of the message board, and turned on 'guest posting' so no one had to register, thus meaning I would not gain anything from this. Infact if you looked at the messages 75% were guests and the others were forum members and these were sent to the book of condolence on Saturday.

I should have replied sooner but I hadn't returned to this topic for a while. But I think you lot usually make your mind up and it takes too much effort to convince you as to otherwise.

Well I think these kids are going to end up with more than an ASBO. But in my opinion I think it was more then that, but I wouldn't point the finger at Al-Qaeda.

Christ, coppers shot a suspect at Stockwell now... You'd have thought they wanted to question him - there must be something about this the media aren't telling us.

[Adam]

Rather suprising to hear Police have recently shot a man dead after a few probs down at Stockwell. A possible 5th attempt.

[bliss]

what about the bomb scare at a london mosque, they should put security searching at the tube stations to stop this happening again

[MK Chris]

You'll never be 100% sure of stopping it but random searches is a good idea.

[Adam]

That's what New York have just announced. There was talk of putting airport style scanners at each Tube Station.

[Quincy]

costs too much and would cause horrendous delays

[Console]

There was rumour a while back that the London underground were going to have them new 'see-through clothes' scanner's installed, but it didn't seem to pan out. Would have been a great idea, but damn expensive.
