A day after it was announced that London won the 2012 Olympic bid, the city is plunged into chaos by a series of explosions. Reports are still coming in, but it appears the London Underground was rocked by a series of explosions which caused the whole network to be closed down. There was also at least one explosion on a packed London bus. Two are feared dead, many more seriously injured.
The disruption is massive; roads are closed, the underground is paralysed, mobile phone networks saturated, mainline stations shut, even the Reuters UK site is down due to being overwhelmed by traffic. People at work in London are being told to stay in their buildings and await further instructions, but it’s unclear at this stage whether the incident is fully under control. Hospitals in the capital have been put on alert.
