Well not all networks have been turned off yet although its a logical step...a ton of congestion means the other networks are struggling.

Yeah I think it's worth considering. For about half a second, before laughing it off as ridiculous.

simply a network overload nothing more than that, if the networks can't cope with Glastonbury festival they're hardly likely to be able to cope with the high amount of "we're safe" messages coming out of the system.

The MET have only confirmed one blast on buses. I would tend to believe them more than a news station which will be getting their info from various sources. Chinese whispers spread like wildfire in these circumstances.

Crikey mate, you could have been on the same bus.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but being in such close timing to the olympics decision wouldn't it suggest that if it was a terrorist attack (which it clearly is) than they'd have been ready to do this in the other 5 cities on the off chance that London didn't get the games? Scary thought, imo.

London was a huge target anyway. I expect it was planned earlier, and if the city got the games it'd be a bonus.

They've done their homework I'll grant you that. I wouldn't have been on that bus though as I alight at Warren Street fortunately for me, but not for the poor sods on it. Plus those buses are pretty regular, every 10 mins so it could have been a different one. I'm not going to claim a near miss or anything, that would be pointless and selfish.
