Some things I agree with
(or not as the case may be)

EFF: No Broadcast Flag No Watermarks

Friday, July 8
I had posted a big summary of this evening's events...

... And my computer crashed, so here it is again (with added extras).

The Government has just released details on how to obtain the travel information - it can be found on the Transport for London site @ //www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/travelinfo, or you can telephone 020 7222 1243.

As the rhetorical dust settles on today's events, it's clear that there were 4 distinct explosions - 3 on tube trains, and then half an hour after the last of those, the explosion on the bus in Russell Square. 37 people are confirmed dead by the Metropolitan Police so far, with the Royal Hospital reporting that over 208 people have been treated, with 7 or so people still in intensive care overnight, and one person sadly dying earlier.

All main railway stations (outside of London) are now open, inside London all stations apart from King's Cross are now fully open - Waterloo station is dealing with the majority of commuters attempting to make their way out of London. Many walked across London to get to the East of the City, and the station at times was packed solid. Most passengers are 'phlegmatic' in their approach (Sky News) - expressing worry about public transport and the levels of people here, but at the same time fully backing Prime Minister Tony Blair's stance.

All West End shows have been cancelled, and many artists have cancelled tour dates. Some London schools are staying closed until Monday. In terms of the tubes, Picadilly and Circle lines running a restricted service, but there will be no trains on the Hammersmith and City lines (as they are currently crime scenes). The London Congestion Charge has been suspended until Monday, however traffic is expected to be extremely heavy. For more information, see UK News Agencies' web sites and interactive features.

Coming soon: a better encode (fully Windows Media 9 format this time, as I used Sony Vegas 6) of the Emergency Services News Conference. An updated version of Tony Blair's second statement will also be available soon - check this blog for the links.
