It looks like it was a very-improvised explosive device that fortunately didn't go off properly. But it does seem to have burned some passengers, while other injuries were indeed caused by the panic evacuation. One of the people waiting for her train on the station was the main presenter of BBC London news, so I guess she'll have extensive reports on it in today's bulletins. |

Most other evidence disagrees with you: https://www.theguardian.com/australi...ted-abc-admits |

I passed Wimbledon (on my way from Waterloo to Bournemouth) about 12:45 and there were 4 District Line trains in the bay platforms showing their tail lights. So they weren't going anywhere soon. While I think we can be grateful (like on 21/7) that making viable explosive devices isn't as easy as many people think, I see the threat level has been raised to critical, presumably because the culprit is at large and may have other weaponry. And as with other attacks, there may be a bomb-making cell behind it. We can laugh at their incompetence with this bomb, but they may get it right with a second one. Hence the sharp increase in security resources now being devoted to finding them, as after 21/7. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
