And I'll bet all of the injuries were actually caused by idiots panicing rather than the explosion itself. |

Given the terrorist bombs and other attacks at various sites around London and the rest of the UK, I defy anyone *not* to assume the worst when there is an explosion. Would you be able to react calmly and assess whether or not this explosion was a bomb, in the heat of the moment? |

Would you be able to react calmly and assess whether or not this explosion was a bomb, in the heat of the moment? I've been in a couple of serious car accidents over the years. I didn't panic then and I doubt I'd panic just because something was on fire in a station which has easy egress. That does mean I wouldn't hurry out but it does mean I wouldn't be pushing people over and trampling old people on the way which it seems is what happened to at least 1 old person there. |

They arrest anyone likely to be even slightly connected with such incidents as an @rse covering exercise, so that if they do decide to prosecute, a clever lawyer can't later say "If you didn't think he was innocent, why did you not arrest him immediately?" If it turns out he is innocent, then the arrest should be marked as a false arrest. -- Tciao for Now! John. |
