Thread: London Underground Evacuated

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Emergency services personnel are attending three different Tube stations in central London following reports of "incidents," police said on Thursday.

A Scotland Yard spokesperson told CNN that Warren Street, Shepherds Bush and Oval stations had all been evacuated.

There are no reports of any casualties at this stage, sources told the UK Press Association.

London Underground confirmed that services on three lines -- Victoria, Northern and Hammermith and City -- were suspended following the incidents, according to PA.

No further information is yet available. Passengers at Warren Street reported seeing smoke but police could not confirm this.

One Victoria Line passenger said a traveler's rucksack exploded on the Tube outside Warren Street station.

Ivan McCracken told Sky News: "I was in a middle carriage and the train was not far short of Warren Street station when suddenly the door between my carriage and the next one burst open and dozens of people started rushing through. Some were falling, there was mass panic.

"It was difficult to get the story from any of them what had happened but when I got to ground level there was an Italian young man comforting an Italian girl who told me he had seen what had happened.

"He said a man was carrying a rucksack and the rucksack suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open the rucksack.

"The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."

The reports came two weeks to the day since bombs on three Underground trains in London and a double-decker bus killed 56 people including four bombers.

There has also been an "incident" on a bus in addition to reports of gunfire at one of the Underground stations

Damn, the Brits are getting hit again?

They don't know what the hell is going on....I'm getting conflicting reports here. First they were saying several mini explosions occurred, saying it could have been a firework. But now, apparently people have been injured, and NBC personel have been called in to investigate.

Good to see, fewer people injured.

Haha, I see Pakistani Britons being arrested, searched on the streets. Oh well, not that its not warranted. Got a call from my bro, they're safe and staying at home!

It is nice to know that they were fireworks only.

So some were injured by these fireworks?

Pretty nice of them to cooridnate a fireworks display around London on the same day and near about the same time.

The organised way the things are being done for kicks is indeed fascinatingly military like.

No casualties: Blair.

The fallout of these bombings will visit upon all medium dark skin as also Arab looking joes.

Britain which has tried to project a very tolerant and accomodating liberal image to assume the mantle of a benign ex imperialist nation allowing all types of motley crowd masquerading as liberation fronts, Moslem agitationist fronts and asylum seekers, all basically to get jobs in a land of opoturtunity, will now have to show their true colours.

All these guys will be kicked out and back they shall go to their hovels from where they came. Of course, they will all have the customary refrain that they were actually good chaps who were misled by some horrid joes!

Those who are British born and can't be deported or those who hold British citizenship will be shoved into a worse than second class citizenship niche to rot and waste away.

For the stupidity of few, so many will suffer!

Blair can be quoted. It matters not. Terrorists are not the concern of Blair alone. It is the concern of all mankind.

What's so fascinating and smug about there being no casualties? The first post also states the same and there is no requirement to state again unless you are worried with fear about the repercussions on Moslems and breathing a sigh of relief.

It is a good thing that there were none. But that is not the end of the show, is it? Can we remain smug that there were no casualties?

Casualties or no casualties, it is the INTENT that cannot be overlooked!

news is reporting these to be dud bombs, seems like a sick prank...
