Explosion Aftermath

The majority of Summer Programme students have returned to Connaught Hall. Police have permitted us to reenter the building, but it's unlikely that we would be able to leave again for many hours. The streets around Tavistock Square have been blocked off and are being guarded by the London police.

The BBC reports that the death toll has risen to 33. This number is likely to increase, as that seems to be only the number of fatalities from the Underground explosions; no word yet on the fatalities sustained from the bus explosion on Tavistock Square.

UPDATE:

The BBC has an in-depth look at the four explosions that took place today.

Glad you are OK man. Keep us updated.

Also, I linked you as a "Buddy" on List of Best.com. How is it that you have seen movies like Amadeus and Bringing up Baby but not It's a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane?
