Explosion in London Underground, again
From the Associated Press:
Three London Underground stations were evacuated at midday Thursday following reports of incidents, British Transport Police said. The Fire Brigade was investigating a report of smoke at one station.
Emergency services also were responding to a report of an incident on a bus in east London, police said.
A London Underground spokesman said there were no reports of casualties in the unspecified incidents....
McCracken said he smelled smoke at the Warren Street station, and people were panicking and coming into his carriage. He said he spoke to an Italian man who was comforting a woman after the evacuation.
"He said that a man was carrying a rucksack and the rucksack suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open the rucksack," McCracken said.
"The man then made an exclamation as if something had gone wrong. At that point everyone rushed from the carriage."
As Drudge always says...developing...
UPDATE: London police are now reporting there were explosions at three subway stations and one double-decker bus, but so far only one person was injured.
