Checking in
Jul. 7th, 2005 03:09 pmJust checking in to say that I don't work in London and am therefore OK. If anyone on the f-list hasn't heard any news yet, there were bomb blasts in London this morning. So far, my sister has reported in that she's safe - the school that she works in is near Aldgate tube station, just behind the London Royal Hospital, has been evacuated because so many injured are being taken to the hospital. She's walking home.
terrylbirch has reported into her journal that she's fine - daft bugger got to work at 7.30am, way before the blasts.
I haven't heard from one friend working in London - she hasn't responded to emails or texts yet. Not being a London native, can anyone help me with some geography? Is Grosvenor Square near any of the sites and, if she's trying to cross London via Marylebone, is it likely that she'll have had to go through any of the affected tube stations? Not that I'm panicking or anything...
ETA I've been listening in to Radio Two since I got home from work and apparently Grosvenor Square is closed off. Um....
ETA 2 She checked in and she's fine. Very relieved. That's everyone I know in London safe. My thoughts are with the families who haven't been as lucky.
