7 blasts. On trains, then on a bus when people were sheparded out of the Underground.
We don't know where Tom's father or his best friends are.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

CNN was on at my doctor's office, where he was concernedly watching as his daughter was flying back from London today. Her plane should've taken off prior to the blasts, so she probably wasn't on the Tube.
I noticed that "The Secret Organization of al-Qaida in Europe" took credit, via a Web announcement. Guys? Web announcements != "Secret." Bombs not so good either.

The commute was stressful, if only in my head, but at least it was pre-the main rush.
Yes, the ride in this morning was very stressful. And I just learned that the NYPD will be doing drills outside work today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh look. And a hurricane is bearing down on Jamaica.
I need to shower before I process all this.
I know my sister's all right, she's emailed me today.
Then I call.
Man, London's like a little Israel when it comes to terrorist attacks, but this is unreal.
