    metal, they don't lie about casulties, they only report CONFIRMED ones.

    the authoreties don't know wth is going on any better then any one else.

    They make offical anouncements once they KNOW precise numbers.

    Before that they say "x dead, x wounded, we do not know howmany more"

    [/QUOTE]bus, not plural.

    And from what I have seen the number is still 2 confirmed dead from that explosion.

    remember, you can have your lower body gone and still be 'alive'

    some numbers I saw was like 160 in hospitals 150 of them in critical.

    Its one bus at Tavistock Square as far as I'm aware...

    And Thansal's casualty figures are about as accurate confirmed-wise as we have at the moment, they just gave basically the same stuff on BBC News.

    They kept with the "power surge" story until a bus was blown up and reported by the press. Nice to see how politics means lying to the people of your country.

    I wouldn't be surprised...particularly if seriously injured casualties take a turn for the worse...

    <i>7 died at Liverpool Street
    21 died in blast at Kings Cross
    5 died at Edgware Road explosion
    Unknown number of fatalities in bus bomb</i>

    They won't give an estimate for the bus fatalities at the moment.

    EDIT: Terminal 3 at Heathrow has just been evacuated, according to BBC News 24 - hasn't said why though. The airports were supposed to carry on unaffected, so it may be a bomb scare? Thats just a guess though...
