Blasts in London - Flyertalkers please check in!
 

I hope that all our London Flyertalkers, family and friends are OK. Please check in and let us know.

Currently in Budapest, spending the day trying to contact people and check they are OK.

Hope other Londoners, visitors & those close to them are OK.

We have a group of fellows at the Lanesborough (on the £35 nightly rate), including some FTers. I hope they are all ok too.

Working in the provinces -- safe and sound.

Thanks, folks, it's great to have your support.

My office is about three minutes walk (OK, five allowing for crossing the road) from the Lanesborough. It is eerily quiet here, with just the odd emergency siren. Clearly traffic is either being prevented from coming or drivers have the good sense to keep away.

The bad news is there have been some deaths, though mercifully nowhere near as many as feared. For those affected, we offer our thoughts and prayers.

Disruption is the major problem. Our people can go home when they like today. I'm staying on, and am giving lifts to three colleagues who came in this morning on the Underground.

Tomorrow? We'll see. After all ... tomorrow is another day said Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind.

Has anyone heard from Paul Palmer? The bombs were in and near his train station and place of work. When we try to call, we get "all circuits busy".

My brother and his (British) wife were living in London until about a year ago. They've heard from their former co-workers and received emails from most of their friends. Though not FTers, I'm relieved to hear that they're all okay. Just waiting to hear news from my SIL's sister, although it's unlikely that she was using any type of public transport this morning.

Nice of you to ask, luckily i didnt have a meeting in London today.
LGW and LHR are both open HEX and GEX are running.
Lets hope as many people as possible make a full recovery.
We will all get on with life as we have to do.

Just to say, phone networks have been appalling in the area, with emergency service priority activated... so that could be the reason if they are close to one of the scenes.

Hope that all of our FTer friends in London are OK :(

Chatted with BingoSF a bit ago. She is okay as she is out of London working for the week but one of the blasts was close to her flat.

Hope that others are okay.

Thank you for the kind thoughts.

I live very close to Russell Sq / Tavistock Sq where one of train and bus explosions took place. I was home at the time, and certainly was one of the lucky ones. It's been a sad day here. :(

Hope all FTers, their families and friends are okay. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Both myself and Mrs TEX277 are fine. Her family (who do not live too far from Kings Cross) are all fine too ^

Good to see the compassion of our fellow Fters. Our thoughts, best wishes and condolences go out to those affected and their families.
