A momentary pause for our fellow urbanites in London
Near-simultaneous explosions rocked the London Underground a short while ago during their rush hour. Some buses may also have targeted. Fatalities caused. The entire transit network in London is shut down. Constables are reporting to Edgware Road, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, Russell Square, Aldgate East, Tavistock, and Moorgate stations (for those of you who know London). Here’s the report at Al Jazeera.
Whatever the cause, let’s all take a moment to empathize with our fellow urbanites in London. It’s one of my favorite towns, and I’m pained to think how frightened many of our brethren (and sisteren) are going through right now. (Use news websites to follow this; the Tube homepage is down at the moment.)
Perhaps it’ll be that we may be able to help in some way later, but for the moment a nice thought would be great.

This is really scary and my heart goes out to those affected and their families.
I think the scariest part of this is it could happen anywhere, even the Bay Area. I hope security increases around all mass transit worldwide. It seems like it was way too easy for something like this to happen.
