confirmed: seven explosions; 1 tube train still stuck
So far they've confirmed six explosions have happened at various tube stations in london (Aldgate, EUston, Russell Square, etc.); one tube train is stuck midway between stations; there was 1 explosion on a bus in Tavistock Square. At least a hundred casualties from these locations but only 3 have been confirmed.
All buses and trains are suspended in and out of London. Van is still stuck at work; that's probably the best place anyway (apart from being safe at home, drinking coffee and worrying...)
All the phones are currently abuzz with people checking on loved ones. The BBC reports an eerie calm in the center of the city though; the British "stiff upper lip" prevailing with people quietly and calmly doing as told. Friends and family have texted their concern. Police (I'm told) are swarming in and out of tube stations and the whole country is waiting for news.
