Hey everyone, I'm ok. Thanks for the concern. I was on the underground on my way to work when the train stopped and we were told there was a power surge. Ater about 20 minutes we were told to evacuate. Nobody really knew what was going on but everyone was really cool and calm, even when news of the explosions started to spread - it made me proud to be a Londoner. The Emergency services and citizens reacted brilliantly. We were expecting it I guess, and although people died and were injured, it could have been worse. I think they were going for spectacle rather than killings. It's pretty much business as usual today. I considered staying at home but that's what they want so I am here at work. The ride in on the underground was slightly weird but after a few minutes it was all good. One of my friends was on one of the trains that blew but he sustained no injuries and actually went to work because it was nearer to where he was evacuated than his home. He saw some pretty gory stuff though....

I read a statement from this European Al Queda cell that is claiming responsibility and it said something along the lines of 'London is burning with fear and panic'. Let me just say that is bullshit. We are fine.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who were killed or injured and their familes.
