Again we offer condolences and prayers to peoples families who have lost a loved one, Father, Mother, Daughter and on the list goes. I wonder how much more we should sit back and offer condolences. I suppose it will be until there is only me left.

No one died in that,you are aware. More were hurt by the stampede of Everyman for himself! Terrorism only has to start small.
It would be nice if it all stopped though. Keep an eye on Kim jong in - he could bring an end to it all quicker than a Lidl bag on a train - what a world!

The latest it seems is the suspected bomber was a 'child refugee' who was staying with good foster parents in surrey, had been arrested a few weeks back before being released and was picked up trying to leg it back to calais... this according to several newspapers ... so you can imagine the political fall out if this is the case..

I refuse to call this latest stuff terrorism or extremism; it's just cold blooded murder fueled by hate! It really annoys me when the press focus on whether it was terrorism or not when some ----- kills people

I think the BBC said injured but other news sources said 20 dead. I am not at all sure now @Rpa07

30 people injured (BBC News), could easily much much worse, although those who have been injured, would argue differently.

I've also heard there was a bit of a stamped in the aftermath, human nature unfortunately. And the latest government advice; 'Run, hide & tell'. And before anyone says anything, I know that's for a marauding firearms/weapons attack, but sometimes its difficult to hang around to find out what kind of attack you are under. Obviously, the guy who took the picture of the device thought differently.

Nor did I; I had to look that up

if i remember from my early dark days of experiments with weed killer and sugar, , a bomb has to ignite and build up pressure before it explodes. apparently, this device ignited but just fireballed due to a lack of suitable containment capable of containing the pressure. if he'd done it right, there would have been fatalities.

Ssssh Tel - it could be a DIY'r and you've just given the final piece of the puzzle - always put the lid on!
