@MeInCharge Apparently it had the strength to kill everyone on the tube and within a certain radius too. 😑

@MeInCharge This year has been bad. Is this the 4th or the 5th one? I even lost count.

@SW-User yeah, I really hadn't heard anything about it. I almost literally live in a cocoon. I get any news I'm going to get, from right here. So I just lookedit up. It was definitely flubbed, but they managed to hurt people, so not a total fail. They will be back, and they will attack again, but don't look for it to be in the same location or the same method. They'll change it up, to keep everyone off balance.

@Serenitree Yes. So for the next few weeks, people will be highly stressed when travelling.

Having lived with this shit all my life (The IRA used to plant bombs in the most public of places rather than attack those they claimed to be fighting) it's nothing new.
The saving grace is that now they know which tube, they'll follow the cctv footage onboard, then follow the person seen leaving it, in reverse.
Can't move more than a few feet on London's streets without being caught on CCTV somewhere !

@Picklebobble2 Oh I remember those days, having to run out of Baker St. Station, lol. :D But somehow, after years of peace, this feels 'new'.
And yet, so hard to catch these people. With all the intel, it's so hard to block them.

@SW-User You can never stop a determined terrorist. whether it be lashing out at random folk on a bridge with a knife or planting a device or driving a car onto the pavement and killing many.
We've seen all three this year !
my question is, at what point do you retaliate using a similar method ?

@Sniper I think people just do not want a war. But eventually maybe that is where it heads.

I am saddened by the on going terrorist acts across the planet.. It is an impossible battle to fight at the local level and any time civilian lives are put at risk it's a tragedy. I understand 22 innocent people were injured. The only answer is to cut off the source of funding and weapons that's going into these organizations.. The world will be very disappointed to see where some of this cash flow originates.. It's pathetic...
SW-User
@Majorlatency You are right.

What UK is currently facing is series of low intensity attacks. This is because UK isn't easy to attack for various reasons. But fact that can't be ignored is, today's terrorists are getting smarter and sophisticated. So if UK ever faces attacks on scale of 9/11 or 26/11, it will be something new, unpredictable and it will change the way we view the world.

@SW-User It's not just one, there's been a plague of them for a couple decades now with a gradually escalating rate of occurrence. School shootings, workplace shootings, domestic terrorist actions, etc.
There's a statistical link between the amount of news coverage killings get and the rate of similar killings thereafter. There was a study on it I read a couple years ago that plotted it as being roughly 0.75 copycats for every 1 national news story of a killing. The cascading effect of this being what has lead to the problem with school shootings and mass murders in particular.

@UndeadPrivateer Oh yeah. Their 'sacrifice' would be meaningless if they did not get attention.

@TryingtoLava I don't know why either. Don't know what it is they are fighting for.
SW-User
@TryingtoLava Already, travelling is a bloody headache. So yeah, terror works in causing mayhem.

@lakergoy There is top notch security in England. These people are just slimy enough to sometimes slip in.

I get that... But maybe like the u.s. flight Marshalls on the trains to observe and respond to suspicious behavior

that calls for a happy ending for my plunger
SW-User
@dispatch2018 I recently read a book where the man obsessed with his plunger ended up dead with it in his mouth. Don't know why you reminded me of that gross scene.

I'm still getting information about it. But the fact that our president has already jumped out to tweet and make condemnations is just more proof that he doesn't hesitate to denounce anything he really wants to denounce (the way he hesitated to denounce white supremacists here).
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard Yes I saw his words. Not very well thought out.
