Got on the bus at 8:40 got to Westbourne park tube about 8:55 Hammersmith and City line closed for unspecified reasons. by the time I’d walked to Shepherds Bush (about 10) the whole system was down and there was pretty much chaos on the green. Got into work, given the nature of my employer, found out what had happened pretty quickly.

What a wierd day at work, similar in mood to the days of the New York and Madrid attacks even though it’s a lot closer to home can’t really apprehend what my reaction is, in the terrorist calculus these attacks seem much worse than the IRA attacks in Manchester and Wilmslow in the early 90’s even though in both those cases I was close enough to hear the blast. Writing about chart data XML whilst all around me people hear testimony from frightened witnesses and un-edited satelite feeds pour in showing deserted streets and police cordons, is difficult.
