Again, the horror… My thoughts are with my colleagues and my readers in the U.K. and London in particular.

On 7 July 2005, beginning at 08:49, during the height of morning rush hour, a series of four bomb explosions struck London’s transport system. Three Underground trains were hit within half an hour, and a bus a further half an hour after that. At least 37 died. The number of injured treated is at least 700. At least one news report has quoted 360 injured. Fox News reported 700 injured. This number is expected to rise as authorities survey the impact of the blasts. It is the worst terrorist attack to take place within the United Kingdom since the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed upwards of 200 people.
