This is literally breaking news so details about the attack are sketchy atm

Sky news are saying a possible knife attack right now as well on London Bridge

Oh was already in your post my bad

[lemons]

There are several police boats searching the Thames - people on the bridge who were with other people are now unable to find them

V scary I was walked across this bridge just 2 days ago

[-:Undertaker:-]

So looks like the terror threat level has proven to be as useless as always and our ridiculous Police carrying military-style machine guns for a false sense of security (it's not like you can actually use it) have been thwarted yet again by a radical muslim(?) in a van/with knife.

Like I said, rinse and repeat. Within 24 hours the balloons and teddies will come out and we'll be denying it's anything to do with Islam.



*waits to be told I should wait for more details, i'm insensitive jumping to conclusions etc only to be told when we do have the details that I shouldn't blame radical Islam*

It seemed south side of London Bridge epicentre of what seems a terrorist attack. We have been escorted by police from bridge.

Bodies on the street at Borough Market

Was very close to London Bridge when incident happened. Sounds like another disaster.

It'd be nice to think nobody has been killed or seriously injured but doubtful. It's time to be angry.

[FlyingJesus]

Massive variation in reports, some saying 5 people hit others 20+, a few about a stabbing and The Sun claiming there were gunshots

Horrible in any case, utterly disgusting

[-:Undertaker:-]

Dan Hodges (journalist) is reporting what other journalists who are in area are telling him. Good feed to follow.

Another witness tells @lbcbreaking he saw a van drive into pedestrians at London Bridge & men carrying knives jumped out & attacked people.

Second incident at borough market

I think sky news is a bit behind, oh well

[lemons]

Borough Market is quite close to London Bridge - perhaps attacker(s) got away and carried on there

Absolutely disgusting, thoughts are with those affected.

don't forget that terror attacks are part and parcel of living in a major city though :rolleyes::rolleyes:
