False alarm thankfully

I'd speculate, but it seems it's frowned on.

Mate are you sure it ain't fake news?

Van driver has heart attack?

Tippex

breaking news on sky. car mounted pavement and possible knife attack but no confirmation as to what is going on but some video doing the rounds a van crashed into pavement

Atlantic Dawn

Ffs, hopefully turns out to be someone up to their gills in beer on their way home from watching the Champions League and not something terror related.

Lets speculate until we're blue in the face.

Hold on , do you mean it could be religious fanatics of a certain middle eastern origin , I sincerely hope not :pac:

Hopefully just a accident

Sky news saying there was a knife attack. Looks like a copy of the Westminster incident a couple of months back.

Armed police attend 'serious incident' on London Bridge involving a van hitting pedestrians

It really just blows the mind the mentality of ppl who casually sit around dreaming up ways to murder innocent people.

Apparently caused by a smoke bomb let off by the fans causing a mass panic.

I knew someone would but doesn't necessarily mean they should.

Reported on sky news, the bridge is closed, the station is closed, a number of people injured.
The police may be labelling it a major incident.

Harry Palmr

The BBC are already treading water in their coverage...

It's sad how much of a regular occurrence these terrors attacks have become.

RobertKK

Ah no, this is sad sad world we live in.

mojesius

Van driver fleed the scene

When is enough enough .

I can feel the anticipation of some.

You could hardly board a plane in the 70s without someone hijacking it.

Atlantic Dawn

I seen a lad on Sky news walking with his half full pint, he wasn't leaving that behind, at least in these times of crisis some people keep their priorities

Yeah, especially in the UK where for years after 7/7 their security services were lauded for preventing attacks. Looks like that's all fallen apart now.

The folks in Yemen are probably thinking the same thing. May is finished.

BBC reporter on scene says a guy has been arrested

gizmo81

BBC News Reported at the scene says police arresting a guy now with his shirt off.

Bambi985

Scary watching Sky News and seeing hoards of people running passed my office and local cafe. Should've been on the way back from London Bridge tonight for a work project except I decided to leave it until tomorrow. Glad I decided to be a lazy b@stard now.

Noveight

Scary time to be living in London.

Atlantic Dawn

A possible other incident at The Shard.

AnneFrank

The failed foreign policy of the UK and US has to be looked at

It seems like London is becoming the new Paris and the UK the new France

Question is where will be the new London in a years time?

I hope it's a drunk driver and not another terrorist incident.

I'm not saying what happened is not dreadful, but at this stage a drunk driver would come as a relief.

I also saw something about an incident at the Shard. But that's probably fake news.

Atlantic Dawn

A hotel near London Bridge evacuated too according to Sky News.

Tiger Woods?

Richard Hillman

People are being told to leave their homes and are walking the streets in pyjamas. This isn't a regular attack

Perhaps an ill-considered time to sound a joke when people are possibly lying dead, or almost dead, on London Bridge.

wintear

You cut the number of police and the security budgets then its not possible to watch 23000 suspects. Plus however many returning people who definitely weren't fighting for ISIS in the middle East every week.

Added to that the alleged amount of people with "mental issues" out to injure people. An impossible job

BorneTobyWilde

Lots of gun fire accord to an ex Military witness

Atlantic Dawn

I'm surprised the army wasn't on that bridge permanently following the increased security alert recently.

Hold on, hold on! I know this tune......

buop bop a lu (terrorists blah de blah), shuop pop a lu (not all muslims), param bam bam (we must not react, that's how they win), shalam dam a lam(bigot, racist, x-o-phobe), dee doh loh a who wop (lets do this again next time)

BU OP BAM BOOM!!

Havent read into it. Might be nothing, but its all sorts of wrong to assume that something that has happened countless times, has all the hallmarks of those countless times, and smells like teen spirit.....cant dare to be presumptious, might offend someone trying to kill us. Best to go through the tune again.

Hopefully it IS nothing.

Gamebred

Dreamers even thinking this is some sort of accident get real you all know what has happened here and what religion will be involved.

Significant gunfire heard
