    They just said 15.

    Sky report saying at least 8 down on Westminster bridge. Eye witness.

    I'm gonna say not islam but a deranged nutter. Smashed the car into railings hitting people on the way. Got out and stabbed a police man and then got shot a few times.

    Yeah let's distance Islam as far away as this fella as possible. Even if he is a Muslim...shur that's only a coincidence. Definitely won't have anything to do with that.

    Sky helicopter definitely showed a number of bodies on the bridge being covered by blankets so unfortunately there will be a number fatalities ...feed was cut from helicopter camera at that point...one poor unfortunate seemed to under wheel of the double decker bus...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,531 ✭✭✭✭MEGA BRO WOLF 5000


    No they didn't.

    The said 15. Then they said 8 to 10.

    Why are you downplaying what's after happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Saying one attacker was shot and killed at fortified gates after a police man was stabbed

    Saying the victims on the bridge hit by a car.

    That's the number for Scotland Yard. You'd better ring them and tell them that you know exactly who did this. That is if you haven't already.

    Several casualtys dotted along the bridge looking at RTE News Now (Can't watch sky news atm)

    Oh FFS. We have been through this before. People said this about the Quebec attack and we're flat out wrong. Nor was a Muslim behind the attack in Kansas so there are two recent terror attacks with no Muslim attackers. Fox even kept up news that Quebec was because of a Muslim well afterwards till the Canadian government complained.

    I have no idea if this was an Islamic terrorist but most importantly neither do you. At this point we should hope that as few people as possible were hurt and that any injured make a speedy recovery instead of using the incident for political grandstanding.

    Definitely looks like some fatalities on the bridge. R.I.P if so, caught up in senseless actions.

    Tighter immigration controls for Ireland. Only a matter of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Turn on the news ffs.
    I turned it on. A constant picture of police vehicles and reporters repeating things they've heard. Not really adding any information.

    Looks like a guy drove down the path at the bridge and hit 3-5 people, crashed into the railings, then ran inside with a knife, stabbed a police officer before being shot dead.

    No point in exaggerating numbers or reporting eyewitness accounts as fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Why are you downplaying what's after happening.

    Why are you trying to hype up a body-count without any idea of what's going on? It's like you're reveling in it.

    One person has been shot - an attacker as Westminster and one person stabbed - that's all that's know for certain at this point. There appears to have been an incident on Westminster Bridge, but nothing concrete is known about it yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,346 ✭✭✭King George VI


    Lads let's not assume it was Muslims unless it's proven. Doesn't do anyone any good.

    That's true but the fact that today is the anniversary of the Brussels attack doesn't help perception either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,045 ✭✭✭✭gramar

    There is nothing yet to suggest this is an islam related terrorist attack.
    Maybe you have super hearing and heard allahu akbar being shouted?

    That's what we should be hoping.

    You'd wonder with how most of these threads go though.

    Yes. Obscene.

    Are the two guys sitting behind the guy talking in the parliament on sky news now twins???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,586 ✭✭✭4068ac1elhodqr


    The curious thing about these types of situations, is how the various respondeners don't mistake each other for one of the bad guys. If they've got time to get their equipment, surely they've got time for some sort of identifiable uniform other than jeans and t-shirts.

    I presume she was ringing 999 rather than taking a photo ...

    Or dialling 999?

    You can see as the camera pans back she has the phone to her ear.

    But there are a few people just standing around filming.
