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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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 :D

    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.
