Safe in London

11:oo AM update... The explosions in London have certainly shaken my belief that I am safe here but everything is fine. I'll be walking (and not taken public transportation) for the remainder of my stay. For more info, visit CBC's website.

1:00 PM update... We've been asked to remain in the residence. We are glued to the television and are tuning into the BBC news. Information is a bit confused but one things remains certain. There were 7 bombs, mostly in the underground network. Also, there were numerous fatalities with at least 2 dead and more to be confirmed. LSE and the residence have been extremely well organized with a well-prepared plan for terrorist attacks. London Emergency Services appears to be very well organized and certainly were well prepared for an attack.


7:00 PM updated... After the attacks, Ted, Nina, Marko and I decided it best to get some fresh air. We went for pizza and for a casual walk in our neighbourhood. We discovered this beautiful river running very close to our residence. We also found a convenient cafe where we had an espresso. Now, back at the residence, class is cancelled for tomorrow but will resume on Monday (so I have a long weekend). I will probably catch up on my reading tomorrow.

11:30 PM update... 37 dead and 700 injured. I believe the death toll will probably rise to 100 before this is over. For more information, visit the BBC website.
