Another shock came today when hearing of the 'explosions in London's tube'. A bus was to follow.

The first thing that springs to mind is family & friends. Having friends living in London, I had to contact them, and hear they where fine. But, the mobile net seems to have been out-capacitated, because i heard lots of people couldn't get through. A number of my UK friends where currently in Amsterdam, at the Microsoft TechEd conference. IM's gave the confirmation none of my direct friends where effected.

That’s when the bigger picture of it all comes into play. Slowly more information was released. Although we still are far from the picture of 'what really happened', it was becoming clear it was an attack and no incident(s). Both the tube and a bus where hit. A number of explosions happened at the same time in different places.

Makes you all stand still for a moment and think about the priorities we set in life, and how we end up in that book.
