The Web is slowing down. I’ve only seen it do this a few times. And the most exteme time was as everyone tried to get news of what was happening in New York.
At the moment, it isn’t clear what kind of bus/tube explosion/power outage London suffered. But with the Underground completely shut down for the first time ever and reports of witnesses seeing limbs lying around, it doesn’t sound trivial.
Hopefully things won’t be as bad as they sound when the smoke clears.
UPDATE:
6.13pm Blogger refused to put this up this morning. Since then it has become clear that the London attacks are very serious. These bombings are an obscene action. I have no more to say today, beyond sending condolances to those caught up in them.
