Sad news today , particularly acute after the excitement over winning the Olympics and what is supposed to be happening in Gleneagles today. Sitting here with the TV on watching the devastation unfold and it gets worse all the time.
On a personal note I was going to be in London today and from I can tell would have been very close to Kings Cross and possibly even in it when the explosion happened, it's a sobering and frankly quite freaky thought, not trying to dramatise it but I do feel very relieved to have not bothered going down, as is my wife.
My thoughts go out to everyone who is involved or has someone close to them involved, some of the pictures of the wounded are disturbing.
Tony Blair was clearly shocked and looked very drawn and tired when he gave his press conference, apparently this is his worst nightmare and keeps him up at night, and then on the wave of optimism over Olympics and G8 he gets this today.
It's been a morbid background thought while travelling to London since Madrid I have to say but I never thought it would actually happen
sad sad day

It's interesting to see so many cameraphone pics on Flickr of TV news coverage
