Here’s one news article from BBC…
From the BBC article:
One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen “the bus ripped open like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere”.

And also follow the blog posts from London residents at the London Metroblog.
One of the bloggers at the London Metroblog says that there has been major power failure and all of the London subway network has been shutdown.
They also report that one of the mobile phone networks (Vodafone) is chockers full and it’s hard to get through to individuals on that network.
I’m watching the news right now and it’s been said that there has been 3 explosions.

Michael, one of my cousins is living and working over in London.
Have yet to hear from him though. I do know though that he lives within walking distance to work.
I too have heard about the 7 explosions.
