    Reports of an explosive device going off at Parsons Green tube station in London.
    Looks like something in a white bucket in a Lidl bag has been ignited.
    Cuts and bruises being reported but no fatalities. Cowards.!

    It's getting closer, Parson's Green - just three stops from here (Southfields) along the District Line, now suspended, from Earls Court to Wimbledon.

    Thank goodness no fatalities.

    Shocking happenings.
    Fortunately no deaths but still innocent people injured.
    Bomb never exploded properly so lots of clues to whoever left it.

    Done with a timer as well makes me sick to the core that someone could leave a bomb in a crowded place to go off and kill whovever is there - regardless of age colour religion

    Fortunately not as bad as it could have been if no fatalities - but still horrific for those there

    Agreed. The timer opens the possibility that the bomb was supposed to explode somewhere else.

    First reports suggest the device is similar to the onces used in 2005.

    There are also reports of a potential second device.

    No suspects as yet.

    Although this attack bares many hallmarks to the previous london tube attack the devices are that crude anyone who had access to jolly rodgers cookbook in the late 90s can make one.
