London Bombs
Random thoughts about the London Bombings
* Even last night I thought it would only be a matter of time before this happened. I’m think a lot about death right now as my Nan is very ill. I visited her last night, and her 85th birthday is Saturday
* Live8, Olympics, bombings and G8. Busy times, but the internet coped in a way it never did during 9-11
* 7-7 works for both date formats
* “Flickr Hot Tags”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ really gets you photos from the “scene” in a way that is impossible for anything but a major news network.
* It is a “terrorist” attack. The numbers dead (whilst in no way a help to anyone involved) are low (Sky are currently saying 45) compared to Africa, Tsunami. When it is remembered, what will be remembered is the courage of the people of London and how well they coped, how they lived their lives and how the terrorists actually failed to create terror, or change anything.
