London Calling

July 21

Again. Something’s happening again. I’m in my apartment, glued to BBC World while London erupts in chaos and panic once again. It’s about 10:38 PM local time; the incidents happened about 2 hours ago. Thankfully, this time it doesn’t seem as serious as the bombings on July 7, but it’s terrible listening to the eyewitnesses who are talking about the burning smells and the panic underground. I’ve heard from New Yorkers that the soldiers in Grand Central have started to hold their rifles at the ready.

Take care, everybody.

PS. It's now about 11:45 PM local time and Tony Blair is having a press conference. He looks almost cheerful.
