Explosions in London

[freebfrost]

We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers today here in the U.S.

Still haven't heard from my cousin down town or anything from the parents of the girl guides that were in London this morning (my daughter's best friends). We're assuming everything is good regarding the girl guides, because otherwise with that many of them, the word would have gotten out here by now.

My sympathies and thoughts go out to all that are directly and indirectly affected by these attacks. I have a few friends from or in London, and thankfully they are ok...horribly though, many are not.

Our thoughts and hopes are with you. Best of luck during this horrible time.

Condolences to the family and friends of those who have lost their lives. Speedy recovery to those who have been injured.

Thoughts, prayers, and condolences from ours to yours.

May you find peace in this horrible, troubled times.

Pax vobiscum

I remember after 9/11 a british citizen was interviewed and said something along the lines of "When a Yank needs a hand, call a Brit." I was so touched by that statement of friendship. I know that I am just as affected by these events as if they happened in my own city. My thoughts are with the people of London and the UK, and I hope that all of our community here is safe.

... My condolences to everyone affected by this.

Fortunately, if that word can be used about anything today, London is blessed with excellent emergency services who are experienced in dealing with events of this type, and who had well-developed plans for responding to the attacks. By all accounts, they have been doing a great job.

I was in the centre of Glasgow about 2 hours ago, and the police there were out in force, spread around the city keeping watch. I expect that similar scenes can be found in Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, and other key cities. It is very reassuring that someone has gone to the effort of putting response plans in place, and that this wasn't the surprise it might have been. (It was, of course, no less of a shock for all that.)

My thoughts go out to you guys in London. I'm heartened to see that "solid British practicality" in the face of this tragedy. (S'mon: your wife's blog was brilliant)

Take care...
