barraboy 28 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 mobile fone networks are down, something to do with terrorists using mobiles to communicate with each other, still heard nothing from wife's cousin but judging where the explosions were we are guessing she will be ok.

Jordan 1 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You can be sure its them Al Qaeda b*****ds. Hope and pray they get theirs. :realmad: :realmad: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This post was made by fatboy on airgunshack but it hought it was appropiate and gives us alls omething to think about: It is a very sad day indeed. We actually got off very lightly in terms of casualties, it could have been alot worse. Fortunately, the stations they attacked were very close to major hospitals. It is still unclear if they were suicide bombers or just bombs planted on the trains, however most trains exploded after entering the tunnel for 100 yards. I suspect that the explosive they used was "home made" and not military c4,c3, semtex. looking at bbc photo's( especially the bus) I have many questions relating to this attack? 1. why did they plant the bomb on top of the bus? Surely maximun damage if on ground level? 2. Why did they choose the stations they did? 3.Why attack in the morning, the hospitals are generally quiter than in peak afternoon traffic?Most operations take place in the afternoon, creates doctor shortages/surgeons ect.. 4. If late afternoon, it would be harder to evacuate and would require additional equipment like torches, generators ect and would take longer. 5.Worldwide live coverage throughout most continents,exhausting telelcom provders, internet capabilities ect like 911. -more disruption I can go on and on, but surely the point of a terrorist attack to create devastation, deaths, fear, bring down the world indices on stockmarkets,futures and deriviatives ? My condolences goes out to all, but I am sorry to say that this attack does not look like the hallmarks of Al-qaida or ETA who did the Madrid's bombing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
