London Terror Attacks

---

Fortunately for us, no one was hurt in any of the attacks that happened, and we were no where near central London at the time. We had left at 8 am for a tour of a Rolls-Royce jet engine assembley plant in Derby (3 hours away), and we heard off and on accounts of what was going on in London over the radio, from there being a train collision near Aldgate, possibly due to signal failure, to there being 4 bombings to even 7 seperate incidents, including a bus explosion, even though we now know that there were only 4. There is a slight chance that we could be sent home early since there is a slight threat that still prevails, and that American tourists could be even more of a target, and since it is well known that we are here since we have stayed here for a few weeks, we are at risk, although I doubt we will be sent home. Several people have cancelled their trips to Scotland this weekend, and it looks highly unlikely that Judd and I will be able to see the Queen concert tomorrow (since it is in central London), and so we are sticking around campus for a while until we can figure out what is going on.
