OT: Today's tragedy

Semi-political, yes, and not meaning to bring everyone down, but I felt it wrong and impossible to act like nothing happened even here in our little made-up world of fictional cyberspace....

My thoughts and prayers go out to Londoners and their familes everywhere with this morning's horrific events. I find it amazing and sad to think people capable of such hatred but sadly its the sign of the times.
I know the people of England will rebound from this tragedy and be stronger cause of it, but that doesn't make it any easier....

I talked to CF earlier today and I know he's ok, but to other friends across the pond (Goon?), drop a message whenever convenient so we know you're ok....

Peace (hopefully, one day :cry: )

Mark --

Great! For some reason, I thought you were from US -- I didn't know your were in London, but glad you're safe, nonetheless. Bet its chaotic over there right now, but hope when dust settles, like you said, they'll find the people responsible swiftly.....

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Cf and I touched base early in the day and most of the rest of the day I spent responding to emails from friends stateside and elsewhere.

Going home I saw police filing the streets and the train stations and interviewing everyone who passed asking if they had been in the affected areas and had any possible information. I hope their great efforts are matched with great success in finding the bombers.
