BREAKING - London Victoria Station evacuated

in #news7 years ago (edited)

Barely a day ago, Manchester Victoria Metrolink station was blown up by terrorists, killing over 20 people, and now it looks like there might be a repeat attempt in London.

There have been no casualties reported, however a "suspicious package" has been found in London Victoria Coach Station. Police across the UK are on high alert.

Are these attacks going to continue? It's possible that UK public transport may end up on lockdown following these repeat incidents in such a short space of time.

As the UK is the leader in censorship and surveillance, it's possible that these attacks may be used as an excuse for further censorship, similar to how 9/11 was used to push the TSA and other privacy breaches in the US.

UPDATE: False Alarm. Police say that the package was not dangerous. Seems they only ever find them when they're not a threat...

It wasn't an attack on the Metro in Manchester, it was at the Manchester Arena where Ariana Grande was performing.

As far as I'm aware, it affected both. This is why the Victoria station in Manchester is closed.

Several people on Twitter reported that the explosions happened in the subway (metrolink). I can't find the original tweet, but here's a photo of the metrolink station after the attack:

Oh wow :(
I haven't seen the reports with regard to the Metro attack. All I saw was the newsreaders saying the Metro was closed because the explosion was so close.

Shocking stuff, man. I pray for the families of the victims, what a horrific ordeal these terrorist attacks are.

Also, few hours ago, the hospital in Marawi city Lanao del Norte Philippines were assaulted by ISIS and is now under control by the bandits. All the workers at the said hospital are now kept as hostage and others were killed, especially christians.

This is just a disaster, and a tragedy. As a Brit, I hate to say this, but it will only get worse. More terrorist attacks will happen, and I doubt anything can be done to stop these situations. Thanks government!
