BLAST AT CITY TUBE STATION

There has been an explosion at Aldgate East underground station in London, causing the closure of the entire Tube network.

There are also reports that a second incident took place at Edgware Road station in north west London.


The Aldgate East blast was caused by "some kind of power surge", according to Tube infrastructure company Metronet, which is responsible for maintaining the Metropolitan line.

A spokesman said: "We don't know the extent of the problem yet."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene."

British Transport Police confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk".

"It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman.

"All we know at the moment is that staff reported a loud bang at 8.49am. No one is sure what caused an explosion, but it is thought it could have been a collision, a power cut, or a power cable problem."

One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from Kings Cross when there was a huge flash.

The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

He added people were milling around Kings Cross covered in soot

yep, top of bus blown up. Some are saying it's a power surge yet they've found 2 suspect packages! i'm sorry - a power surge does not cause the top of a bus to blow up!!

Just heard from my mate at Aldgate that they've just bought a couple of body bags out - how true that is I don't know....

I can't work in situations like this, it makes me feel empty knowing how easy things like this can happen and how quickly you can lose someone.... whether it be someone you know or the person that was standing next to you on the tube/bus!
