Another group of explosions hit London today; at Blinq, Dan Rubin summarized the events in clipped sentences:
Deja Vu in London. Three subway small explosions in the underground, and a double-decker bus's windows blown out. No fatalities. Happened after lunch hour, local time. Police chased an injured suspect into a hospital. Botched? Copy cat? Chaotic initial reports of the events that less successfully mirror the attacks that left 56 dead and more than 700 injured exacly two weeks earlier.
While Dan followed a BBC reporters' blog, Politics Philly covered the reaction of local officials in Philly, noting that Septa had no plans to increase security in the wake of the attacks because security was already in a heightened state:
SEPTA says that measures put in place after the first round of bombings in London are still active and that they have no plans to increase security after new terrorist activity in London today.
The New York Times, by contrast, reported that, starting tomorrow, police officers in New York will begin conducting random searches of commuters' bags.
A sampling of reactions from around the Philly blogosphere appears below:
Whiskey Bar, Grizzly Mama, Disenchanted Forest, Pinky Bear, Pstupidonymous,
Pesky'Apostrophe, Classical Values, blonde sagacity, iflipflop, Eschaton,
Bloggg, Suburban Guerrilla, and Life Like Weeds.
