[News] London Bridge Incident

[Megazone]

London Bridge attack terrorists wore FAKE suicide vests

Looks like the temperature's very hot in London right now.....

 

[Icy Gull]

Not sure why FAKE needs to be in capitals. Anyone approaching/neutralising the attacker wouldn't know it was fake................until it was too late either way.

That’s not from today is it? Only Northerners dress like that in the winter

Bad timing though, you'll miss all the election 'fun'.

Fun? You sure?

We could move that thread to the 1 million response thread.

That would be sweet, I'd never chance upon NSC's anti brave policeman types.

Fun? You sure?

Anyway, I'll be seeing you in about a month's time. Mods have gathered in a virtual conference, to determine your fate. So long.

It was the caption from the Sun's photo post on their website. I copied it over. June 17 attack.

Some good video filmed from bus on Mail On Line.
Several members of the public deserve medals.

Odd too that it's pitch black and the incident was the middle of the afternoon

In which case, bravo to the police.

Moreover, in the split second of the moment, the policeman would NOT have known the device was a fake.

Exactly hoax or not he was wearing an explosive type vest,he wanted to die .

 

[symyjym]

I just wonder what the man who had the knife, threw from his pocket?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

To echo what others have said, I think we'll hear a lot about police tactics in the coming weeks/months. But we shouldn't - there was a clear and viable threat which was dealt with. Thank you to the public who stepped in and prevented a higher injury count, whatever it currently is, and thank you to the police offers who ran into the scene and took the required action to guarantee the safety of everyone. This story could have ended very differently if the tosser had been genuinely wired with explosives.
