Natural History Museum in London possible incident.

The number plate might have checked out but I ask again, how do you know it was an Uber driver?

I've put these questions to her but she's conveniently forgotten

A woman is always right right?

I married said woman who happened to be Pompey. On the law of averages you could be right 50% of the time but was told time immemorial that she was 100% right. I'm now living alone and have my sanity.

Lets not demean the discussion mate. Plenty of men on here think they are always right.

Very true for an easy life. I'm afraid I went against the grain.

I'm afraid @Thunderbolt has strange logic.

One tweet I've seen said an Uber driver making an illegal left turn. Maybe people should wait to see what it really is, before commenting.

More and more tweets saying this.

Now many tweets saying it was a cab driver.

Hmmm

I wonder if Greg the West Ham supporting Cabbie would have any ulterior motives by reporting this as a Uber crash.....

This is exactly why I am not on twitter

It might be, and it might be a terror attack, but I'm just checking for updates. The registration number checks out.

Not having a go at you fella, I know how much Cabbies hate Uber drivers and when I saw that he states he is a cabdriver on his profile alarm bells started ringing.

We will know the details pretty soon, to early to guess on this one.

I didn't say it wasn't terrorist. I said it was an Uber driver.

Following your logic, how do you know it was an Uber driver? Jumping to conclusions?!

Could have just been an accident. No report of it being terrorist related as yet.

That's changed but not officially as is usual with Met Police - political and all that.

I said tweets said it was an Uber driver.

So you follow tweets and the world is good. Please please look at what you're seeing rather than Internet chatter.

But you still don't know if it's an Uber driver or not which in fact is irrelevant.

A slight re-write of history there. You did say:

The registration number checks out.

...when asked how you knew it was an Uber crash.

My bad, thought it was NMH not NHM.

Crash not terror related

 

[Postman Pat]

A crash outside a London museum that injured 11 people was not terror-related, police say.

A car mounted the pavement outside the Natural History Museum in Exhibition Road, South Kensington, at 14:20 BST.

The Metropolitan Police earlier said one person had been arrested and video footage that emerged on Twitter showed a man being restrained on the ground.

An update from the force said the incident was now being treated as "a road traffic collision".

My friend you don't know me well enough to make that judgement. If this is non terrorist I'll buy you a beer ok.

 

[Weststander]

Was not terrorism.

Bang goes the narrative of a nsc thread, and blood thirsty news outlets hoping for the drama.

Monday’s chip paper.

Perhaps the MET are just waiting for a final considered verdict.

And the results are in...

Where should I post your cookie ?

I said it was to early to guess, and at no point said it was terror related.

People on social media seem to think that cars mounting pavements is a new thing and it is a coincidence that it happened near tourists. Every sodding accident is assumed terror. A couple of years back a car smashed into a shop near my kids' school - someone put car in drive instead of reverse. A few months ago in a town 5 miles away a car mounted curb and hit family. This happened twice in recent history near little old Warwick. Panic takes over. Sheesh.

You did say it was too early, and I wasn't saying you said it was terror related. There were several posts all at once, but the inference wasn't aimed at you.

Don't worry about the cookie, I'm losing weight. .

Only a few days ago a woman went to jail for hitting a family in Kent, whilst drink driving, but unfortunately, when it happens in London or a big city, people think the worst.

Could you imagine the panic, overreacting and wrong jumping to conclusions if the Glasgow Bin Lorry accident happened now instead of 3 years ago?
