Sadly sounds like it is

major incident declared

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Seems a strange place to do it on a Saturday night. During rush hour yes, but surprised on a Saturday night - would have thought the west end would have been more of a target

Let's hope that as many victims as possible, survive and recover.

And that Police catch the coward in the van.

London Bridge is internationally known, worldwide exposure would be very high and terrorists would want to effect every part of our lives, not just rush hour travellers.

Very busy per the BBC as London Bridge Station is a major gateway on a Saturday evening to London's attractions.

Nowt to do with its weekday commuter traffic role.

BBC reporter Holly Jones, who was on the bridge at the time of the incident, said the van was driven by a male driver and was "probably travelling at about 50 miles an hour".

About five people were being treated for injuries after the vehicle mounted the pavement and hit them, she said.

The van, which was travelling from the direction of central London, headed towards the south side of the river.

Someone has been arrested apparently. (According to Holly Jones, BBC reporter)

FFS the peaceful religion strikes again. I know I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Are you thinking of Tower Bridge?

Plus several bodies in the Thames. Hopefully alive.

With his shirt off so I imagine the armed officers were concerned about a suicide bomb and made him remove his shirt.

I hope nobody has been killed. If this is what we all fear I really fear for our society.

No, why?

I doubt you're wrong at all!
First to call what everyone's thinking I believe!!!

Other reports of gunshots and stabbings. Reported on the Mail website so hopefully inaccurate.

Following this on Twitter.

So many tweets saying. 'OMG I was on Tower Bridge 2 weeks ago #blessed' or similar.

We live in a me, me, me, culture.

No, why?

Because I wouldn't describe London Bridge as "internationally known" whereas the iconic Tower Bridge would be.
