    There was an explosion on a London Tube train at Parsons Green station at 8:20 BST this morning.

    There are pictures online of a plastic bucket that seems to be the source. Witnesses are reporting seeing a large wall of flames coming through a packed train carriage. People are now being taken to ambulances with significant burns.

    It has now been officially declared as a terrorist attack. Looks like it was a bomb that failed to detonate properly.

    No doubt it will turn out to be another gift from the "religion of peace".

    I was there only 5 days ago.

    Wonder if "the religion of peace" was responsible?

    Thanks for the share, Cofty. This is unreal -- such a safe world because of religion.

    Just been catching up on this.

    According to today's Guardian, 22 people were injured by the explosion.

    Apparently, none is in a serious or life-threatening condition and there have been no fatalities.

    I hope the injured make a speedy and full recovery.

    I was there yesterday...taking my young son for an appointment at Great Ormond street hospital. It's terrifying if you live in London or there abouts and rely on public transport.
