London bombings: blogs on frontline

I just got an email from a friend in central London who told me about the bomb blast that took place a couple of hours ago. "We are locked in at work, everything is ok at the moment," she writes.

This just came in from Blog Herald:

"As news and first pictures start to emerge of the carnage caused by multiple bomb blasts on the London Underground (the Tube) blogs and bloggers are providing news that cant be gathered elsewhere (the BBC is currently offline, possibly due to traffic)

"The Guardian Newsblog is providing up to date reports from the chaos that combines the strength of the mainstream press with the imediacy of blogging.

"Across the Atlantic has up to the minute reports from the BBC TV coverage.

"Updates: ABC TV here in Australia is running a live feed from the BBC: reports highly confused, 1, maybe more buses where bombs have exploded, multiple tube stations, reports of bodies in the street, 7 bomb sites, mixed reports of 'security incidents' in other English towns. BBC and CNN websites are both off line as at 10:20 GMT

"Reaching for Lucidity is covering the story from Littlehampton."
The Blog Herald

The Guardian writes: "We have no news yet of the number of injuries, or deaths, although eyewitnesses quoted on the BBC say there are a number of bodies under sheets, in several locations in the city."
