Westminster terror attack

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Dicky, Mar 22, 2017.

  1. Terrorist seems to have run people down on Westminster bridge in a 4x4 and then attacked police possibly trying to access Parliament. Not sure about casualties but it seems the terrorist has a few holes in him and wont be doing it again!

    Looks horrible!
     
  2. reports suggest 2 down on the bridge and one more in the river

    Beggars belief!
     
  5. Last I heard was 5 down on Westminster Bridge, policeman stabbed and assailant shot outside parliment.
     
  6. Can't believe it hasn't happened before now though to be honest
     
  7. ^this, unfortunately. Doesn't look good :(
     
  8. It has been a bit quiet of late. I only drove past there last night on way back from Heathrow.
     
  9. 1 person reported to have died ,I hate to say it but it was only a matter of time

    Off topic. Do you pay to drive through the centre now or is it just commercial traffic?

    Terrible incident btw and my thoughts go out to the innocent victims. :(
     
  11. Only if you're in the zone during zone hours.

    What are they. Save me googling it.

    I am seldom in the zone these days though. :(
     
  13. Just central London. There's a map somewhere. Driving through it is such a vile experience these days, it's hardly worth it.

    It never was fun in the day. I did like the early early morning drive when I worked there back in my sensible days.

    Doubt that the barsteward who was driving the 4 x 4 was worried about the Congestion charge.
    10 injured 2 dead....seems some were French school kids! Poor sods.

    I was digressing to chill the thread. We all know what we think of him and what we can call him,but choose to keep the swearing to ourselves. hopefully the police will deal with him in the time honoured fashion. :)

  19. When these things happen I like to focus on the people who rush to help. Already several stories of people coming to the aid of those caught up. God bless 'em.

    I think something similar, if not worse happened on 7/7.

    Full credit to our security services for ensuring that these attacks are comparatively rare.
