Everything pointing to it being the same person.
Sky just showed a graphic still image of someone who had clearly fallen from height - didnt look in a good condition - possibly someone who was hit on the bridge and knocked over the railings.

It's on their website with a wonky leg and some guy just looking at him on the floor What is wrong with people that they don't even bother to try to help?

May well have been beyond help unfortunately.

Think the shock of seeing such things would result in a fair few people just standing and staring.

Continuity of govt. they were not to know if it were the beginning of a big coordinated attack (like a truck bomb Beirut marine barracks 1982?)

Looks like an unsophisticated lone-wolf attack.

It'll be interesting to know where he was on the security radar, if at all.

I won't be surprised if it's a home-grown, internet radicalised, Islamic terrorist incident.

Erm.... it's blurred but it sure looks like there's a lot of blood around his head. It may well be obvious he's dead. Also, it's a picture; easily taken out of context. The chap may have already tried to help or may have been a split second from crouching down to him, we can't tell.

No, it's been confirmed that she is OK.

I won't be surprised if it's just a run o' the mill 'nutjob'.

[munky]

What's the probability that, after several years hiatus, 2 separate terror incidents unfold at the same moment, the same day, at the same place?

They are not unrelated. At the very least, one incident caused the other.

Looks like someone ran over some people in the middle of the bridge, carried on, ditched the car into railings at the north end of the bridge then ran into the Palace of Westminster, got as far as he could, then stabbed a policeman before being shot.

When faced with a traumatic experience some people will just freeze, unfortunately.

Only on PH...

I reckon best vehicle for ramming through a barrier would be VW Phaeton 5.0 V10 TDI at least 2.5tonnes 4WD built like a tank and nobody likes them, so no great loss. Dirt cheap. Looks like a Passat so anonymous to invisible. Could be used for mini cabbing to make ends meet.

That's just beyond the pale...

Bloody love the Phaeton, only diesel I'd own although I would prefer the w12...

PS - I'll bet you my mortgage it was a Muslim.

Classy

Realistic

Betting on a terrorist attack is putrid. Have a word with yourself.

Journalists are phoning the Downing Street press office with questions about the PM and the above is the answer they got - seems pretty normal and sensible to me.

Reuters have released a picture of what appears to be a blonde lady giving mouth to mouth to a man with his shoes off, on the bridge.

Does it ever get tiring? Actively seeking out offence, I mean.

You've just got all sweary over something that literally exists only inside your head.

offence miners never miss any tiny opening that could be exploited enough to reveal a rich seam of attention

I literally cannot believe you've just said that

A year to the day since the Brussels bombings could be a link to Terrorists?

Very important to inform the markets and the people that everything is normal.

It was on my Instagram feed - somewhat suprised.

[Vocal Minority]

The facts will become clear enough as the afternoon progresses I am sure.

Won't stop the accusations though

[BoRED S2upid]

If it is a terror incident how do you stop this new tactic? No guns or explosives required just a vehicle. Scary.
