London Underground Incident

[red_slr]

I guess they will be pulling the CCTV pronto. Clearly looks like a device of some type be it fake or not its not your run of the mill "false positive". IMHO.

Whatever that thing is (and we all know what it looks like) it doesn't appear to have done it's job properly thankfully.

Here's hoping they figure out the circumstances surrounding it. If it's malicious, someone should be getting their door knocked.

Not just any Lidl bag- its the silver one for carrying frozen stuff better- would this be a benefit if it was a bomb?

Probably stronger if your bag contents are quite heavy?

Looks like there is a small gas cylinder in the bucket too me.

Don't think so, as the other one is equally strong, if not stronger.

Probably just what was lying around though.

It looks like it still had paint in it? There are white splatters all over the place and I saw a video on Twitter of people stood on the platform looking through the door window at the device, one of which was a woman with paint splatters all over her coat.

That ladies and gentleman is what a failed IED looks like. Note the gas canister in the bucket and the wires hanging out the back. Stay safe people if you see s**t like that or something looks suspicious get as far away as you can or at least put some buildings or solid walls between you and it!!!

Now the police are likely to say that it is not known yet what caused the explosion. but from that picture I can tell you now that was designed to kill and maim. Note that it has a gas canister in the centre of the bucket with various wires hanging out of it. I would hazard a guess that packed around the cylinder within the bucket was shards of glass, nails and ball bearings. I should imagine they were hoping the bottle would explode but instead it's ignited the gas which has gone down the carriage and burned people. So if you see anything like that get as far away as possible or put something solid between you and it.

The white stuff is (probably) the explosive. Its often white or light grey / brown.

Well if you'd just bought the paint, poured it down the sink then I doubt you'd be that bothered to rinse the bucket carefully. They would be loads of paint in it.

Which is fine if the attacker had planned to die so took no precautions.

If not then an escape route/facial disguise/cash oyster pass may already have been planned giving a considerable head start.

If it wasn't nefarious I'm pretty sure the guy would've made himself known by now.

It should be pretty easy to sport a metallic lidl bag on cctv.

If the owner of the bucket was anywhere near it when it went off he will have burns for sure.

I doubt it though, I suspect we are looking at a dump job. That's a massive problem.

Not assuming that it was anything to do with the religion of peace, but that wouldn't fit in with the 72 virgins/raisins thing would it?
