I’ve been following the London bombings as close as possible over the past couple of hours. It’s scary to read about the various accounts of this morning, as it recalls many of the raw emotions that we all remember from September 11, 2001.
I’m sure I’ll have something more to say as the story unfolds. In the meantime, some worthwhile reading includes the Wikipedia page on the events of today (I’ve never seen a Wikipedia article grow so rapidly), this NY Times article, in which the narrator actually inserts himself into the story, and this post on Boing Boing, which provides a comprehensive set of links to blogs and Flickr pictures that cover the event.
And with all that, I concur with the Bull Moose that we are all Brits now.

I have nothing to add to the current weblog discussion on the tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean. I’ve been watching as the death tolls have climbed over the past two days, and I stagger with every update.
Legal Fiction has provided a link to a list of aid agencies that will be providing relief to the victims of the disaster.
