A huge counter-terrorism investigation is under way after a bucket bomb was detonated on a packed London Underground train at Parsons Green. Witnesses described scenes of terror and panic after the blast sent a "fireball" and a "wall of flame" through a District line service in west London.Could have been much worse... apparently the device malfunctioned, likely a fortuitous by-product of centuries of cousin-marriage.
At least 22 people were injured, including a boy believed to be aged about 10.
Stand by for the usual flood of candles and teddy bear memorials...
Social media was similarly awash with people offering a comforting hot drink to those caught up in the aftermath.As Kate at SDA is wont to say... "We won't let these atrocities change us... and that's a mistake."
