The blast, on an eastbound District Line train from Wimbledon, is being treated as terrorism, police said.
The Metropolitan Police said it was too early to confirm the cause of the fire and the station, which is above ground, has been cordoned off.
maybe I'm stupid or naïve but why is it so important to decide whether it's a terrorist act or not before you even know what's caused the bang?

Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017

Calling incidents terrorism before they've actually determined what happened seems to be what they do now. There might be stuff they aren't telling us though. Oh fuck off and die, Trump.

i'll stop playing faux naïve and just ponder whether there aren't systemic and political (small p) reasons that encourage this rush to judgement too

if your department's brief is counter-terrorism you kind of have a subliminal but vested interest in keeping the importance of your department in the public eye

May fucking loves those Cobra meetings, they give her a chance to project the pretense that her battered party and parliamentary authority still actually counts for shit.

if this is terrorism tho it's obviously the work of an elaborate and highly-trained network

lol! I saw MC Tunes at the Sheffield Octagon in about '90. He had a battered looking face that exuded much wear and tear, but not much wisdom. I'm not sure if he has got the answers! I can remember him saying "Fuck the Babylon" a few times tho!

Robyn Frost, about to enter the station to travel into central London, saw “blood on the floor and people running down the stairs screaming ‘get out’”. Aaron Butterfield, a production manager, also arriving at the station, described people “crawling over one another” in desperation as they tried to flee. There was more panic, he said, when police told them there had been an explosion, and “someone was running around with a knife” and there was possibly another explosive device, he said.
are we now doomed to a world where some fucking idiot says "someone is running around with a knife" every time anything explodes?

there was an attempted knife attack here in Paris today, at Châtelet, on a soldier on anti-terror patrol, is that what you're thinking of? no one was hurt, attacker was captured, said something about Allah during the attack, was previously unknown to French intelligence, apparently.
