Bucket Bomb on the London Underground

Here we go again. Mass panic in a smoky, crowded space. Police cars and ambulances crowded into a taped-off city street. Men in body armor carrying automatic weapons. Dazed, bandaged civilians walking down the sidewalk. Declarations of resolve by political leaders who are determined not to give in to “terror”.

The allahu akbarriers, Merkel legos, and Koran blocks are all in place, so this time the mujahideen abandoned their vehicles and returned to their perennial favorite, the subway bomb: During rush hour this morning a bucket bomb exploded on the Tube in London. The teddy bears and flowers and candles may be muted this time, however — amazingly enough, no one was killed.

Most telling is the quote from London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said that his city “will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism.”

Oh, really, Mr. Mayor? What, exactly, is the shape of the “defeat” you have avoided? And what would “victory” look like, if it ever occurred?

Below are excerpts from the report in The Telegraph:

Parsons Green Explosion: Hunt for Tube Bucket Bomber

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. At least 22 people were injured, including a boy believed to be aged about 10.

A major manhunt for the bomber has been launched, with police working with MI5 as they forensically examine the device. No arrests have so far been made and the attacker remains at large.

[…]

After the attack during the Friday morning rush-hour, Britain’s most senior counter-terror officer Mark Rowley said: “We now assess this was a detonation of an improvised explosive device.”

A total of 22 people – including children – were injured in the explosion, with most of them suffering from “flash burns”.

Others were trampled and suffered crush injuries in the rush to escape the packed carriage, which was the last in the train.

Witnesses reported seeing people “covered in blood” after a “flash and a bang” from the device, but sent a “fireball” through the packed Tube train.

Pictures and video posted on social media showed a flaming bucket – which is said to have had wires coming from it – inside a Lidl carrier bag on the floor of a carriage.

The device is not believed to have fully detonated and it is reported that it could have been set off on a timer.

[…]

Emergency services including armed police rushed to the scene after being alerted at around 8.20am.

Prime Minister Theresa May is to chair a meeting of the Government’s Cobra emergencies committee this afternoon to discuss the incident.

It comes with Britain on high alert after four terror attacks in 2017. The official threat level currently stands at severe – meaning an attack is seen as “highly likely”.

[…]

The blast comes with the UK on high alert following four terrorist attacks so far this year.

Authorities have foiled 19 plots since the middle of 2013 – including six since the Westminster atrocity in March.

The incident comes a day after figures revealed terror-related arrests in Britain have hit a new record high, with suspects held at a rate of more than one every day.

[…]

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has appealed for calm following the Parsons Green terror incident, saying London “will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism”.

    • OK, I won’t argue with that, particularly when the time comes to reverse the flow and then turn that river into a flood of biblical propoertions.

  1. For a ‘fireball’ ‘hurtling through the carriage’, there’s remarkably little or no scorch marks or melted plastic ….. or anything else. Even the bucket is largely intact.

    As for the injured, the thin gauze bandages used look more like those from a visit to the dentist!

    Most curious.

    Meanwhile, in France today, a soldier attacked by an ‘ Alluha Akber’ with a knife; and two women viciously attacked by one with a hammer.

    • This highlights the systematic failure of the UK’s public education to make adequate technical expertise available to minority students, so they can implement fundamental technology with the same success as expected from the indigenous subway bomb planters.

      Now that their grubby secret of institutional discrimination has been exposed, have those Brits no shame?

  2. Well nobody died. Then this news will be in memory for 10 minutes. With 3-5 dead: 2-3 days, with 300-500 dead maybe a month. This is the new norm!

    • I wonder how they are going to suppress the anger from a Beslan?

      The collaborators will, of course, try to.

      That EU army is going to come in handy…….

      • If the gross scale of the rapes of girls in the midlands and north of England wasn’t the equivalent of a Beslan, even though no direct deaths were involved, then little will eventuate. What happened in the wake of the London bombings where 56 died and hundreds injured?
        …well nothing happened.
        What happened in the wake of the Manchester arena where 22 died and hundreds injured?
        …well nothing happened.
        In fact a house party was raided by armed police because the party goers offended a moslem police officer after she heard them or their music making what she felt was anti-islamic sentiment.

        So to answer the question, they’ll send the police after anyone who so much as criticises islam.

      • I wonder how they are going to suppress the anger from a Beslan?

        Thank you so much, watching and waiting.

        That Beslan was allowed to slide under radar continues to astound me. Just like all of post-9-11 Saudi Arabia, all of Chechnya deserved to become vapor. If only, pour encourager les autres.

        • Because it was in Russia and the NY Times reported that Chechan terror attacks were the acts of Chechan “separtists” –nationalists who were fighting for their independence from Russia.

  3. I’m pretty sure Mayor (Jihad)Kahn was referring to muslim Londoners, when he said “we will not be intimidated or defeated by terrorism”. The population of white Christian Londoners, never entered his thought process. Not unlike Hillary thinking 1984 is an instruction book, not a warning.

      Whom else?!?

  4. Everyone knows who does these ‘terrorist’ acts, but it is strictly verboten to identify who it is. This is insanity writ large and yet no one with any authority in Britain is yet brave enough to call it out and what needs to be done to eliminate such acts.

    I see Trump got a rap over the knuckles by that arch dhimmi, Theresa May, for daring to tweet his opinion on this latest incident.

    • Naughty, naughty …

      You shamefully omitted any mention of the flickering candles, endless floral bouquets, and droning hymns of “Kumbaya”.

      Any questions?

  5. With all those British gents in penguin suits and top hats carrying their bomb buckets and bumbershoots into the tube, it’s terribly difficult to single-out the highest risks. Stiff upper lip and all that. Carry on [plants face in palm].

    • Those gents ARE essentially carrying bombs into the tube as they use their considerable power to bring those people in and then protect those people from the wrath of the local population.

      It wouldn’t hurt for a few politicians and their supporters to be hoisted by their own petards.

        Without any doubt, that time will come. Sadly, far too late (especially for the EU) in order for these Socialist termites to gain even a slight sense of what catastrophic damage that they have precipitated.

        Be that as it may, the price that they most deservedly pay will be (appropriately) horrific.

  6. The same pathetic meaningless blather every time. But May et al do absolutely nothing. Strengthening preventive detention , deportations, shutting down radical mosques and madrassas and more. Every time as here we are told the suspect or suspects were known to the authorities. They should have the authority to round them all up and detain them indefinitely or deport them. And I find it equally pathetic that our governments have not banned Google, Facebook and Twitter etc from carrying information how to build bombs. The fact that after all these incidents none of these measures have taken shows we are not serious about fighting radical Islamic terrorism.

  7. This comment by the Mayor, that the city “will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism” sticks in my throat and offends me deeply, because it is true. Acts of Islamic terrorism, against civilians, serve two purposes, to justify draconian security measures against British citizens (including the forfeiture of the right to free speech), and to accustom the public to a way of life that is abhorrent to them but quite normal in Islamic countries. Pity that Darren was a poor soldier, it could have been the turning point.

    • Acts of Islamic terrorism, against civilians, serve two purposes, to justify draconian security measures against British citizens (including the forfeiture of the right to free speech), and to accustom the public to a way of life that is abhorrent to them

      You’re on the right track.

      According to
      The Islamic Concept of War by Malik a later stage of jihad is the demoralization of a target society. That is, you convince the targets that their current government does not have the ability to protect them, that they need another form of government (sharia) to protect them and assure them safety and stability.

      As the jihadist struggle turns more violent, the will to resist becomes progressively sapped. People look to their own government, but if their government is dissolute and unable to protect them, what is the point of fighting? So, the terror incidents have the purpose of separating the native people from any idea that they are represented by the current government, which is totally unable to cope with the threat.

      Sad to say, Europe seems to be in the end stages of its moral and psychological decay, according to the Islamists.
