fuck.

 

[mrklaw]

Fuck that's the bridge I walk every day to and from work, and borough market is always busy. The side heading north is always rammed with people at rush hour in the morning and evening, and actually traffic can be fairly light. So while it might be fucked yo to think like this, it could have been massively worse during a working day. I might start walking on the quieter side of the road and also making sure to be facing the flow of traffic from now on - places like this are too easy a target

 

[D23]

Omg..

 

[jufonuk]

Not at work but they have locked it down.

No one can leave I bet.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

 

[Wes]

Third incident in Vauxhall.

 

[Best]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

Yep, to the west of London Bridge

 

[Stead Fast]

Another incident in Vauxhall too.

Officers are now responding to an incident in the #Vauxhall area. 3/3

[gngf123]

A third incident???

Vauxhall is a little further away, might not be related, hopefully it's nothing too bad.

 

[Jezbollah]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

As I said above, one or two miles west.

 

[SoRuffShoNuff]

Yes. That's what the streets leading to Wall Street and WTC look like. I don't have problem with them. And the permanent ones don't look so colorful.

Impossible to place those one every street in every city. Let's be realistic here.

 

[mrklaw]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

Not that close - its closer to Big Ben (MI6 building is there)

 

[daviyoung]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

Not really. About an hour walk.

 

[| Praxis |]

The scariest thing is when these cunts realise attacking the main cities is not going to get them the results they are after and they decide to attack more rural areas. Where I live there are like 4 or 5 police in a pretty large area. If one of these fucks decides to drive a truck through St Ives on a busy summer day, we are talking dozens, if not hundreds of casualties and fatalities with no deterrence at all.

 

[Creamium]

Fucking hell a third incident. And these guys aren't even caught yet.

 

[Visualante2]

Where is Vauxhall? Is it close?

40 minute walk.

Are you a snail?

 

[Fei]

BBC News guy is getting shouted away by police from Borough Market right now. Scary stuff.

Many nations are suffering. Radicalization and homegrown terrorism is costing lives in societies. As always we cannot turn into a privacy-eroding human rights abusing police state. However, we cannot just keep arresting and busting networks AFTER people end up dead/seriously injured. I know there is a lot of preventative arrests, the stats and figures show this. It's about probing into why pretty big targets slip through. The Manchester attackers record was mental.



I bet there are multiple arrests after this which will show they know of potential suspects in the area. The question then is out of these suspects what did they know of them and their current activities/likelihood to act.

It's all reactive, not proactive. First the terror attack, then authorities respond with multiple arrests and we find out that the terrorist was "known to security services". We all grieve and then move on.....until the next atrocity when we do the same thing all over again. There HAS to be a new strategy.

 

[Hazzuh]

Very possible this is multiple people if the Vauxhall thing is legitimate.

 

[Jezbollah]

Some of this live footage on Sky News is crazy.

One person arrested by the police.

Riot police widening the cordon quite agressively.

 

[DSN2K]

3rd incident in vuaxhall, so fucked up

God how horrifying.

 

[kyser73]

Yes. That's what the streets leading to Wall Street and WTC look like. I don't have problem with them. And the permanent ones don't look so colorful.

Because building walls & barriers all over public space is a dumb reaction and completely fails to address the root causes of why people do this.

 

[skypunch]

Don't take it as an exclusive message to NeoGAF members, it has always been a well-meaning message to any and all in a surrounding area of an attack or disaster, from one part of the world to another. The GAF bit in the end is because, rationally, that message of care will likely only be read by a Gaffer.

Ahh okay. Sorry to everyone. I overreacted.

 

[Xando]

Camera man getting screamed at to run on sky news.
They arrested one on cam

 

[Realyn]

Christ at the idiots complaining about police doing their job. Somethng terrible happens and you just have to find something to complain and bitch about living your life through twitter. Well done.

 

[Button]

Europe is under attack and there is pretty much nothing we can do about it. You can't stop these people. They will find a way to hurt us.

 

[SephiZack]

I kept hearing ambulances but didn't realize something so serious was happening outside.

Damn we had another attack here in London just the other month

 

[Nevasleep]

Third incident in Vauxhall.

Ugh. Hopefully it's not related or a false alarm, but the Police did tweet it.

 

[daviyoung]

Are you a snail?

I don't go south of the river

 

[Stead Fast]

BBC News saying intelligence agencies are not leading the bridge investigation at this time, making it wholly a police investigation.

 

[D4Danger]

bbc guy is getting pushed away live on air as armed police with shields go by. looks like something is still going on.

 

[Yamauchi]

Camera man getting screamed at to run on sky news.
They arrested one on cam

Situation is clearly still out of control.

 

[Boy Wander]

I don't go south of the river

Ah, you're a black cab driver.

 

[Vilix]

A third incident???

Vauxhall is a little further away, might not be related, hopefully it's nothing too bad.

The fucking hell?!!

 

[MUnited83]

I know. But there are people who aren't NeoGAF users that are involved in this incident too.

And those people aren't read that post, hence why he addresses the Londoners of GAF

Third incident in Vauxhall.

holy fuck.

 

[Vilix]

Riot police have arrested one man.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I live close to Vauxhall. Sirens have been going mad for the past half an hour.

 

[Orbis]

Situation is clearly still out of control.

Yep it's pretty chaotic, I guess there are multiple suspects who are spread out. As said, someone was arrested on the live Sky News video.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Ah, you're a black cab driver.

For us Americans I assume 'black cab driver' means driver of a black cab rather than a cab driver who is black?

Couldn't agree more. We have one proper policeman in my town.

 

[Jezbollah]

Err yes.

Reporter on CNN said someone was arrested

Yep. He was arrested on camera.

 

[Zyae]

[BlazingDarkness]

Multiple fatalities BBC reporting.

 

[Morat]

For us Americans I assume 'black cab driver' means driver of a black cab rather than a cab driver who is black?

Yeah, we have famous London black taxis.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Fatalities comfirmed on the bridge

Fuck this

 

[daviyoung]

For us Americans I assume 'black cab driver' means driver of a black cab rather than a cab driver who is black?

Oh come on

 

[Cairax]

For us Americans, what's the difference in a cab vs a "black cab"?
