London Bridge? 22:26 - Jun 3 with 21492 viewsvapour_trail

Something going down?

Nothing on news


Twitter reports from the scene are that a cab hit multiple people on the bridge and then there was a stabbing

Of course this could be a sick rumour but the early reports were bang on when it was Westminster bridge and Manchester recently


Let's hope not

Twitter is particularly unpleasant too. Seems a few people were knocked down - reports of stabbings too but I have no idea if that's assumptions or not.

About an hour before there's been a big incident around and at a petrol station right next to Manchester arena and at least one arrest unconfirmed.

Also a false alarm causing panic and injuries in Turin during the game.

World's a bit darker tonight it seems.

BBC news keep repeating that there are reports on tweeting that they won't confirm until they have some info on it.

I can't work out what they mean? Unless they are referring to the very unlikely rumour that there was also stabbings

I was at London Bridge last night after the horse racing. Bloody hell

Sky seems to be filming tower Bridge full of

Edit. Must be me getting it wrong

Hopefully this is not what we fear, and just someone loosing control of their car/drunk.

Nothing definitive seems to have come out yet. BBC replaying the same 10 seconds of video

That bloke may be correct but he sounded a bit of a fantasist. Not sure Sky should have broadcast that from one source.

They mean they won't report the high proportion of made up tweets that follow incidents like this.

Better to get it right, than get it wrong and make a situation potentially worse

looks like another attack, think we're going to have bring in some draconian laws now, 'standing strong' is not going to prevent further attacks.

Even if it is another attack (we don't know but it certainly fits the recent MO) what exactly are you proposing?

You can't stop people driving in central London and I for one wouldn't want that.

It depends who says it


The reports after Westminster and Manchester from witnesses who spoke straight on twitter we're right then.


For what it's worth, before it made the news, I searched London Bridge and saw 5 or 6 tweets straight away saying that they've heard gunshots and seen a van (some said cab) run people over



Awful to think but I hope it's just an accident.

Sky were just showing loop after loop of the same clips but didn't see any of Tower Bridge. Not really aimed your way though.

If it is someone on a list who has been "radicalised" but not committed a crime, then maybe we need to make being radicalised a crime? I know that's hard to define but we must do something to prevent this.

That's the point though. They are reporting Met Police tweets, just not someone who just says they were there. Plenty of 'fake' tweets on Twitter already, including some from The Express and The Sun





What the BBC is doing now, is exactly the right thing to do in situations like this. Sky take a very different view sadly and it helps no-one.

LBC reporting that '3 men got out of the vehicle with knives and started stabbing people'.

Makes me sick.
