Your condolences were the first I heard of this attack, Diane. On the Spanish morning news, it's not very clear exactly what happened - 3 separate incidents? Anyway a terrible atrocity again.
It gets increasingly more important not to let fear get in the way of normal life. AND IT WON'T!
I was exploring the Thames bridges just a few months ago and it is easy to see how this happens -- this show roughly the area targeted (London The Shard (#0284) ). Unfortunately it seems that terrorists have found a particularly weak spot of trucks/crowds in contemporary culture. We can't let these actions make us be less public, but we need to somehow figure out a way to decrease vulnerability. Though, of course, we also need to find a way to decrease the alienation that's associated with this.
Again:-( We cannot protect ourselves against this, but we won't let them win by giving up our freedom! The most inappropriate comment as usual from Mr. covfefe:::
So sad Diane. 7 dead now! Over 49 in hospital, some seriously injured.
London is a great multi cultural city and from hearing what the people who live there say, it will always be so. Thank you for your kind message.
Thank you all for your kind and sensitive comments. This is a fine example of how people from different cultures and countries can (and should) come together. UNITY!

My heart goes out to the victims.. and to the "other" victims.. the wonderful Muslim people who will be wrongly branded for the crimes of this slime.
