Darcie is A-OK

here is the message I got yesterday from my high school buddy who lives in DT London.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the blasts in London and normally I would have been quite a long ways away from the excitement but today I had taken the day off of school to sort out some visa stuff with my passport. So I left in the morning when I normally do which was about 8:10. I was going to get a tube pass and make it a day in london since I had the day off so I was going to get off at Kings Cross Station...which so far has had 21 killed...to get to the USA Embassy quicker. So the bus was packed when we got to kings cross and I knew that the station would be packed so decided to stay on the bus...this was about 8:45. I later found out that the bomb at that station went off at 8:51. I didnt find out about what had happen until I was at the Embassy and even then it was reported as 1 blast and that it was a power surge that caused it. By the time I finished at the Embassy and walked to the next place I had found out that all public transport was suspended because the top had been blown off a double-decker bus and that there were more bombs that went off. The buses hadn't been suspended right away so everyone who would normally be on the tube were now using the bus and they really pack people on those buses!! On my way home, which I along with everyone else had to walk, the streets were almost empty...one of the most crowded streets in london, Oxford Street, which at any other time you can't even walk straight because of the number of people and you are risking your life by crossing the streets with all the cars and buses was almost empty...maybe one or two cars on the street. It took me 3 hours to walk home. Anywho, home safe now so I was lucky. No school tomorrow because most people take public transport so everyone was effected somehow. Thanks to those who called or wrote!!
