Yahoo Xtra News Headline; says:A rush hour train derailed on the London Underground network Thursday, injuring 37 people, as the city remained on high alert following recent security scares. Three carriages of the train derailed near the Central Line station of Bethnal Green at 8:04 am GMT, but police said there was "no indication" of a terrorist attack. Instead, Metronet, the firm in charge of maintaining the track, suggested the incident was caused by a bale of material, reportedly plastic sheeting, becoming dislodged from its storage position nearby.
A total of 11 people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, London Ambulance Service said, while 700 passengers were led through tunnels to safety after being stuck for two hours.
The incident happened the day after Britain lowered its security alert level from "critical" to "severe" after three failed car bombings in the last week in London and Glasgow.
It also comes two days before the anniversary of the July 7, 2005, suicide bombings on three London Underground trains and a bus, in which 56 people died.
"I must admit my first thought was of a terrorist attack and I was terrified," Jo Croucher, 32, who was on the train, told The Daily Telegraph newspaper. "There was a great sense of fear in the carriage, but the driver quickly told us that there had been a derailment and I think I relaxed a little then."
Very odd indeed don't you think? I'm afraid I don't believe anymore in coincidences. I'm labelling this as 'Conspiracy?' and 'The Sceptics Corner' as it doesn't feel right. The timing of this sheeting dislodgement is where my suspicions lie. On the eve of 7th July and its 2nd year anniversary of the London Underground incident. Plus the day after the security alert was reduced from critical to severe. No ... I am wary of viewing this as an 'accident' ... it may not have been 'terrorists' ... but there is something 'odd' here.
11 people taken to hospital, 700 people led away to safety.Plus 37 injured. Do the numerology maths ... 11 x 700 = 7700 .......?
