I don't understand why BBC network hasn't switched from Wimbledon. There is no play at the moment. If it had happened at Heathrow it would have been a very different situation.

STV has just used the phrase: "Now for our weekly showbiz update". Oh holy Christ. If there was a four minute warning in Glasgow they'd be more interested in interviewing Cameron Diaz...

CNN in Atlanta are giving this open ended coverage at the moment. Am I correct in thinking there is no programming from the London bureau over the weekend?

ITV just broadcast recorded video from the scene - are they the first?

No Sky and the BBC have all shown the video - if it's the mobile phone one where it's just after detonation.

You're right, Newsroom. CNN's London (and Hong Kong, for that matter) bureau only operates during the week.

No not viewer video, broadcast quality video of the fire brigade putting out the fire.

ITV News must have got there first, they had shots of the burning car and the Fire Brigade in attendance.

Just tuned into sky. Bloody hell!

Thankgoodness either of these attacks were not any worse than they could have been.

We, as a country have to be lucky everyday of our lives. The terrorists have to be lucky only once.

London was sheer luck that the cars didn't go up, and from i make of the footage of Glasgow that was only by chance too.

Theres some fookin' nut nuts out there.

For God's sake get Sissons off. It's embarassing.

Lorna Gordon looks like she could handle it from there with minimal intervention from the studio.

Although they're not going to make their way home by foot to Glasgow from the airport - it's not even in Glasgow, it's in Paisley...
