So the first bomb went off this morning in Aldgate East. Then [all hell broke loose](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4659093.stm).

My office is in… Aldate East.

I arrived at Liverpool Street station at a couple of minutes past 9 to find it closed. I am really happy i was 25 minutes or so late this morning…

Everything is OK with me and Nat. I wish she was with me though, rather than in her office in the center of town. We’re told by police to stay put. The entire travel network has been shut down.

The folks at Cybermation are real troopers. Corrine Schmid and Kimberley O’Brien made it here safe and sound.

Anyhow my heart goes out to the families of the victims, and thank god things weren’t worse.

Talk about putting things into perspective.
