Question: How did people over sea's in Europe and Asia to 9/11!? What about attacks on the london subway!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I lived & worked in London at the time & I was shocked and appalled!.
I spent the day in the office listening to the radio - Internet went down through too much traffic!. No one did any work, we were all too shocked!.
I was in Eastern Europe when I heard about the London bombings & I was very worried about family & friends!. I called home & all was ok & called work - they had heard the bus bomb go off!. It was less than 1/2 mile from where I worked!.
I cycled to work for a while when I got back (15 miles each way) - couldn't stand the thought of it happening again!.

Fred - in the UK, most are certain that it was Loony Islamic fundamentalists - not an inside jobWww@QuestionHome@Com

Some were shocked and some were not surprised!.
In Britain there was a popular point of view that it was about time the Americans got a dose of their own medicine!.
Throughout the 1970s,80s and 90s the United Kingdom had suffered this sort of terrorist attack from the IRA who had bombed and shot thousands of civilians and police!.
The main supporters and suppliers of the IRA throughout that period had been Americans ,particularly in New York and Boston!.
The St!.Patricks Day parade in New York was used as a fund raising occasion for the IRA!. There was no secret about this and it was known to the FBI and CIA who refused to take any action to stop these activities!.
Any wanted Irish terrorists who managed to get to the USA would know they were safe because it was impossible to extradite them to face justice in the UK!.
After 9/11 this support stopped suddenly so in one respect people in Britain felt safer but they also knew that it was only a matter of time before the Islamic terrorists turned their attention to countries who supported the USA!.
The London subway bombings were just a continuation of the bombings of the IRA except that the Irish terrorists preferred car bombs
and would often give a warning!.Suicide bombings were a new development!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

9/11 was something out of this world well I was 10 when I saw it on TV when I got home from school it was live on TV!. Thought it was just a fire till another plane went into the second building!. It was something ull never forget just terrible!.
I live in London and the bombings on the underground/subway came as a shock to beilive that anyone can if they want walk on the train and blow themselves up these terrorist were born and bred brits to which made it more worrying but after a while the thoughts of it went!. London is not new to terrorsim anyways!. The IRA were doing alot of it in the 90s!. When I was 5 they tried to blow up the tallest building in the country which i live 4 miles from and the blast shook my house instantly everyone in my community knew it was a bomb!.

All sorts of terrorism are shocking but can also be positive depending on the person I find all shocking but its very common worldwide now its the new WW3 which began with 9/11 its not named that now but who knows what future events are to happen and in the future they would say WW3 began on 9/11Www@QuestionHome@Com
