Thing is, it takes one person to detonate a bomb but it takes another to make it. I really am looking forward to another year in College lol.

So if they didnt come out then the bomb didnt go off?:s
as they are strapped to the bomb and when that goes off they go flying.

I think the nails wern't properly placed, I'm not a bomb technician! One minute, phones going off. Right that was my mate in Exeter, it seems that there are a few more bombers and one of them has been caught by the police. Most of the coppers have machine guns there and seriously, it's high alert there. The train stations are on high alert too, it's all pretty on edge there.

eek, seriously eek.

Nandos & Topman will be on high alert since they're the 2 closest, same with Fat Face. I'm thankful I got off College early today because I probably would've went to Nandos for dinner being paid today.

It's definetly a terrorist bomb, but it looks like the man who tried to set it off was the one who got injured which might be why the bomb didn't have such a devastating effect. I'm really shocked though... Exeter is so peaceful, but there really is no police presence in the City Centre so this is probably the only day you'll see police in Exeter. Tommorow in college will be interesting.

EDIT: My dad's going to the Princesshay Management briefing now, might just get some details in before the Press. Also there's reports that a second man is on the loose and in fact the man which was injured was Terrorist Bomber. The accomplice has ran off it seems but he too has a package similar to the injured man. Princesshay's going to be like Fort Knox tommorow, oh god.

The closest thing the police have to machine guns are MP5's.
Some airports use P90's but majority are MP5's.
Can you show me a pic of the police's machine guns?
Or get your dad to ring me with the name of them?

Oh, probably are MP5's then. I heard that from my mate in Exeter who was in the cordined zone so maybe he was exaggerating. I'd bet it was the standard sort of gun police have then... Well the Bomb Squad's there so god knows what's going on. I don't have a picture but I'd believe it, especially in the circumstances.

Thats so sad, how can people do these things.

MP5

and yer the bomb squad will be there incase they find anything.

Yeah that's the one I was talking about! :P I'd class that as a machine gun for it's structure, apologies lol. Bomb squad are there ano that.
