Bombed bus was packed with commuters fleeing Tube

EXACTLY 30 minutes after the first bomb blast at Edgware Road, a bomb tore the roof off a red number 30 double decker bus packed with commuters forced above ground after the Tube network had been shut down.

Scotland Yard said last night that two people were confirmed dead in the bus blast but eyewitnesses spoke of seeing more bodies.

Doctors at the British Medical Association helped treat casualties after the bus explosion outside their headquarters. The front of BMA House in Tavistock Square in central London was splattered with blood and body parts were strewn across the road, according to one doctor who helped treat the injured.
