\n Witnesses saw the top ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King’s Cross train terminal, and three more apparently coordinated explosions caused carnage on packed subway trains as Londoners made their way to work.<\/p>\n
Security sources told Reuters there were fatalities at all four bomb sites, and Sky Television said at least 45 people had been killed. A further 150 were seriously wounded, and hospital staff said some were unlikely to survive.<\/p>\n
“I was on the bus,” said one dazed passenger. “I looked round and the seats behind me were gone.”<\/p>\n
“You could see bodies on the road outside,” said another eyewitness, Peter Gordon. “There was smoke everywhere. It was carnage.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n
