I am ok. A little shaken and inconvienced by the lack of transport. But am in Chris's office in Kings Cross.

I think I am shell shocked. I am shaking and about to burst into tears. I have no idea why. Its not like anyone I know is in danger and I have accounted for everyone. Its weird.

Your upset because it feels so real. But there is nothing you can do except play the waiting game and try to relax. Ali's idea was the best. A Cuppa and a Biccie. Nowt wrong with that.

Being upset is perfectly normal and reasonable. There comes a point in a crisis when you've "done all you can do" - in terms of making yourself safe, and checking other people's safety, and then it's like your brain sort of gives up and checks out for a bit. Happened to me after 9/11. It'll get better. Mostly.

You'll be ok Jo, message me if you need to talk.

I'm just glad you're ok, my family is ok and my other friends are ok.

I almost cried when I called my friend Claire and heard her voice.

Damn al-Qaida. Glad you're all right. Find something that can serve as a sedative, pray or meditate, and just focus on the moment. It gets better in time.

We don't know who did it yet.

And the label al-Qaida doesn't really mean anything, anyway -- see "The Power of Nightmares".

Also, from the Q&A with the filmmaker:

"If there is a terrorist attack in the coming months - which there may be - then I think there will be a counter-reaction from within both the political and media elites.

They will seek to say loudly that this proves there is a hidden and terrifying network unlike anything we have faced before.

But I think that there is now a strong enough body of opinion that will challenge this and say that it shows nothing of the kind.

We have faced urban terrorism before and dealt with it calmly and bravely and I would hope that our politicians will help us do so again without hysterical overreaction. "
