faulty phone battery..been confirmed

[Spicerack]

Looks like a firework.

[ummmm]

"Officers have since confirmed that a flaming package seen in pictures posted online was in fact a faulty mobile phone charger."

[Gromit]

Calm down AOG.
I am certain there will be a real islamic terrorist attack along soon. Be patient.

[-Talbot-]

Of course you are joking, Gromit ... and yet ......

[Gromit]

I am not joking Talbot. I am 100% sure that there will be another terrorist attack.

[-Talbot-]

You've now omitted the 'soon'

Any reason?

// Calm down AOG. I am certain there will be a real islamic terrorist attack along soon. Be patient. //

this is a disgustingly patronising comment on an event that must have struck fear into the hearts of any tube traveller who would have thought they were er going down the tube - or something

You should be ABSOLUTELY ashamed of yourself and confine yourself to PO-faced comments of the most condemning kind

I protest in the strongest possible terms
see
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1570639.html
for a disgusting display of indifference and flippant comments

and for gods sake dont say 'damp squib'

[Peter Pedant]

no jokes
I protest even more !

[albaqwerty]

is no-one blaming the immigrants for bringing in the phone chargers?

[naomi24]

Thank goodness it proved to be a false alarm. Phew!

[Gromit]

Talbot,
An error which I will gladly rectify.
I am 100% sure that there will be another terrorist attack soon.

[Spicerack]

Police confirmed, no-one is getting charged.

[anotheoldgit]

Yes so easy to be wise after the event.

God job for all those innocent lives that it was proven to be a false alarm.

aog - this from your own link -

//The force later tweeted: 'Incident at Tower Hill station is not suspicious. Fire believed to have been caused by mobile phone charger overheating.'
London Fire Brigade tweeted: 'We've dealt with a small explosion on a train at Tower Hill station. It is believed to have been caused by a mobile phone charger.' //

The link was updated after AOG's OP

Thank you.

[Peter Pedant]

these damned immigrants and their chargers
why dont we deport them all ?
or even better like Trump prevent them coming in the first place ?

a spin off would be not to allow the playing of viddies of Gangnam Star - and I say Jolly Good Show !

[ummmm]

hc - but we posted only a few minutes after him.

[albaqwerty]

aren't chargers banned from hand-luggage in air-planes for this reason?
