Scarily, the bus that blew up is reportedly a 59, same one my wife catches to work. (Other reports say it's a number 30).
It is an awful tragedy, but I can't help remembering some of the things Live 8 said abour the numbers dieing from poverty...
Poverty is unrelated.
Just got home from collecting my wife from work (and giving a colleague of hers a lift home). The traffic into London was fine, clear - smooth sailing! Streams of people walking across Waterloo bridge, as obviously the tube is closed, buses are limited, and every taxi is busy. Amazing sight...
Glad you got to her Mark :)
I have witnessed the 9/11 attack and I know what it feels like. R.I.P. to all victims of this cowardly attack. However, doesn't that strike you that someone is obsessed with numbers here, the date today is 7/7/2005, now add up 2+5 and you get 7+7+7. I don't know about you but I've read some some stuff about numerology and it's deeply rooted in the Kabbalah, a body of mystical teachings of rabbinical origin, often based on an esoteric interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Now, speaking of 9/11:
Quote:
According to Hebrew scriptures September 11, 1999 was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation, and year 1 on the Hebrew calendar.
Most other historic events between those 2,002 years (3 B. C. -1999 A. D.) involve either war or violence.
Following are the significant events of September 11 throughout history:
Sept. 11, 1297: William Wallace leads over 15,000 Scottish soldiers to victory over the English Army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Battle depicted in the film Braveheart.
Sept. 11, 1499: French forces take Milan, Italy, with little opposition. At that time Italy was comprised of regions with city states.
Sept. 11, 1609: Henry Hudson sails into New York harbor and discovers Manhattan Island and the mouth of the river later named in his honor - the Hudson River.
Sept. 11, 1709: The Spanish War of Succession (1702-14) represents the first European war of the Modern Era. On September 11, 1709 an Anglo-Dutch-Austrian force defeat the French in the Battle of Malplaquet, and on September 11, 1714, after 13 months of siege, Spanish and French troops broke into Barcelona, ending Catalonia's sovereignty.
Sept. 11, 1776: After the fall of New York to the British, a Peace Conference was held between General Howe and three prominent representatives of the Continental Congress - Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge. After taking the Americans key city, Howe thought he was entitled to a peace settlement. The Americans, having declared independence in July, considered separation from England as non-negotiable. The conference of Sept. 11, 1776, ended and the war continued for seven years.
Sept. 11, 1777: The British defeat the Americans, led by George Washington, at the Battle of Brandywine Creek in the American War of Independence. The battle is regarded as the first where Americans carried the American Flag (Old Glory) to battle.

Sept. 11, 1941: Construction of the Pentagon began on this day in 1941. The purpose was to provide a temporary solution to the War Department's critical shortage of space. The ground breaking ceremony also took place on September 11, 1941. Sixty years later, to the day, the Pentagon is attacked for the first time in it's history on Sept. 11, 2001.
Sept. 11, 1944: President Roosevelt, British PM Winston Churchill, and Canadian PM Mackenzie King meet in Canada, at the Quebec Conference. Also, the US 1st Army crosses the border into German territory.
Sept. 11, 1948: Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the first head of state for Pakistan dies in Karachi. He is called "The Great Leader" and "Father of the Nation". Born on Christmas Day, 1876, he is schooled in London and later returns to build the nation of Pakistan. Jinnah, a Muslim, was a strong advocate for Muslim - Hindu unity.

Sept. 11, 1973: Chilean President Salvador Allende is killed in a violent military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.
Sept. 11, 1990: U. S. President George Bush addresses Congress on the Persian Gulf crisis, vowing that "Sadam Hussein will fail" in his takeover of Kuwait. Eleven years later, to the day, his son George W. Bush, would face an even greater challenge.

*George Bush Sr. announces the 'New World Order'.
Sept. 11, 2001: *Terrorists with connections to Osama bin Laden alledgedly hijack four aircraft. Two are crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York, collapsing both towers. Another plane is crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, collapsing one side. The fourth plane crashes in a Pennsylvania field. The death toll exceeds 3,000 lives. U. S. President George W. Bush responds with a global attack on terrorism.
I'm sure you can do that for most dates. It's like the bible code thing - you can do it with any book.
Interesting thing about this:
Sept. 11, 1973: Chilean President Salvador Allende is killed in a violent military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.
The US government was involved, it's documented and mainstream that it was, and Henry Kissinger was a major player in this - They feared that the democratic socialism in Chilie would spread to other countries and they would not be under as much US influence.
You're right incka but lots of those events seem to overlap. Whoever's behind this, they gotta be sick and twisted.Quote:

It hits close to home some how, more so then other attacks did.
Uhhh I'm interested to know where that 2 you're adding to 5 came from.Quote:

Glad your wife's safe, Mark.
I think its the 2 and 5 from 2005?
All coincidence though - these things are over hundreds of years! I bet an enormous amount of stuff occurs each day through history, and how accurate are the records?
Are you serious?, do you know how many people died in the 911 attack? How can you say one tragic event is more important than the other? They're all in our hearts.Quote:

I didn't say it hit closer to home then 9/11, being an American that would a very odd thing to say indeed. By other I meant the other ones.
Mark, Good to hear that your wife got back safe and sound.
I don't like to say one event is more shocking than the other (this isn't a competition). Not meant to be critical of anyone here :)
To be honest, I'm still shocked by 9/11 all these years later, while I'm not THAT shocked by what happened yesterday... Strange.
I caught this on CNN International this morning, a woman was saying how she was chasing after a bus trying to get a ride just before it blew up!
