London bombings

Just an update for whoever knows my sister. Amanda and David, my brother-in-law, are fine. David works just around the corner from where the bus blew up and had just arrived, but thankfully he just heard the boom and nothing else. Amanda was on the Underground at the time of the bombings but didn't know a thing. Her train didn't stop until after her station, and she proceeded blissfully unaware to work, where she checked her e-mail until David called her and said "Do you know what's going on?" Ah, my big sister, always in the know! This makes the second bombing in her London tenure that Amanda has been clueless about .. But the worst that happened to them was the hour-plus walk home since transit was stopped, and they're quite non-plussed by the whole thing. More British than they realized, perhaps.
