Terrible! We are watching it on CNN right now, and thinking how just two weeks ago DH and I were outside Westminster Abbey, marveling at the architecture of the Palace of Westminster.

What a world.

Tentative reports are that the group of tourists injured may be visiting French schoolchildren and teachers. This hasn't been confirmed. However, BBC Reports that one woman has now died.

My husband worked in the Palace of Westminster with Govt Ministers, I know the area very well.

It must be creepy for you, Catherine, knowing you had been standing nearby so recently. My sister and a friend were with me in the UK when the Twin Towers atrocity happened. They came from Australia via the USA and had been up one of the Towers only 4 days before.

Inhuman monster(s).

Senseless killing and ruining people's lives. It is disgusting.
