'Incident' on Tube - District Line

[squerble]

A couple of pictures circulating Twitter of what looks to be something on fire on a tube train (more smouldering than fire), and BBC News have said police are responding to an "incident". It doesn't look serious at the moment.

Looks like some kind of builders bucket went up, doesn't seem serious

Thanks for letting us know about something not serious

as I said in the other thread

The Note 8 has started shipping. Customers had them delivered this morning

coincidence?

its a bucket not a phone.
This is either harmless accident or failed bomb plot.

Trying to think what would be in a bucket capable of exploding.

A Samsung Galaxy Note 8?

Few mins from where my mrs works, lots of noise apparently.

Steve Dixon has said on Sky News someone has reported a white bucket with wires sticking out.

Whatever it is it, luckily it doesn't seem to have caused many injuries. If it is an attempt to plant an explosive device there will be bags of CCTV...so they are going to jail.

From looking at the BBC article it give me the impression of a failed bomb not going off properly

The emergency services didn't mess about and took it extremely seriously judging by the photos.

Pictures on DM are those wires at back ? Could be headphones or something innocent just looked odd

Andi.

A reddit thread has few links to images of the bucket, little else.

Doesn't look like headphones, and with the extra white wires I dare say it does look like a bomb.

Put it this way though, had they been headphones and had anyone said it was a phone I'd be on the stock exchange like grease lightening. Im actually already logged in watching the Samsung stock.

Unfortunately, it looks like a bomb but at this stage anything possible.

Sounds like there have been some nasty injuries, listening to the eyewitness reports.

That bucket thing certainly looks dodgy.

Looks like a failed bomb tbh. I'm. Curious to know if there was a stash of nails/screws in there...

 

[Tefal]

and the huge fire in harrow means no trains in/out of euston

 

[Kainz]

Yeah. It's near my old high school so you can still see smoke in the air from here. The roads here are a mess at the moment.
