[Frost 31]

[B]At least 25 people are reported to have been killed in an explosion on the Metro system in central Moscow, with reports of a second blast later.[/B]
The first blast happened at the city's central Lubyanka station, reports quoting security sources said.
Another 10 people have been injured in the blast, the Russian news agency Tass said, quoting the emergencies ministry.
A ministry spokeswoman said 14 people were killed in the train and 11 on the platform.
"The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka, at 0756 (0356 GMT)," Irina Andrianova said.
"There was no fire. Rescuers of the Moscow emergencies department and firefighters are now working at the site," she added.
The headquarters of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), is located just above the station[/quote]

And here I thought those tunnels were supposed to be safe. Well so much for Metro 2033.

[b]Edit[/b]
Looks like the BBC updated the link. I'm not gonna change the quote but as of this edit there's AT LEAST 37 people confirmed dead and 2 separate explosions roughly 40 minutes apart.

Here is a tip for the rest of this thread: don't do this

[Tyler_Durden]

The Dark Ones are coming!

I want to know if it was a bomb or something wrong with a gas pipeline somewhere.

Don't make puns or don't make crappy puns...?

Nah, most likely the damn Nazis trying to invade again.

We could do without smarmy remarks in general for this one

[Gummylamb]

Oh dear

[Intenso]

Probably Artyom fucking around in the metro

[bepassley]

I came to the thread hoping to get a dark ones reference off but I was too slow

Those damn Reds and nazis need to understand that their fighting is going to tear the metro apart!

[Gummylamb]

I hope it was a terrorist organization, Russia will absolutely annihilate them, good riddance (to the terrorists)

And my condolences to anyone who knows anyone who was killed.

[quote=article]The second blast came about 40 minutes later, at 0838 (0438 GMT), and there "are killed and injured", security sources said. [/quote]

You know, it's one thing to bomb people, but to then bomb them again while people are trying to rescue the injured is really just a dick move.

[Skarphedinn]

Enough with the jokes, God damn.

Yeah. Thinking about that pisses me off so much.

That's a fucking intense looking metro system.

[Valdor]

Have you never taken a metro system? They are pretty basic.

[Teppik]

And to think that I used to pass Park Kultury every day.

That's Toronto's system, a bit old, the shepard line is already in.

Pretty basic compared to that.

[Bean-O]

I'm worried sick.
That's the station we always get off at when heading downtown, that's the line my uncle rides on the way to work. I hope no one in my family or no one I know was on the train or the station.
