Chaos in London

A view from London hospitals
Professor Jim Ryan, a senior A&E consultant who is leading the major incident team, said: “They came in with blast injuries. They have fragmentation, skin, inhalation and limb injuries. The characteristic injury of a terrorist incident is multiple injuries to multiple body systems, and that is what we have seen.”

Casualties from the bus explosion were treated by doctors at the British Medical Association headquarters
“The blast on board the double-decker bus went off just outside BMA House in Tavistock Square, central London.

The building became a mini-hospital as doctors treated nearly 20 people alongside ambulance crews, BMA member Dr Laurence Buckman said.

But despite the efforts of doctors two people died in the courtyard.”
