Yes on June 30th 2005 there was a collapse in the TUBE. Tons of material blocked the line to King's Cross. That would allow access to the TUBE with all sorts of heavy equipment with no suspicions raised. Then there is the details of the contruction project - WELCOME TO MOUNT CARMEL.

I was listening to BBC's live coverage of the subway bombing on July 7th, 2005. I wanted it live and fresh. Then I heard about the TUBE COLLAPSE LAST WEEK NEAR KING'S CROSS!

While doing the traffic and weather reports the prior Subway collapse at Gerrards Cross was mentioned in passing. Subway collapse? Yes on June 30th 2005 there was a collapse in the TUBE. Tons of material blocked the line to King's Cross. The line was expected to be closed for months and a detour along the northern segment where the train was bombed occured.

That would allow access to the TUBE with all sorts of heavy, out of the ordinary equipment with no suspicions raised. How convenient. Then there is the details of the contruction project - A mega project. WELCOME TO MOUNT CARMEL.

Commuters face long delays after tunnel collapse
LONDON (Reuters) - A main rail route between London and the Midlands will be closed for weeks after part of a tunnel collapsed, dumping tons of rubble on to the tracks, Network Rail said on Friday.

No one was injured in Thursday's incident at Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, where a new Tesco supermarket and car park are being built over the railway line.

The collapse was spotted by a driver of a stationary train at Gerrards Cross station and the line was closed, Transport Police said.

Tesco 'greed' undermines planning laws
Christian Wolmar, Transport expert,

THE rail passengers whose journeys will be disrupted over the next few months because of the collapse of the Tesco car park being built over the railway line at Gerrards Cross may not suffer in vain.

By bringing to national attention the fact that Tesco is so desperate to expand that it wants to build stores over railway lines, this mishap may highlight the extraordinary power of the retailer.

At the same time the case exposes, once again, New Labour's apparent inability to exert any control over the ambitions of big business. And inevitably, the politician who played the key role was the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott.

It should serve as yet another example of his uncanny ability for turning even Labour's better-intentioned policies into massive own goals.

The scheme was first put forward in the early 1990s and residents fought a long campaign against it, gaining the support of 93% of local people. The plan was turned down at every level of local government, from parish to the county, on the basis that the town could not cope with the traffic Tesco would generate and, most important, existing retailers would be driven out of business.

So Tesco appealed and the issue went to a planning enquiry. The inspector's report favoured the building of the store and Prescott, who at the time was head of the mega- department that included environment, local government, transport and the regions, rubber-stamped it through.

Prescott's reasoning was that the development fell within new planning guidelines (known as PPG6) that had been designed - far too late, of course - to prevent out-of-town developments of the kind which had already leeched the life out of so many town centres. The idea was to encourage new developments only in town centres - with a presumption in favour of any schemes unless there were very strong reasons against them.

But Tesco spotted a potential loophole: Prescott's department had omitted any precise definition of what constituted a town centre. Building a massive store right next to a small town was allowed - even if most of the custom would be driving in from the surrounding area.

Tesco also realised that a source of potential new sites was railway lines. Railway embankments could be covered over, turning them into tunnels, and stores built on the newly created site. There are 150 such potential sites in the country: Gerrards Cross was to be the testing ground.

The basic engineering principles of such 'cut and cover'; development are sound and well-tested. The collapse at Gerrards Cross was a bit of bad luck after heavy rain. But it must now seem doubtful whether Tesco will try the idea elsewhere.

 http://www.thisislondon.com/news/business/articles/timid401960?source=This%20is%20Money

So in spite of tacit disapproval of the local people Deputy Prime Minister pushed the project through. The cut and cover technique used is quite safe and has been used all over, but this time we were in the vicinity of a 'covert ops'. Much work was required in the tunnel like pre-setting demolition charges perhaps. The police at first suspected high grade military explosives. Now we're told the explosives were home brewed. I don't think you could make that good of an explosive in your basement, but like the Beatles with a little help from my friends...

Get the picture. The spur from Highbury to the right of Angel is shut down. It leads to Kings Cross Station too. It allows unimpeded access to Kings Cross Station. The collapse damage was immense. The timing was perfect, but there's more. The Transit was thinking of installing repeater towers into the tube to allow access to cell phone signals. The repeaters were to be hidden in vending machines. EXCUSE ME! Why should you have to hide a cell phone repeater? Did they have some already in place for July 7th. Is that how the backpacks were remote detonated? Were set charges exploded too allowing for maximum damage. In the interconnected world of today aren't all things related.

Hello, I'm stuck in a tunnel: plan for mobiles on tube

Passengers squeezed nose-to-nose on rush-hour London Underground trains will be able to vent their frustration on their friends and family - and possibly irritate other travellers - under plans to install technology enabling the use of mobile phones on the network.
Transport for London (TfL) yesterday revealed it was in talks with 70 organisations competing to become involved in a project costing up to £1bn.

London's 275 tube stations could have coverage by the summer of 2008 using small masts known as "microcells" hidden in signs or vending machines.

TfL said that if it was feasible, the network could subsequently be extended into tunnels to allow passengers to use their phones on moving trains - although some carriages might be designated "silent zones".

A London Underground spokesman said: "Passengers have indicated they would welcome mobile phone access, particularly on platforms and in stations. If customers say they also want it on trains, we will facilitate that becoming a reality."

Among the companies keen on the idea are T-Mobile, 02 and Orange. Under TfL's proposals, the work would be funded privately. Mobile networks would pay for installation of any necessary equipment and may also be required to pay "rent" for the space they need.

Experts say it would cost around £250m to equip stations and a further £750m to extend the network to tunnels.

Roger Evans, the Conservative chairman of the London Assembly's transport committee, said: "This would be a very valuable service particularly when there are delays - it would allow people to ring home when they're going to be late."

Peter Wakeham, director of the Noise Abatement Society, said: "People are only on the tube for a few minutes at a time. Wouldn't it be better to spend the money on something else?"

Waco Massacre at Mount Carmel

So wake up people. The symbolism is awful. The project next to the disaster is named after the mass execution of citizens by their government including women and children. The phone number to the project has 7 7 2005 in it and the number of death three times 555. The Deputy Prime Minister forces the project through in spite of the wishes of the people. The British are masters of weaving a tangled web. Every road seems to lead to Al MI5DA. Yet the unititiated aren't taught or given the necessary information to ascertain how they're exploited. They react emotionally and head into the next preset trap like lemmings. It will be Toronto's turn very soon. After our leaders set us up. Things will never be the same after our 9/11. Don't get out foxed and let it happen. You may live to regret it.
