Could have been a faulty battery like a lithium ion battery from a phone/tablet/hoverboard/anything that can easily cause a small bang when overheating. Could have been in the same bag...
My local tube station. Pretty scary stuff. The images of the bucket with wires poking out do make it look pretty suspect, but got to be careful not to jump to conclusions before the facts are known.
if it was a homemade bomb shame it didn't blow up whilst they were making it and take there head off or just blow there hands off.
Used to deal with travel insurance claims. Had one from an Irish woman once who wanted to cancel her trip because her husband had been injured in a bomb blast. Fine, no problem. Upon investigation however it would appear that the husband was a member of the IRA and had been making the bomb at the time. We politely declined to deal with the claim.
Pretty close to where I live, got really fucked off I couldn't get on a bus this morning until I found out what happened and got a cold chill for being such an impatient bastard when there are things more important.
Hope no ones seriously hurt and no one has been killed.
