Police are today hunting for the 'bucket bomber' who tried to blow up a rush hour Tube train amid claims the terror suspect is armed with knives and may have left other devices.
The crude device could have killed dozens but failed to properly detonate and sent a 'wall of fire' through the carriage injuring at least 22 people including a ten-year-old boy.
Terrified passengers were seen covered in blood with scorched hands, legs, faces and hair – others suffered crush injuries during a 'human stampede' as they 'ran for their lives' at Parsons Green station in west London at 8.20am.

Part and parcel of living in a big city. Now back to work, pay your taxes and continue to buy all the products that consume your life. Just carry on as before.... remember, don't let the terrorists win!
