And the day before was such a good day for England

London bombing kills at least 37, wounds 700

Wednesday:

• London was awarded the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, beating out Paris
  
• G-8 conference of world leaders commenced
  

Thursday:

• Three trains and a double-decker bus were targets of a coordinated bomb attack
  

Coincidence?

Much sympathy to those who witnessed the carnage and mourn the loss of loved ones; admiration to those embodying the "Great" in Great Britain and are displaying their strength, resilience, and spirit.
