LONDON - Two weeks after suicide attacks on subway stations and a bus, police evacuated three subway stations and a bus after reports of smoke and an explosion Thursday. Police said one person was hurt but it was not a “major incident.” The bus operator said the windows of the double-decker bus were blown out. Police announced they were sending emergency teams to the Warren Street, Shepherds Bush and Oval stations after reports at lunch time of unspecified incidents.</p>
<p>My 14 year old son and his U15 soccer team leave for England tomorrow to tour in a bunch of friendly games and then to compete in the Manchester United youth tournament at the end of next week. Let’s just say I’m a little bit nervous. The good thing is the team has its own private bus and assigned bus driver for the entire time they are there, and it’s the same one their coach has used for the last several years.</p>
<p>But to keep the kids home would be to let the terrorists win.</p>
<p>Yes…that is correct. I empathize with your feelings of fear and concern but I respect you decision to allow your son to travel. It is the right decision.</p>
<p>The boys left this morning for NY where they have decided to spend the afternoon doing a bit of sightseeing before their plane to London tonight. They put the World Trade Center on their “must do” list. They land tomorrow at 6:30 am and have a friendly scrimmage scheduled for around lunch time at Hyde Park. I’m hoping for a very uneventful trip! Winning their matches should be their only worry!</p>
