It was rather stunning to hear Tessa Jowell admit about half an hour
ago that none of the 49 dead have been officially identified yet.
There is still info coming out that is contradictory. We're told
it all went off at 8:50, yet a guy is filming it happen at Edgware
Road at 9:20.
It's past the usual sloppy journalism phase and becoming
annoying.
You've got that back to front. It was initially reported by the
Metropolitan Police as 09.17, but the guy filming on the train showed it
was 08.50. The Met police later corrected their time to 08.50, and said
that 09.17 was the time of a phone call to the control centre. Apparently
other witnesses report that the police were already in attendance by this
time. So I guess it was a police error not a journalist error.
