#PARSONSGREEN Police confirmed that they are investigating a terrorist attack after an improvised explosive device was detonated on a Tube train at the height of rush hour in Parons Green, West London. 18 people suffered non lifethreatening injuries.
@Aljwhite noted: “The Met Police have said that Donald Trump’s tweets on Parsons Green (the president tweeted that a suspect was known to authorities) are ‘pure speculation’ and categorized them as ‘unhelpful.’”
@Delmody tweeted: “Local pizza shop sets up stall donating free pizza and mineral water to members of the emergency services.”
@Sadiqkhan summed up: “London will never be intimidated or defeated by terrorism.”
#CASSINI
The American space mission to Saturn ended in spectacular fashion after the probe Cassini closed 13 years of studying the ringed planet by undertaken a ‘death dive’ into the planet’s atmosphere.
@Astroguys tweeted: “Farewell Cassini – our science writing career grew up with you. You gave us a glimpse of what could be. Thanks for the science.”
@Jpmajor wrote: “For those who wonder why Cassini had to end this way, it is to protect the environment of Enceladus (one of Saturn’s moons) from potential impact in the future.”
@Fabrizioviani advised: “For a few hours, forget about Brexit, Trump and ignorance, and embrace science, the Universe, and beauty.”
@Kwalbot added: “After around 20 years in space and 4.9 billion miles travelled, Cassini earned its rest.”
#CANELOGGG
Despite all the madness and undoubted circus-like appeal of last month’s fight between Conor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather, true boxing fans are more excited about tonight’s clash between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin.
@Pagalkuri wrote: “Oh I can’t wait for fight night – my heart wants Canelo to win but my head says GGG, may the best man win.”
@Ram_lover22 agreed: “I’m so excited about this fight I can’t sleep. I feel like I’m fighting – been a long time since I’ve felt like this.”
@Boxingkingdom14 joked: “One of the biggest concerns from GGG fans is that he has no tattoos. Canelo has two, which means twice the power on fight night.”
