So scary.
On Friday morning, 22 people were whisked to hospitals after an explosion occurred at a London tube station. According to authorities, the rush hour blast at the Parsons Green stop IS being investigated as a terrorist attack. Oh no.

While several people are currently seeking medical treatment, the NHS England London has noted that the injuries being treated are not considered serious. Earlier this morning, the organization posted on Twitter:
We have taken 18 patients to a number of London hospitals. None are thought to be in a serious or life-threatening condition #ParsonsGreen pic.twitter.com/3B13JznAqZ

Phew. Per one unverified image online, the explosion was caused by a white bucket on fire inside a supermarket bag which was placed on the floor of a train carriage. Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley has confirmed that it was an improvised explosive device and those injured are dealing with "flash burns."
The investigation is still underway as the scene has been roped off and Rowley added:
"It is very much a live investigation we are following down the lines of inquiry."
Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump has already weighed in on the situation as he took to Twitter this morning and shared:
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
However, the Trumpster did NOT offer up a solution on how to curb terrorists' internet usage. Perhaps that is a part of his secret "defeat ISIS plan"? Rather, POTUS took this time to plug his travel ban:
The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 15, 2017
We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years.Must be proactive & nasty!

*Eye roll*
As for the U.K.'s Prime Minister, Theresa May, she simply noted:
PM: My thoughts are with those injured at Parsons Green and emergency services who are responding bravely to this terrorist incident.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan shared some inspirational words following the attack, as he wrote:
The @metpoliceuk have confirmed that the explosion on a train at Parsons Green Station is being treated as terrorism https://t.co/4jRHedcBXt pic.twitter.com/Vbt5uCFpih

Sadly, this is England's fifth major terrorist attack in a year, so we doubt Londoners are feeling very "calm" right now. As always, our thoughts are with those affected by this bout of violence.
