Picture Sharing Sites Show London Reaction

Pictures of the devastation, reactions, and aftermath chronicling Thursday's terror bombings of the London public transportation system began to appear on the Internet late Thursday and into the day on Friday. Sites such as Flickr even contained images shot by those trapped on the trains, which quickly spread around the Internet and even were used on several television network's coverage of the event across the world.

BetaNews has assembled some of the most poignant images of the event taken by hundreds of non-professional photographers in London. This is not the first time the Internet has been used in this way - Flickr also played host to pictures of the December 25, 2004 Asian Tsunami soon after it occurred.
