Scotland Yard admits losing keys to Wembley Stadium prior to Olympics
Search teams hunted for the missing laser keys for days in the run-up to the start of the Games, leading to an argument between embattled security firm G4S, Locog and the police over who was responsible.
The bungle happened on Tuesday during final preparations for the first Olympic football match at the stadium, with officers being alerted to the loss at midday.
Locog insists that security ‘has not been compromised’ and that all locks have been changed, adding that they do not suspect criminal involvement and believe the keys to have simply been mislaid.
The news is the latest in a long list of security worries to affect the London 2012 Games, with the government and G4S having been heavily criticised for struggling to provide sufficient security staff for the various Olympic venues.
This morning just before 10am (UK/GMT) the BBC 24hr news channel had put on their text roller that an underground train service from Liverpool Street station (which is in London) had been cancelled due to a train driver reporting there was the “Smell of smoke”.
This report was just like the way the 7/7 London bombings report came out, at first they reported it was an “Electrical Fault”, so when i read this report i got that dejavu feeling.
Thankfully nothing else has been said about this “Smell of smoke”.
Oh also in relation to the olympics some 17yr old boy was arrested for sending “abusive messages” to a british athlete via Twitter, and the BBC won’t shut up about the Chinese swimmer beating the world record by 1 second, saying they suspect she was doped up. LOL
