London rocked by blasts coach

london - A double-decker bus that exploded violently, on Sunday in central London caused panic. Unsuspecting spectators thought that a terrorist attack was committed near the British Parliament buildings. But it was a controlled explosion for the filming of a movie.

The bus drove over the Lambethbrug, against the background of Westminster Palace when it was a huge blowtorch seen and heard a loud bang. The images will be featured in the film The Foreigner, with starring Pierce Brosnan and Jackie Chan.

The bridge was closed for the occasion and local residents had received a warning letter, but that message did not arrive at all.
