On the 7th July 2005 three bombs exploded in London. Three on the underground, at Kings Cross, Aldgate and Edware Road, and one on a bus in Tavistock Square. 52 people died (not counting the 4 bombers) and over 700 injured.

But what if the bombs had gone off 30 minutes before, more people on the Tube and the bomber on the bus had been on the bottom deck. Also if the bombs had contained better explosives than peroxide, maybe big enough the breach the tunnel walls?

First off, how many could have been killed and injured if the bombs had been big enough to breach the walls of the tunnels?

Second, would the government react any stronger than it did OTL?

Third, would Muslims be targeted much, more than they were?

And lastly would we see more armed police on the streets of Britain?

I have my own ideas, but over to you.
