"Blood stained horses running loose through the streets of London". It's like some apocalyptic Biblical prophecy.

[@user-vl9yc9zd7h]

they didn't escape they were spooked by falling construction materials, keep your reporting accurate rather than sensationalizing everything.

[@geliconner9669]

That horse is very calm for being injured, I hope it’s alright.

[@sugarbertie1143]

I hope the horses are fine, bugger the buses and cars, the horses welfare is more important.

[@nunyabizniz1983]

I see these article this morning. Hope all the horses are able to recover from their injuries. Poor things must’ve been absolutely terrified.

[@arthurlincoln9093]

Who cares about cars and buses? Are the horses safe?

[@lindar7698]

I hope to God no horses were hurt and all those people injured recover soon.

[@avrilcrisp5725]

The title is pants. What about the injury to the horses and I believe some people were injured. Cars and buses are inanimate objects. Horses and people are not.

[@margaretgrove9158]

Bus's and cars can be replaced Horse's and people can't. Best wishes to people and horse's who were involved

[@dodongai]

Praying for the 2 horses to be alright ❤

[@alisoncox13]

Hope the people and the horses make a full recovery.

[@TEAMMAURICE]

Poor horses, I hope they were ok in the end

[@maureensummers8212]

I feel so sorry for those poor horses. There was a white horse who had lots of blood on him seen running with a black horse. I do hope they can help those horses. I heard some people were injured, too.

[@lindawitherington9010]

I hope the horses were ok the cars are just chunks of metal but the horses flesh and blood that feel pain

[@facehugger3]

Even the horses have had enough and want to escape Khans London. I don't blame them .

[@Paul-tg4xg]

I'd like an update on the white horse. he looked seriously injured

[@lesleywhibley]

I just hope the horses are going to be okay.

[@animalauntiebev7596]

Surely CCTV and public photography must be available from when the horses were initially frightened?

[@john-de5vf]

Hope the horses are ok .

[@user-nu3xr6ce7f]

If there"s a horse strolling around you stop your car, bicycle, bus to avoid collision and don't continue to drive. Generation Y is strongly missing common sense.
