Hundreds of commuters spent Thursday night stranded in London and some have accused hoteliers of cashing in on the bomb attacks.

Prices at a number of London's hotels increased by more than double on Thursday night, the BBC has learned.

Lastminute.com said price rises for hotels featured on its site had been set by hotels themselves.
However, some hotels offered blankets and use of showers for free and other businesses donated goods to casualties.

Reminds me of some gas stations in the Midwest jumping from $1.40 a gallon
to over $4 a gallon just minutes after 9/11.
