News homepages layouts on the London bombings

News sites have covered the London explosions throughout the day. Let’s see how they have adapted their layout to this event.

The World view:
Contrary to what happened on other events none of the World news sites got a low-graphics version running when the news started to spread.

The Portuguese view:
In Portugal SAPO also kept the normal Homepage on.

Other Portuguese news sites like Público, Diário Digital and SIC (the last 2 hosted under the SAPO network) turned their low-graphics version on, maybe expecting a much higher traffic.

After 8 hours DD and SIC still had their special versions on.
