*erm thats 3 days old (your first link) and 6 days old (your second one) they are a little out of date... and its bank (singular) just Northern Rock has been affected... no other banks have had runs on them....

Like I said -- I don't know all of the details. It's just an interesting story to note.
The point being that bad things happen. Anywhere and at any time. Often: no one can forsee such events, or stop them from occuring. But it's still human nature to look for a scapegoat to blame whenever bad stuff (such as natural disasters) appears on the horizon.
