Filming for The Foreigner has been slammed after a bus was blown up in London.
The Jackie Chan fronted movie is currently in production in the capital and earlier today a bus was driven along Lambeth Bridge before its roof was blown off in a shocking explosion.
Onlookers slammed the filming as reminiscent of the 7/7 London bombings , when terrorists attacked the public transport network in the nation's capital, killing 52 people.
One took to Twitter to share the horrific feelings they experienced when they saw the bus explode.
"Was far enough away from Lambeth bridge to see bus blow up but not why, genuinely felt it in pit of my stomach."
Another added: "Hey film types next time you blow up a bus on Lambeth bridge maybe tell us first so children in park aren't freaked?"
"Just watched a bus blow up on Lambeth bridge to find out its for a film," said a third adding a terrified emoji.
The London fire brigade eventually posted on their social media accounts confirming the explosion was for a film and not an attack.
In July 2005, four suicide bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, Shehzad Tanweer, Hasib Hussain and Germaine Lindsay, detonated four bombs in an attack designed to cause mass casualties.
They targeted Adgate, Edgware Road and Russell Square tube stations, as well as a double decker bus in Tavistock Square.
The atrocities killed 52 people and injured hundreds more.
Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan also stars in the film alonside Charlie Murphy and Stephen Hogan.
It is said to be based around Chan's character after his daughter is killed in a terrorist attack and he's denied justice, so instead he targets the terrorists for revenge.
The Foreigner is slated for release later this year.
