Just branching off the 9/11 thread, I guess it's only fair to make this one. If you didn't know about this event then here is a brief summary.
Obviously taken from Wikipedia lol. Anyway, this hit home more for people in the U.K than the 9/11 attacks did, because it was in our country. We felt the effects more. I remember my uncle saying his hospital got called on standby for casulties of it, and we're about 30 minutes away on a train.
So, I was in school. Sitting in either R.E/PSE. I forget which, same class + teacher for both. She told me about it, and she put the radio on & went on the internet for us to find out what she could. The way we reacted was awesome, really showed strength there. But at the time, I still bricked it. Called people who lived near London to see if they were ok. Watched the news all night and it just left me seriously pissed off. How low do you have to be.. seriously..
Anyway, what were you doing?
The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated suicide bomb attacks on London's public transport system during the morning rush hour. Carried out by British Muslims, the suicide bombings were motivated by Britain's involvement in the Iraq War and other conflicts.
At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square. The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers, injured 700, and caused disruption of the city's transport system (severely for the first day) and the country's mobile telecommunications infrastructure. The series of suicide-bomb explosions constituted the largest and deadliest terrorist attack on London's transit system in history.
