At work. Spent an hour or more in the staff room after work watching it on the news, desperatly trying to get through to freinds and family working and living in the area.

I was keeping updated in work by reading the thread on After Hours about it.

i was working in england. the guy i was talking to at the time it was announced on the radio as an electrical surge was an american who used to work on the underground. he said straight away that it was a bomb. it was a lovely summer's day too.


i was wearing a red tshirt.

I was in Liverpool Street Station on my way to work. Took me 35 minutes to walk the normal 10 minute walk from the station thanks to police cordons. Eventually got to the office whereupon everyone who got there was shuffled into the basement bomb shelter for an hour before continuing with the day. Eventually got on the first train from Liverpool Street home at 4PM when it opened again

I was in work. I remember though that the news was very slow to catch up on the seriousness of it.

The first headlines were something along the lines of "Tube shut after explosion. No injuries reported".

I don't remember 9/11. Was it as bad as 11/9?

11/9 was very bad. Lot's of rich, white people died in it.

Regarding the London bombings, a hint as to which one would be nice.

Mercy Seat

At the gaeltacht, wasn't allowed any news shows/newspapers that were in English, so had ot rely on the teachers for any information about it.

Had flown threw Heathrow that morning, was on an airplane to the US while it happened. It is only a matter of time before we see more atrocities like this, not just in the UK.

I have 15 people to verify where i was that night.

Was in London, on a bus, en route to a tube station.

My wife called me, told me there was a power related explosion on the tube.

Then heard tell of the bus blowing up, got off the bus at the next stop, and went home to watch it on TV for the day.

My wife had to walk 6 miles home that night.

I went to work on the tube the next day, and in all honesty, got quite nervous when someone got onto a carriage with a rucksack. Same on a bus.
You could sense that they were uncomfortable too. It became a trend especially among asians to wear transparent plastic backpacks as if to say "no threat here"

weird times.

I've no idea.

Didn't pass much heed to it at the time - it might make a footnote in the annals of history, at best.

Scuid Mhór

i was coming home from a drama summer camp and i got in the car and my mom looked very worried and the radio was blaring and i asked if it was as bad as 9/11 and my mom said no and i just went on with my day. i do remember combing through cbbc newsround that night to get more information on it. i was certainly old enough to deal with it i guess. i just didn't care because i didn't think there were any casualties until that night.

My good friend died on 9/11 as I watched. He was not rich and his death should not be the punchline to your crap witty banter.

I was at Stratford tube station and was told the complete system was down, thought it was an electrical problem first until I saw it all over Sky news in TV shops.

Was on the tube to go see QOTSA play. Needless to say, they cancelled their gig.

Did ya get to the re-scheduled one a month later?

Was on way to cousins in Tipp before coming to Oxegen. Apparently my mate said something along the lines of Paris taking it badly, as London had won the rights to host the 2012 Olympics the day before:eek::o

Which bombings are these? Bombings in the London and the rest of the UK have been relatively common over the last 40 off years like.

I was working with a carpenter laying timber floors in my uncles house at the time, I remember hearing it on the radio and figured it was a NWO conspiracy against all the momentum that was building for debt relief and those concerts at the time. It certainly turned the media attention away from those things.
