I remember that, there were some dramatic pictures on the TV of that raid, the entire front of that floor of that building was ripped out.
Just a thought - I'm not normally a fan of those Anti-racism/Livestrong/Make Poverty History 'rubber bands', but I would be willing to buy and wear one that signified our solidarity against terrorism and that we won't be scared or bowed by it, with the money going to charity or a good cause, of course. I wonder if something like this would be a good idea?

Hello guys. Yesterday was a horrible day. I work in the BMA in Tavistock Place and the bus blew up right outside my window at 9.45. It meant I had the rather unique and unpleasant experience of looking out my window down onto the top deck of that bus.
I arrived at work at Euston at 9.05 (the bombs had already gone off at Kings Cross and Russell Square I believe) they claimed there had been a power surge and we were stcuk in Euston for a bit. I got into work at 9.20 (Thank god I wasn't 10 minutes late!!) I sat down at my desk:

That is Tavistock Square out that window. Then the phone rang, as I was speaking to the girl there was an almighty explosion and I saw bits bouncing off my window. I immediately thought the BMA building had had an explosion. I opened the window and stuck my head out....
Grim. I cannot describe the scene as anything else. The roof had been blown completely off and some people had been blown clear of the bus. I'll never forget the sight of the top deck. Everyone was screaming and waving their arms. Some people were literally smoking. Blood was spattered up the outside of my building and debris was falling from the sky. A lot of people of the BMA were crying or in shock and they hadn't even been at the front to see the carnage. I kinda wished I hadn't looked to be honest.
Worse thing is I was in a Bermuda Triangle from Russell Square to King's Cross and we were isolated and a small piece of land outside the back of the BMA for a couple of hours. Good job the British Medical Association is there - they were shouting for doctors and there were some to help. I was shaking for a bit.
I hope everyone here is ok and everyone's family and friends are ok. Im glad I was able to get a call to my parents before they saw the location of the blast on the telly!!

Thanks for sharing your account. I'm glad to hear you were not hurt.
My best wishes go out to all who have been affected by these events.
I'm very impressed with the way Londoners are coping with these bombings. You are to be commended!

Appeal for bomb victims
Dozens of people have died and more than 700 were injured in four explosions across London on Thursday 7 July. The Mayor of London has established the London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund, in association with the British Red Cross, to raise money for the victims and their families.
The money raised will be held in a Trust and used to assist the victims of the attack, their immediate families and partners in a variety of ways. For example, they may be used to relieve sickness and disability, physical or mental, caused by the attack or to relieve financial needs. The money may also be used to support other appropriate projects that the funds allow.
The funds will be distributed by the Trustees of the London Bombings Relief Trust, who will be appointed by the Greater London Authority.
London Bombings Relief Charitable Fund is a charity.

i know what you mean
i dont blame all arabs or anything ridiculous like that it just so happens that the fanatics that belong to the al qaeda group share the same religion in many cases
i totally understand were amnesia is coming from
these people need to get a life how would they feel if it was there own families being innocently killed
there is just no need
not being funny miss c but there families are being killed in palestine, afghanistan and now in iraq. i think this is a soo called backlash and t.blair has said he new this was coming but like he said he didnt no when. but anyways i think i no who did this, and i dont think its the al qaida nore the ira, u wouldnt believe me anyways so i am going to keep my mouth shut!!!

I hope bush comes down on these terrorists with all his power and might and he will no doubt have the full backing of the UK.
the biggest misstake seanflynn, if they did that then there would be suicide bombers everyday in london just like its happening in iraq at the moment or baghdad, dont u think bush and blair have caused enough troulble and mess to our society anyway.
