7/7
 

Gosh that programme made me blub, those peoples experiences - amazing!

Re: 7/7
 

I was in London that day. Absolutely terrible. Let's hope it's never repeated.
7th July is a significant date in my life due to things that happened or I experienced over the years. Memories were hard yesterday.

Re: 7/7
 

For me 7/7 was very close. I was London exactly a week before and both my work colleague and I felt something that wanted us to keep off public trasport. Whilst there, I remembers how much I loved London for a visit and my OH and I travelled down the weekend of the same week. On the Monday morning, he left to go to Bristol and I avoided the rush hour tube. I just had a sense that the tube was no longer safe. Four days later, I was working from home with the TV on when I heard the news of the bombings.

It really brought home to me the randomness of fate and how lives are changed and ended so quickly with just the unfortunateness of being somewhere at the wrong time.

I felt real hated for those people who could shatter lives so indiscriminately.

I feel strongly for those continuing to suffer because of the inhumanity of that day.

Re: 7/7
 

I find it upsetting. If we had not been in Australia at the time there was a strong possibility that my husband would have been on the Circle line tube at Edgeware Road as he was working for a company in Paddington before coming here and did the Kings X to Paddington on that line every day.

For my own reasons I find it hard because I was caught up in the Victoria Station bombing back in 1991 and it just brings back difficult memories.

My thoughts were with the victims and their families yesterday.

Re: 7/7
 

Absolutely, we must never forget it and never ever become complacent.

It is etched in mind and that is for sure:(

So many near misses, so many people we know/loved were so close to being caught up in it but for one reason or another caught another bus/train.

In the office yesterday I mentioned it to someone and how quickly time had passed and they looked at me as though I were mad and said 'what happened on that date then?'

When something like that happens, we forget that not everyone is involved, not everyone will know about it and not everyone will care.

But my thoughts will always be with those that were affected in some way or another.:(

Re: 7/7
 

I was also working in London on that day and I found it to be one of the most exciting days I have ever lived through with the exception of 9/11 which was better because we were all told to get out of the City incase of an attack so we went to the pub to watch the buildings fall.

Re: 7/7
 

Are you a cretin?

Re: 7/7
 

You sick, offensive little 'child of no father'.

I take it that you didn't have to call your family/friends to see if they were OK?

I take it that the thought of those poor people injured/killed by that incident didn't touch you in anyway the very moment that you knew there had been loss of life.

I clearly remembering frantically calling my Dad to see if he had been caught up in it and listening to my sister on the phone in tears in Cyprus calling to see if myself/husband/father/brother were all OK.

No, I thought not - or else you wouldn't spout such shite.

My oh my, isn't it always the wrong type of people hurt in these disasters.

I hope you enjoyed your pint and your view of what happened.:mad:

Re: 7/7
 

I have angry about the offenders post for about an hour. Hence why I have typed no more. Utter, utter Cretin.

Re: 7/7
 

Surely that's offensive enough to deserve a ban?

Re: 7/7
 

Who me? Or the Cretin who had a couple of 'exciting' days drinking pints on the day others were losing legs on their way to work or the day they were throwing themselves to their death?

Re: 7/7
 

Is this a trick question? :)

Obviously the insensitive twat (which means not you).

Re: 7/7
 

I was working in the community we were taking the minor injuries to free the hospitals for the major injuries

Re: 7/7
 

My hubby went to London that day with work - I found out about it when I was in work myself. My boss came across to us and said "if you have anyone calling through wanting to speak to London Branches we cant transfer them because theres been bombings!" Didn't think for one second to ask any of us first if we may have loved ones there. It took me hours to get through to hubby to find out he was ok - phone lines completely dead - awful.

isgraham you are a complete prick - piss off somewhere else

Re: 7/7
 

how true , just find it amazing how insensitive some people can be !! it's cold here in Brissy today !!!!!!

Re: 7/7
 

I can almost hear your Welsh accent when I read this. :)

Re: 7/7
 

Wow you're good - it did come out in a very south walian accent actually :)

Re: 7/7
 

Could hear it from here too!

Strangely there is nothing in his earlier posts to suggest eventual trollism.

Re: 7/7
 

I've spent many a weekend in LLanelli. I loved the place.

Re: 7/7
 

Sticks with me too - it was my last day at work in central London before I left to come to Oz.

I would normally have been on the tube at Kings Cross to get to Oxford Circus at that exact time due to my train in from Huntingdon. However on that day I drove in to return my company car and witnessed all the emergency services going haywire as I drove along Embankment.

1 day earlier and things may have been significantly different. :unsure:


As for Isgraham - :thumbdown:

Re: 7/7
 

Thank God you didn't go on the tube! It was terrible I cannot imagine how people can think this a legitimate thing to do it just beggars belief.

for all the poor people caught up in it my heart goes out to you:wub:

Re: 7/7
 

Didn't see the show, i guess it was on in the UK. I always try to watch shows like that, not out of morbid curiosity and not because they often make me cry, but because I feel I almost owe it to those innocents who lost their lives.

Rest in peace:(

Re: 7/7
 

After the 9/11 bombings - I was working in Camden and this young muslim girl came up to me smiling away and handed me a leaflet. On closer inspection it said 'Celebrating the Twin Towers' or words to that effect.

Never have I sworn so well in Arabic and the main word involved a cloven hooved animal with a snouty nose that tastes rather nice with apple sauch.:mad:

You should have shown her the soles of your feet by jumping up and down on her face.

Re: 7/7
 

Ive got size 7s - you could use them as barge boats:o

Re: 7/7
 

Funnily enough, it was one of the few days that I had driven into London too. I was due to drive down to a site in Hampshire and had driven into London to pick up some equipment. After the attacks, my boss thought it would be better if I didn't go to site and I stayed in the office. Having the car ended up as a blessing because, as you know, the train system was shut down. So I managed to get home fairly easily as the roads heading south were pretty quiet.

Re: 7/7
 

I suppose you all know that the bombers relatives in Pakistan had a celebration.

"Relatives of Shehzad Tanweer, who is buried there, staged the feast to 'celebrate his life' and 'remember him as a martyr' on the third anniversary of the terror attacks which killed 52 people and injured many more"

Where's a Hellfire armed MQ-9 Reaper when you need one?

Re: 7/7
 

Them and the whole village will probably all apply to immigrate to the UK as asylum seekers when they finish partying, Brown will be there at the airport rolling out the red carpet for them.

Re: 7/7
 

Are you for real? :confused:

Exciting??? Did you feel no sense of horror at all? Compassion??

Re: 7/7
 

7/7, 9/11 etc they were all so awful. People caught up in it, or not, by a twist of fate. Sadness for the abrupt end to many lives, and their famlies grief. Such admiration for the way people cope in the face of adversity, and go on with such memories, and disabilities to enrich their own life, and the lives of others..

Re: 7/7
 

He is a troll.

Im sure if it were his wife/kids caught up in that he would be singing a different tune. Or perhaps he is such a friend of Mrs Palm and her five chunky daughters, that he doesnt have anyone that loves him enough or to cry over him should anything happen to him, resulting him being totally unable to comprehend tragedy and the consequences of a disaster.

He is probably quietly tugging at himself as we type to see if he is still in the real world.
