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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
