    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? :p

    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.

    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.
