Where were you When the London Bombings happend?

bob the bob

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.

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.

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.

Sounds a bit gay, in fairness.

At home watching Sky News oddly enough. Moved to London the month after.

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.

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

On my way to London as it happened

I was at work, trying to get hold of my brother who would normally be on the Northern line that time of day. Fortunately he was away, several of his neighbours weren't so lucky.

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.

Was asleep when it happened. Woke up around 11, turned on the tv, saw a rather grave looking Blair on RTE. When I figured out what was going on the legs went from under me. I was afraid that it had been much worse than it was.

For once, I actually have a story: I was in one of my company's offices just outside Düsseldorf, lecturing a group of employees on how to support one of our products - but one of them was reading the news on his laptop instead of listening to me. I was too busy talking, didn't find out until we took a break. Getting through security at Düsseldorf airport, a few days later, was ... interesting. :rolleyes:

****ting it that my family in London were ok,there's not just English people living in London folks :rolleyes:
