At work. Spent an hour or more in the staff room after work watching it on the news, desperatly trying to get through to freinds and family working and living in the area.

MagicMarker · 17-12-2010 08:42PM

I was keeping updated in work by reading the thread on After Hours about it.

dlofnep · 17-12-2010 08:44PM

Don't know. 9/11 stole it's glory. I remember ****ting bricks on the Tube a few weeks later though.

Washing my hair after getting a perm

(An airtight alibi, until a young blonde female lawyer comes along )

ballsymchugh · 17-12-2010 08:46PM

i was working in england. the guy i was talking to at the time it was announced on the radio as an electrical surge was an american who used to work on the underground. he said straight away that it was a bomb. it was a lovely summer's day too.

i was wearing a red tshirt.

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

Blisterman · 17-12-2010 08:46PM

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?

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.

Mercy Seat · 17-12-2010 08:48PM

At the gaeltacht, wasn't allowed any news shows/newspapers that were in English, so had ot rely on the teachers for any information about it.

Celly Smunt · 17-12-2010 08:51PM

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.
