Where were you doing on The 7th July 2005

when the london bombs happened.

similar thread lol, to get your views on an event in a country where most of you live.

It was the first summer for me since moving from Liverpool, so i was not exactly familar with it, not as if everyone is familiar with somthing like that, anyways we were in the i.t room for R.E first lesson and the bbc website said their had been a power surge, straight away i knew it was terrorists because why would a bus have a power surge, everyone was worried all day and they cut all the phones off in school and mobiles were down (the police had done that all other london) my nan went through kings cross the other way when when the bomb went off the other way, so she was lucky. on the way home, we got on the bus and it was REALLY eery and silent, everyone was just looking at eachother for reasurrance, it really made me proud to be english the way we just carried on and didnt let 'them' win.

What about you?!

In a IT lesson, not entirely sure though.

[uh huh her]

in school.
i remember it cos when it happened i was in science, and my teachers husband was in london and someone phoned her to tell her. she couldn't teach us cos she was panicking, and stuff so we had a substitute. then after the lesson (it was before lunch) we went out and i told my mates, and they wouldn't believe me.

I was in some DIY shop in Girvan, where I was staying with my Gran. I heard it on the radio and I was all "oh my god" but my Gran dragged me and my bro outta the shop before we could hear all about it, so I went to the library and read about it online. Then I phoned my mum and dad 'cause I wanted them to know about it.

It was like the second day of summer break, and I woke up at like 9 and went onto myyahoo, and saw it as the top story. Told my brother and called my mom, I followed it the rest of the day on the news and all they could do was compare it to 9/11. It didnt effect me as much, Im in the U.S.

[2hd.]

I was in the cake queue. One of the kids in the year above told me but I was told it was 10 trains and 3 buses. I was the first person to tell my year!

[brapbrap]

Yeah 2hd. that happened at my school, some idiot girl spread around that every train was rigged, someone beat her up i think and she got excluded as it was seen as bullying as one girl was SERIOUSLY worried about her mum.

i was in PE lesson, just at the end and one of the office staff came in with a notice saying that there had been bombs gone off and stuff.. and then in science lesson our teacher was crying and stuff and trying to contact her parents (she did get through to them in the end), so she just shoved a video of Jurassic Park in the TV and let us watch it (although nobody bar 3 people did).
