What were you doing on 7/7?

[Kardan]

Well, there was a thread on 9/11 and most of us were too young to fully understand the severity of it - so I thought what it was like on 7/7? Of course, it wasn't as deadly - but surely it would've have affected most of us more considering the majority of us live or know someone that lives in London?

So, what were you doing when the London Bombings happened?

Personally, we didn't find about it till Lunch. I was in Year 8, and our form teacher didn't show up for afternoon registration. She turned up a few minutes and came in and told us 'London has been bombed'. I automatically had the opinion that it was full on destruction, as in an atomic bomb and paniced quite a bit. We had English next, and my teacher's husband was in London and she got a phone call from him during the lesson to say he was fine.

we were sitting watchin some football match in school in hall (cinema tv :8) and our teacher stopped it to put on the news talking bout it, didn't majory affect me anyway.

Urgh, I found out in a ******* vile way. This chav at my school started beating this kid called "Azeem" up because he was muslim, afterwards I was getting the gossip "why did he do that" and I found out it was because muslims had bombed London. As he was hitting him he was producing taunts aimed at Azeem as if it was him personally who inflicted the bombings.

Planning to go to the cinema, via the train. Trains were cancelled because of it. Frst London's terorrised, then I don't get to go to the cinema. Was an awful day.

Um, I was in year 6 and they didn't tell us until the end of the day saying "There has been some major trouble with the transport, you will have to ring your parent if you use the bus and get them to collect you." I didn't find out until I got home and was on neopets. I felt betrayed by the teachers

i was rehearsing for a prize night for my school lol, we got the day off for it. it was surreal though cos it was like a rumour going round at first and everybody was really nervous.

Was sports day when I was at school, I remember it was initally thought to be a power surge and then I was crapping myself worried about my sister and parents!

year 7, a message got sent through to some guy in P.E, it was from his dad and it said "i'm alright, i wasn't involved in it", which left us like ":S eh?"

then some guy was on bbc news on his phone and he said that there had been some bombings. so in maths we just talked about the severity of it all for the whole lesson.

in science the teacher put on jurassic park (like anyone was watching it) and spent the entire lesson in the corrider trying to contact her parents. also around school there were a few people crying because they either couldn't contact their parents who they knew were on trains or because something had happened to them. either way, a grim day.

I was actually watching Sky News at the time when the Breaking News came on, I was ill that day.
