london bombings

Oh I remember it like it was yesterday! I was at school, we were all playing football in the tennis courts and there was an announcement over the tannoy. Now the day before they had done a tannoy announcement saying London had been awarded the Olympics for 2012, so we assumed it was the same announcement again (looking back on it, it was stupid!). We all cheered and shouted "COME ON LONDON" etc etc (cringe).
I then went to the dentist, and when I was halfway there my aunty saw me and picked me up. On the way to the dentist she was like "HAVE YOU HEARD?" I was like, "about what?" and the explanation ensued. It then clicked what the tannoy was about and when I got back to school I explained to all my mates what had happened and we were all stood there in shock.

london bombings

Right... it was a bit like this in australia:

London was bombed. Two terrorists drove a car into the airport, hardly anyone hurt. Man was on fire telling the cops to kill him.

Thats it.

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.

LOL You'd have died pretty quick babes. ;]

I was at home ill and no one in our family works in London so it was kai
