Fifteen years today since 7/7 on 11:38 - Jul 7 with 857 views | BloomBlue | Terrible day. Mrs Bloom was on the tube train behind the Aldgate one when the bomb went off not that she knew at the time it was a bomb, had to get off the train and walk along the tunnel to the station. Was covered in black soot/dust when she eventually got home so was very lucky and not even a scratch we still have her jacket from that day she has refused to throw it away or wash it |  | |  |
My wife was working in Russell Square..... on 12:12 - Jul 7 with 835 views | Bloots |

....that day and I was at my office on Liverpool Street. All communications were down and we couldn't contact each other. It was a grim old day that still haunts me. When I finally spoke to her she'd been making and delivering refreshments to the rescue services. So many of us were lucky that day, but too many were unlucky. RIP |  |

Fifteen years today since 7/7 on 15:24 - Jul 7 with 758 views | Pendejo | Was quite close to Edgeware Road station, running an errand, at 08:30 leaving the area just before 08:45, by the time I got to my office the RDS on the car stereo was blocking out the CD with travel info / news. One of my Chauffeurs was in Tavistock Square and was commandeered by the police to take a pair of walking wounded to hospital, leaving lots of blood on his beige leather seats. |  |

Some horrible scenes that day and then the failed copy cat attach on July 21st, the fear in London then was worse than when we had the IRA bombings |  | |  |
