London Bombings

British Add comments

As soon as I landed in NYC this morning, I started to hear about the London attacks. I was quickly able to call and email friends and family there, and luckily noone was harmed.

There were a couple of close calls:

  • My cousin changed trains at Aldgate station 20 mins before the bomb went off there
  • A friend was on the train behind the train that got hit in the king cross explosion. he was stuck in the tunnel for over 2 hours and had to be rescued from the other side. He said at the time he had no clue what had happened and thought it was a faulty line. The only reson he wasn’t on the other train was because Becky held him up a few minutes in the morning before he left. … to do some washing up! Thank god for a nagging wife ;)

Unfortunately, many of others loved ones were lost and injured in this disgraceful, cowardly act.

I was impressed that Tony Blair came right out, and mentioned that this isn’t about Muslims, as these kinds of events could start a civil war in London if people took things the wrong way. We can’t let a few nutters destroy things.

My heart goes out to anyone who was affected today, including the bombers themselves who are willing to kill for a bad cause.
