The London bombs, five years on
“The coordinated bomb-attacks on London’s transport network on 7 July 2005 (‘7/7’) left dozens dead and hundreds wounded, and marked the lives of millions in the city and beyond.
What was always half-expected still came as a visceral shock. A series of explosions on three underground trains and a double-decker bus during London’s morning rush-hour on 7 July 2005 left fifty-two people dead (as well as the four attackers responsible) and injured 800. Many wounds, physical and mental, from bereavement to survivors’ guilt, endure.”
