Minorly heart-breaking

I was helping a woman downstairs today. As we go upstairs I notice her leg isn't working properly. I ask if she's O.K, and she says yes... but that her knee's never been right since she was caught in the 7/7 bombings.

She says she remembers her son, who had come over from Iran to see her, screaming for her, cause he'd seen the train blow, but not being able to answer him.

As we get upstairs...
"Where was that shop you were talking about again dear? My memories not so good since then either".

Being where I am I hadn't met someone involved before, as I'm in a totally different city.
Poor old lady, but she was just happy to be alive.

Where's the Kleenex™?

That's closer than anyone I know. The closest I got was being on a right train, but a week earlier for a training course.

A friend of mine was on one of the trains. He wasn't in the carriage that was bombed, but as they were evacuated from the train they were lead through the carriage that had been bombed.

I was staying in Russell Square - I flew out of London at 6am that morning. I went back to the same hotel about a week later, and apparently it had been used as a temporary morgue whilst they were getting everyone out of the Tube.

My friend was in Scotland at the time. He was planning on going down to London a day after the bombings happened.
