My memories of the bombings.

I was working for the Press Association back when the bombings occurred. Having sat on a stationary tube outside Bond Street Station for ages, with no announcements, we finally pulled into the station. There was a looped announcement that I'd never heard before as everyone calmly and silently trudged out of the station. Up on Oxford St it was chaos, but I managed to walk to the PA offices in Victoria. Being the national press agency and working on the news feeds, I had a little more knowledge of what was going on than most people. As well as the actual bombings, there were many false alarms that went out on the feeds only to be pulled shortly afterwards.
