On July 7, 2005, a coordinated series of bombings targeted London's public transport during the morning rush hour. Three explosions occurred on the London Underground, and a fourth bomb detonated on a number 30 bus in Tavistock Square. The attacks resulted in 52 deaths and over 770 injuries, marking a tragic day for the city. George Psaradakis, the number 30 bus driver, remembers the initial joy of the Olympics announcement followed by horror as he survived the bus explosion. He recently returned to London to commemorate the victims on the 20th anniversary.
"After that, you know it became a macabre day, a gruesome day after the bombings. Many innocent people lost their lives in such a barbaric way."
"Every July it comes to my mind all those sad memories. But coming to England and participating in the memorial makes me happy to participate."
"I think we have to commemorate them. I have taken comfort from my faith and pray for those who died every day."
