A police officer recounts his experience responding to the July 7 bombings in London, initially believing it was a false alarm. Upon arrival, he discovered a devastated bus with severe injuries to victims. He quickly cordoned off the area and began searching for secondary explosives. Later, he was called to a train station where survivors emerged from a bombed underground train. Reflecting on the event, he acknowledges the lasting impact of the 7/7 bombings on those who witnessed or responded to the tragedy.
"I was in my van thinking I would cut across Tavistock Square and that's when I saw the bus, the roof had been blown off..."
"Clearly some people had some really severe injuries. I had to deal with what was in front of me. Doing nothing is never an option for a police officer."
