7/7 - Where Were You?

[Alexiandra]

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the 7 July, 2005 bombings against London's public transport system. The attacks killed 52 innocent people, wounded many more, and irrevocably changed the lives of thousands across this tiny island we call home.

So, NSG, by way of remembrance, I ask you this - where were you when news of the attacks broke?

[Egoman]

Probably in America or at home for summer vacation from elementary school.

[Alyakia]

I was in primary school.

I can't believe terrorism is still a thing in our country in my lifetime, especially after the peace talks in Northern Ireland.
But at the same time, it's over-reported and of course we are to blame for Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan's losses.

Hint: it wasn't the IRA that bombed the Underground.

[Calimera II]

In Buenos Aires, with my father desperately searching for BBC.. But we could only find CNN.

[Hydesland]

I was in secondary school, Year 11 I think. I remember it very well, the English teacher announced it to the class and managed to find some terrible old tv to plug in so we could watch it on the news with awful reception.

I meant terrorism in general you cunt.
Before Islamic terrorism, the IRA essentially were the biggest threat to national security on the grounds of terrorism.

Hmmm...

well I've never even heard of this before...

I think I was on holiday somewhere since it's summer.

[Dumb Ideologies]

I was on work experience at the time and too tied up with myself to really understand the details until much later.

[Tagmatium]

I was supposed to go to London that day for a field trip of some breed for a college class.

I sacked it off and stayed home instead.

My friends were merely caught in traffic that was a result of the attacks.

[Italios]

I was actually living in London at this time, I remember it, all over the news. Luckily I was at (probably) at home at the time.

[Anollasia]

i honestly have no idea

This. I wasn't even aware of this.

EDIT: I was in Canada. I can't get any more detailed than that.

[The Orson Empire]

I was probably on summer vacation from school, but I was too young to remember.

[Cetacea]

7/7 OMG this could spark a new trend for Where Were You threads on NSG

7/7
Where Were You when Israel launched a "counter-terrorist operation" dubbed Operation Protective Edge against Hamas in Gaza

Where Were You when The Solar Challenger, successfully completes a 163 mile flight across the English Channel

Where Were You when"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2" premiered in London

[DesAnges]

Eating a picnic in Bayeux.

Was surreal, my coach got searched by some form of French police, and that was the first time I saw a gun. It was a weird day.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

Living out here still, discussing it on the forums, pretty sure. Though not this set. Man, time passes kind of quick sometimes it seems.

Condolences to those affected directly by the attacks. One hopes that measures put in place since will help avoid these sorts of things from being repeated.

Well the UK hasn't been on the receiving end of a large scale terrorist attack since so you'd imagine so.

Freaking out trying to get an interview for my first teaching position.
