Finepics Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 I would just like to pay a small tribute to my friend and colleague who was killed this day a year ago on the Russell Street tube bombing. This was a big shock for Londoners, despite being very used to terrorist activity over the years, this reached out more than most things. I never expected on that dreadful morning that my colleague, Michaela Otto, would be sitting right next to bomber Germaine Lindsay on that Picadilly line train when he blew himself up and that I would never see her again. Rest in peace Michaela - you are not forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasng Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 The world mourns with you Mark...... There is no words to express my utter indignation at this incident, and all that died will never be forgotten by us. My uncle who normally takes the No. 30 from his home to go to work in the borough of Hackney, just missed his bus because his shaver cut his face that morning and he was a very lucky man. I still have nasty thoughts every now and then of what would have happpened if the shaver didn't cut his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarks Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 My deepest condolences. I was supposed to be in London 2 days before the attack for a self guided tour round the city for a week. Due to a sudden change of events, I had to fly back home. When I heard the news, I was shocked, appalled. I just could not believe what I have seen on the television, the things I have read on the papers. Those who lost their lives during the unfateful day will not be forgotten. Once again, my deepest condolences to Michaela Otto and those whose lives were abruptly taken away by the cowardly act of the so-called terrorists.

jonthebhoy Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have two cousins who work on London Underground and I am glad to say they both avoided the trouble but my heart goes out to all who have been affected. JTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Terrible business - like so many I had good reasons to count my blessings when I could finally get calls through to mobile phones.... Anyway - the BBC has put up an excellent page about those who were less fortunate: BBC London blast victims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
