Hi all.

Just checking in. I was already at work when the bombs went off. We were in lock down from about 11am and our phones and internet connections became jammed. I work at St.Thomas' hospital and it wasn't until about 4.30pm that we were 'stood down' from alert. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to get to go home......

Given where and when the explosions happened, I'm stunned the fatalities weren't higher. The general atmosphere of people not only around the hospital but also on the way home was amazingly calm. No one argued or whined when they had to walk another half a mile to get to the next point of transport, no one pushed or shoved. Everyone seemed to be looking out for one another. I can't get over how quiet it seemed to be.

Thanks to all for your kind thoughts, I too can only express my sympathy towards those who have been directly affected by this horror. My heart goes out to those who will never be able to look at public transport the same way again.

Lady P.
