Well, I am the only survivor who has experience of the bomb sites namely the underground tube train of Kings Cross/Russell Square and the London bus that blew up while I was on the mobile pone to my colleague as we worked in Tavistick Square at Lynton House. The entrance to the building was used as a triage area. I had just cine topside from the train, although injured and in pain, I managed to call my colleague ,who was heading to the same meeting I was to attend when I heard the bomb go off in the backgound / I asked him with a few profanities what the hell that was, when he screamed, as he was covered in glass and various pieces of bodily debris, items of clothing, piece of what remained of glasses, of sunglasses or perscription glasses from the explosion. I am still recovering, all these years later . Now in 2010, it is our 5th anniversary . I have just suffered a seizure on a flight which was diverted to the neurorology department on the 8th floor of the Abbott Northwest Hospital in Minneapolis USA. Doctors and staff have treated me extremely well. Our insurance through Euroassist (Toronto based) repatriated me today, I returned to the UK via Gatwick airport, assisted all the way. I am putting my underwear set (washed and cleaned), my suit and top as well as a few items I had in my possession on the underground up for sale to cover furter medical costs. I am also happy to give talks about my experience to raise money for further medical work needed.
