...i know this will be one of many millions of posts here about london but it has had such an impact on me that i feel i should post about it. Luckily, i dont know anybody hurt by the bombing. i phoned around all my family i know that work in london and fortunatly no one was involved. But for some reason that didnt make me feel better. i was so overcome with what had happend that all i could think about was all the people,the innocent everyday people that had died or been critically injured by the attack. They were just going about their daily business, not expecting anything. Why did it have to happen to them? Why did it happen at all. I was at school in the dance office making costumes for our school production. everything was fine i was chatting to friends and feeling pleased with the work i had done that morning and listening to the radio. And in about 3 seconds all that faded and all i could think about was what had happend, i was horrified and shocked and i know im going to sound over the top but i could feel my eyes welling up. Everyone was talking about it and phoning their families. I just sat in the chair trying to get a hold of the situation. I don't have an opinion as to who was responsible for it. I dont know. I dont know if it was Al Quaeda. I cant make a decision. i just dont know why i feel so shocked.I mean 9/11 was truly shocking and i was stunned when i heard the news but somehow this has had more effect on my mood. Just thought i would say a little something. Feel Free to add your Storys etc. **~Ellie~**

I just wanted to poke my head in here and say I'm sorry to any of you who have suffered losses and my heart goes out to your entire country. Peace be with all of you.
hey ellie. it had a huge impect on me too, which is a bit strange cause i live in iceland and don't really know a lot of people in the uk personally. But I was just sitting infront of the telly absolutely stunned.. I just don't get why people have to punish innocent people for their own differences... The tv stations here have been airing live from BBC all day and me and my family were watching and we were all like "god.. i can't believe this is happening" My heart goes out to you and all the people in the uk. And i'm so sorry if any of you have suffered the loss of your loved ones.. Peace to you all Sara
We shoud have a hip forums role call to see thatr youre all okay... I'd be devastated if something happened to even just one of us
I'm a Londoner & these kind messages of support are appreciated by all Londoners. There has been a shocking 50+ death toll & hundreds injured. These were just ordinary people setting off to work on trains & buses like any other week-day. Sickening isn't a strong enough word.
