Today is the tenth anniversary of the Docklands bombing - two people died and hundreds were injured.

I am writing this blog after a life-changing experience. On July 7th 2005, I boarded a London Underground train from Kings Cross travelling on the Piccadilly Line at around 8:50am. This train never made it's destination as a suicide bomber was in the same carriage as myself and countless others. His bomb was detonated and killed 26 innocent people as well as injuring countless more on the Piccadilly Line train. Other explosions occurred at Edgware Road, Aldgate, and on a bus at Tavistock Square. In total 52 people died and over 700 were injured - including myself (the back of my lower left leg was blown off and I lost a large portion of my calf muscle - however the surgeons did such a fantastic job to save my lower leg). I am well on the road to recovery and have started blogging in 2006 as it is one of many things I thought about doing, but kind of left it to one side. No more.

A guy I live with was working in East London when that happened and was shocked by the force of the blast.
I wonder how many people will be blogging about what happened to us in 2015?
