Safe as Houses
Oct 1st, 2009 by oldfogey
For some unaccountable reason, travelling into London today on the Tube, the memory flickered across my mind of 7/7, four years ago, when I was on the Edgware Road train blown up by home-grown Muslim terrorists. My memories are of darkness, confusion and silence - and, out of the silence, the strange animal sounds of human distress. I didn’t know what was happening. I emerged dirty and bewildered, stumbling across confused and bloodied passengers, to make may way out into the daylight. It was only some hours later I fully understood what had happened. Here is a fuller account of my experience that day.
Anyway it gives me an excuse to play this heartfelt song, written and sung by Eddi Reader. She is waiting for news of friends who, like me, were caught up in it.
