"Lest we forget"

Spare a minute or two this morning to remember the men and women whose lives were ended by the murderous actions of four individuals three years ago today. Those that died are listed here but also think about those that survived however badly injured they were; at the time around 700 people were injured; some 350 were treated on the scene, and 350 in hospital. 100 required overnight hospitalisation or longer and 22 were seriously or critically injured (I believe a few may still be hospitalized but cannot confirm this). Many of these people will still bear scars both physical and mental, as will many who although not injured were on the trains or the bus that were bombed. I am sure that many Londoners still remember the pain of that day and the fear that pervaded London that week and beyond as they had to travel to work on a London transport system that now seemed dangerous as well as uncomfortable.

The BBC still have their tribute page available and it still hurts me to read about one of the people on that page.

I would imagine that Rachel of North London, a survivor of the 7/7 attacks may have a piece worth reading on her blog.
