The brother of a woman killed on 7/7 says that he cannot forgive those people after two decades after the bomb attacks.
But 7 July 2005The 29-year-old Laura web was on his way to work in Central London when he was killed-one of the 52 people who were killed in a coordinated attacks in the city that day.
More than 700 people were also injured, as suicidal attackers exploded three tube trains and a bus.
Talking to BBC News before the 20th anniversary of the attacks, Laura’s elder brother, Rob Webb said that 7/7 was “an attack on all of us” and something that should never be forgotten.
“I am angry,” Rob said, who lives in Pench with Cardiff.
“Laura was denied a life opportunity that I and my brother have been lucky – someone decided to take him away from him.
“The pain never goes away – I think of him every day.”
Rob said that he still remembered that the day Laura died, the day had started like someone else, but became “an extraordinary day for all wrong reasons”.
At about 08:50 BST, three deadly explosions went underground.
Mohammad Sadiq Khan exploded his device in a tube train near Edgware Road, Shehzad Tavenier in Aldgate and German Lindsay in Russell Square.
They were earlier suicide attacks on Britain’s soil, but it would not be clear until then So much later.
The chaos and confusion of the early moments misrepresented the explosions that the officials reported as power growth and the transport system went into the gridlock.
At a time without breaking the news alert, Dr. Andrew Deerden, then a GP in Cardiff, was completely unaware of what he was happening because he attended a meeting at the British Medical Association (BMA) headquarters in Tavistock Square, London.
But at 09:50, a fourth bomb was exploded by Hasib Hussain – this time in a bus – Dr. outside the building. Deerden was sitting.
The big voice was something that Dr. Deerden said that he could never forget, but he did not know that he would face him as he ran out of the building.
“As I came down the stairs, I looked at about 50 yards (45 m) on my right side and looked at the bus,” he said.
“The bus looked as if someone had actually stepped on it – it was crushed down and the roof was almost gone.”
“I ran across the road, and as I was running, I focused on the spread of debris, how far it went away from the bus,” Dr. Dadon said.
“And then I saw a woman’s purse and then I saw a disintegrated organ, at some distance from the bus, and it was when I realized that it was not a normal phenomenon.”
Dr. Deerden recalled the lack of sound at that time.
“You would expect a sound of terror, fear, anxiety, yet they didn’t seem there,” he said.
Dr. A group of doctors, including Deerden, began to assess the injured and stabilize the patients.
At one point, he recalled concerns that there could be another bomb in the area, but he said “no one has moved” and the work continued.
‘Six months of A&E in three hours’
Dr. Deerden said that treating the injured at the scene was like seeing “six months of A&E” – even heavy for the most experienced of Medics.
“It was a partially number of people involved, it was the degree of injuries we were working with, but also recognizing that some people were injured to the extent that we would not be able to help them, even though we keep them in the high -tech A&E department.”
By 10:21, the Metropolitan police confirmed “several blasts”.
Rob was trying hard to contact his sister Laura, which was a PA located in Padington, but never responded.
He traveled to London with family and friends to start a frantic discovery.
“One of you part is trying to remain optimistic, your part is really trying to be practical and reflect a part of you – why is this hell happening to us?” Rob remembered.
“But always was hope and for the first few days I don’t think it was unrealistic – 20 years ago, things were very different.”
It would be a whole week before they confirmed that Laura was killed that morning.
Laura was one of the six people who were killed on the adgware road, in Aldgate with seven, 26 in Russell Square and 13 in Tavistock Square.
770 people were injured, many ways of life.
“It was an attack on all of us – even though you were not directly involved, it was as much attack on you as we were,” Rob said, who said that he struggled to forgive despite his Christian upbringing.
“We are called to forgive and I am not able to forgive, not only the man who killed my sister, but killed any other bomb.”
There will be a plan to live in London with his family in St. Paul Cathedral and Rob to mark the 20th anniversary of 7/7.
“This was in many cases, long ago, but in other ways, it was not long ago and we are still as a society to deal with that particular strand of terrorism,” he said.
“It is important to understand what happens and human costs – how we react as a society and, how we expect as a society that can be more alert in the future and prevent this kind of this kind of thing.”
Dr. Deerden has now retired as a GP, but he said that he still remembers people from the day – the people who treated and who went up and beyond to help.
“There were many people who put themselves at risk,” he said, emotional, he remembered the efforts of his BMA colleagues and emergency workers.
“It is important that we remember the good and what people did in response – that day was very good that happened the day that could be lost if we only remember the bad.”
