George Soradkis was happily thinking about the successful bid of the city to host the 2012 Olympics through his bus route in Central London in the summer morning.
He could also hear his passengers while talking about it, which contributes to a normal air of optimism on number 30 service.
Within a few minutes, 13 of those passengers will die.
Sri Saradakis turned into a tavistock square, and the bus was separated from a bomb.
Now 70, Greek -born London, who was uninhabited in the explosion, remembers “Makabre Day, a fierce day”.
“Many innocent people lost their lives in such a barbaric way.”
On 7 July 2005, a range of bombs on London’s public transport system was exploded during the morning crowd time, killing 52 people and injuring over 770.
Three explosions occurred in the London underground in the surrounding area of ​​Aldgate, Edgware Road and Russell Square Stations.
Interruption gave birth to people who usually used to carry a bus of number 30 from the tube, which was again rooted through the Tavistock Square.
The vehicle was so crowded that Mr. Saradakis opened the doors and suggested that passengers who should not go far should descend and walk.
The fourth device bus exploded at 09:47 BST.
Thirteen people were killed and more than 100 injured in that bombing.
Mr. Psaradakis survived physically explosion, but has taken a toll to see such terror.
He has recently left London and has retired in Cyprus, but has returned to the city on the 20th anniversary of the bomb blasts, so that he died.
He says that it is important to remember London.
“Every July it comes to my mind, all those sad memories.
“But I am happy to participate in England and participate in the memorial.
“I think we have to remember them.”
The message of Mr. Psaradakis for London is one of the harmony and has to remember the acts of valor and kindness.
“We should not use hatred to do things like these bombing. We should not do so.
“What the terrorists have achieved? When the terrorist went into my bus, he condemned himself.
“He shook himself and killed all those innocent fellow humans by committing that inhuman crime.
“Instead of hating each other, we should love each other. It was inhuman.
“But there was a lot of humanity at the same time.”
‘Their souls are alive’
Sri Saradakis has taken rest from his Christian conservative belief, and pray every day for those who die.
“London, we have to remember them, come to Hyde Park and Tavistock Square.
“We should remember all the innocent people who lost their lives,” he said.
“Their souls – they are alive. For me, I believe they are in the arms of God in heaven.”
