J) The 7/7 attacks on London? - Got up in the morning, came downstairs and my dad (who thanks to being ill that day did not go into london, and did not get on one of the trains that was bombed) told me something had happened.
I remember sitting on the sofa arm for hours watching the scenes unfold. Strangly enough, i was watching a documentary with a friend of mind who is a paramedic in london, and he was naming half the paramedics in all the stills, and explaining what happened to loads of the injured. It was comforting to know that all the images that stick in my mind are of people who survived.
