7 July 2005

Today 4 years ago, suicide bombers struck the London Underground system and a London Transport bus. They took 52 innocent people with them to their deaths, and left 700 injured. Today in 2009, a memorial for those lost will be unveiled in Hyde Park, London.

7/7 ranks alongside 9/11 in the list of dates of infamy that will not be forgotten. Neither will those that were lost in either atrocity.

  2. Yes Jeannette did a post about this sad event too. I'm happy to hear that a memorial has been built in memory of the victims. Hopefully, this gesture will be of some comfort to their families and friends. Linda in Washington

  3. I agree. I hope the memorial brings comfort to the affected families. Shame on the race of cowards who perpetuate these horrible events.
