I was at work trying to find out how my area manager and head office staff were as they were based in Tavistock Square, during the afternoon I had a call from the area manager and he had been in the directors office when the bus exploded and they had rushed to look out of the window and could see right into the top of the bus. some of the staff were hurt and kept in the building waiting for ambulances but they couldn;t get help. some of the staff never returned to that building and the firm relocated out of the city after that.
I was in a holiday cottage in Scotland, watched it on the little TV there. We felt very far away and didn't look forward to flying back.
