400m from my house.

The whole of my area is sealed and closed off.

It's scary when you realise that you're not the one behind camera, you're the one in the view finder.

I was just coming home at the time, i missed it by like 20 minutes, caus I got the later train and thats the way I walk home, that exact street, the curry house I eat at it right there. Exactly where they got the forensic teams now. And the gun men are still in the local area on the run apparently. ohhhh its going to be an interesting weekend.

A friend of mine works in an office right where the bus blew up in Tavistock Square. He ran outside to help the wounded (he had been trained as a medic in the UK Army). He had a small kit of his own that he had in his desk at work, and when a policeman saw him run out towards the bus, he was stopped for a moment, and then the policeman told him to do what he could.
