Seven Stories for a Tragic Anniversary
July 14, 2008
On the morning of July 7th, 2005, explosions in three trains and one bus in London wounded hundreds and killed 52, including the terrorists responsible. In "Seven Stories 7/7: Three Years On," Emily Dugan at the Independent lets seven survivors share stories and reflections on both the tragic day and the three intervening years. The diverse first-person accounts — which include witnesses, injured, and even a grieving uncle of one of the bombers — are tied together by pathos and loss, but also by steps forward; into stages of grief, counseling and artistic expression, in a fine example of reporting on a tragic anniversary.
