On the morning of July 7th, 2005, London awoke to what many assumed would be a regular Thursday. But as rush hour gripped the capital, four coordinated explosions tore through the heart of the city's public transport network. Three bombs detonated almost simultaneously on packed London Underground trains, followed shortly after by a fourth on a red double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. The result was catastrophic. 52 innocent lives lost, over 700 injured, and an entire nation left shaken to its core.
In this sobering episode, Tom, Ben & Dan delve into the horrifying events of that day: examining the attackers' backgrounds, how MI5 came terrifyingly close to intercepting the plot, and the immense human cost of homegrown extremism. From tales of heroic survivors to the lasting legacy of Britain's worst-ever terrorist attack, this is a story of chaos, courage, and a city that refused to be broken.
This episode contains distressing themes, but it's a story that must be told.
