Met officer recalls terrifying moment she realised true horror of 7/7 attacks
Twenty years after the destructive attacks, the first intervention told about the creepy moment in which the July 7 bombs were realized.
Inspector Anna Bearman, a 23 -year -old police officer with a metropolitan police intervention team, was in office when suicide bombers hit three London underground train and a bus.
Initially, he and his three colleagues were informed of an incident that was believed to be a fire in King’s Cross.
However, Ms. Bearman recalls the feeling of stuck in Stomach because she realizes that the situation is much more ominous than it first reported.
He said: “It was a nice summer morning on July 7, and everyone was happy because we won an offer for the London Olympics the day before.
“We were in office and heard that there was a confusion in King’s Cross and maybe there was a fire, so we set out for the train station.
“As we were at the Euston station, we were asked to turn to the Russell Square and were told that there were wounded people who escaped from both stations.
“I remember that I was the moment I thought there was no fire and that there was something more ominous. This was the moment of compressing in stock.”
Ms. Bearman explained how the four officers in the car remained silent, because they told them it was a big event.
In arrival, many of them saw that dozens of people who suffered from injuries escaped from the Russell Square station.
He said: “The walk was wounded and there was a sense of hysteria and panic, but we couldn’t stop and talk to them because we had to enter the tunnel to help those who couldn’t go out.
“We walked about a mile on the runway, and then we took out a person who lost the lower extremity because there was no stretcher and removed them to the Russell Square.”
After removing a second wounded person and returning to the train for the third time, they were told that there were no more people to be saved, and they tended to find oxygen tanks for those injured in the field of makeshift triaj.
Bearman remembers: “From now on, the main task was to rule and confidence of the people of the people and to try to keep them calm at that moment.
“Later, I saw that my pants and legs were absolutely blood stained, and then the shock of the whole day appeared.
“It is really important to remember the 20 -year anniversary, the people who lost their lives, but also their families and loved ones.”
Dr. Derbyshire is a GP. Peter Holden was 50 years old when the bombings took place.
He was supposed to be in London on July 7, but he was invited to a meeting with a government minister at the BMA House in Tavistock Square as the Vice President of the BMA GP Committee.
A fourth device exploded on a bus directed after attacks on Aldgate, Edgware Road and Russell Square Tube stations.
Dr. Holden, who received great incident training and helps dozens of people a day, said, “I realized that the royal helicopter was really serious when he was blown up from the top for a significant time.
“And then I returned to the Church of Mary, who was the president of the committee, heard an explosion, and then everything went to the salmon pink.
“This was something that waved the floor. We were on three floors where the bomb on the bus went out and we looked out the window and there was a white smoke feather and the tree had gone.
“When there were on the lower floor, there were people who were brought to the foldable table tops used as a temporary stretcher for conferences.”
As an emergency care training, Dr Holden remembers to manage 15 doctors and to establish a temporary trian field.
Although he has to make difficult decisions surrounding who to prioritize now, he is proud of his team’s efforts in the crisis.
Dr Holden said: “There was a full range of people – there were Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and those who had no special beliefs.
“I think there were eight different nations from all over the world – medicine is really an international practice.
“But we had to leave the two people we define as P1 expectations, and those who were deep unconscious and not likely to help medical care, and you just need to leave it with another person.
“It was the hardest decision of my life and it still bothers me, because there is a humanity in providing care.
“It was a terrible day, but I was grateful for being there and I was able to help people.”
