I was on holiday, in a caravan in Bournmouth, just watching the TV when the news came on.

I think its also down to the fact that really, 7/7 didn't affect day to day life in the UK, whereas 9/11 affected day to day life in the whole world.

That's true...

[Jessica.]

It wasn't really publicised here much at all, so I have never really thought about it much.

Just remember walking down the school corridor when someone said "apparently a bomb went off in London today" or something like that, didn't really grasp the seriousness of it then and was just blaming the French for doing it because we'd been given the Olympics over them the day before

I was in primary school and the R.E teacher came into our class crying and made us all do a a prayer [img]http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/public/style_emoticons/default/***********[/img]

I remember being 8/9 and my class being told by our teacher.

Somebody in the other class lost their uncle due to the bombing. It's such a shame because they used to live in my street and they were a really nice family.

[Me. I Am Salman]

My mum knew one of the victim's mum through a mutual friend I think, although not very much

[CaudleHalbard]

I was in hospital in London and many of the nurses and doctors went to help.

I was 7 at the tine, and I remember getting to leave school early and going round to my nans house and just watching it on the TV. I was really shocked and worried, because my aunt was living in London at the time.

[Livia]

My husband - not my husband at the time - was serving in Iraq and called me to make sure I was okay. It was the first I'd heard about it. It seemed strange, him worrying about me.

[Natalie.]

Before I went to school I saw something on the news about some problems in London. I was on half a day so when I came back was watching the news, really shocked. I was 14 at the time

I don't remember 9/11 really

[BigSister]

7/7 i was in majorca and it was on tv there the engliish speaking channels i mean and I was kinda worried then I found out someone on my grans street their wife had died on the bus bombing
9/11 I wasnt really sure as I was only nearly 14 at the time but was more worried about my gran and aunty as they were going to florida that day. They had to land in canada.

greg maybe your thinking about the attempted bombings 2 weeks later the same thing 3 tubes and a bus but nobody was killed there

Yeah I think that's what I was getting confused with!

[seanraff07]

I was actually down in Matlock near Derbyshire for a week's holiday with my family. Was a bit young to really remember my proper reaction

[King Gizzard]

Same as some of you I can't really remember that much about it or where I was etc.

Must have been away from news channels/news outlets on holiday or something..

I don't think the news grasped what had actually exactly happened at first looking back did it? Whereas with 9/11 it was pretty evident straight away what had happened

Yeah I remember reading an evening paper on the day to see if they had anything about it but they reported it then just as a minor explosion on the underground because of a technical problem or something like that, though that must have gone to print pretty soon after it happened

[Saph]

I was in class in Year 5 and we watched it on the news

I didnt really understand it though

[Samm]

I can't remember I think I was at school and when I got back home it was strange because my mom and dad were both sitting down watching the TV and they didn't speak to me till I got in the room, then they told me

I can't remember that much tbh

[Saph]

I had just started Year 2 when 9/11 happened

[Munchkins]

At Primary school, and then we got called into assembly

[AnnieK]

I was in work and one of our temps rang to say she wasn't going in as she was watching the news! I thought it was a pretty lame reason for not going in to work and told her that but she had family in Central London so told me about the bombings then...

[Redway]

Must've just started secondary at the time or something but I do remember it being rather horrific.
