  • Station in London that day. Walking the streets of Paris for the remainder of = the day one could not help but notice that elements of the French military had been mobilized and were patrolling the streets alongside the police. When | arrived at Paris-Nord station there was a large police presence and noticeably more security. The announcement over the loud speaker said, ...it is highly recommended that you do not travel unless you must. The next day | set out on my journey back to the Albany Hotel, my residence during my internship. Since all the public transportation was down in that area, | walked the two miles. As | neared the site of the attack, there was an eerie silence in the area. Normally there were cars and buses and hundreds if not thousands of people roaming the streets, but on that day there were no traffic, no buses, and no people. The Metropolitan Police had a three block area cordoned off with limited access to the residents in the area. At first | was not allowed in, but after some name dropping and a talk with the Commanding Officer on the scene | was allowed to enter. As | approached the site of the number 30 bus blast, | recognized one of the officers. Tony, who | met during one of my many excursions with the Met, recognized me immediately and we began to chat about the events of July 7". After about five minutes, he asked if | wanted to see the wreckage, which | graciously took up his offer. The street itself had a massive scaffolding structure in front of it to seal off the street so no passers-by could look down Tavistock Square. As we entered, | could not help but notice the white sheets that remained on and around the bus. He explained that the bodies of some of the victims still remained because the Anti-Terror branch was still investigating and they did not know if one of the bodies belonged to the bomber himself. The carnage present was inexplicable. Pieces of bus, metal, and body parts were strewn everywhere. How anyone survived is beyond me. After spending a few minutes at the scene, | decided it was time to leave. | thanked him for his generosity and made my way to the hotel to collect the last of my things. | briefly spoke with the owner, Fernandez, about the attack and listened to his rendition. He described the loud bang and the panic that ensued. On my way out, | began seeing the missing person pictures like we all saw on the news after September 11", Many were hung on trees and lamp posts; some were even on news vans. There was a make shift memorial just outside of the containment zone near the Russell Square tube station. As | made my way back, news vendors were handing out free papers with pictures of the missing. It was surreal knowing that the sheets | had just seen more than likely covered one if not more of those faces that were staring back at me on the front of the paper. Once | left the Russell Square area, life seemed to be getting back to normal. As | entered Trafalgar Square, life was as normal as could be. Tourists were taking pictures, buses were back on schedule, and people were ever present. The people of London have been dealing with the IRA (Irish Republican Army) so long that this attack was just another notch in the belt. Although this attack was more heinous than the IRA attacks, Londoners were back to business WCnewsmagazine as usual, proving to Al-Qaeda that they would not let this affect their daily routine. They stood together united, just as Americans did | after September 11". Though the terrorists sent a strong message #= to the people of London, the country sent a | stronger one by showing that their spirit will neve be broken. I left London on July 10", two weeks | before | was scheduled to depart. Due to the attacks, the British Studies | Program was | cancelled. | was ue il rather disappointed that | was not going to be able to experience the fun and exciting things that were planned. | was looking forward to hanging out with friends at pubs and seeing all the behind the scenes things that only we were Ba: allowed to see. There was still so much that | wanted to do and see, but | guess | 21 | will just have to wait until next time. | understand the position the instructors / were in. A snap decision had to be made, and | believe the right decision was _ made. Professor Dougherty had always said that the trip depended on world events and terrorist actions; we just happened to be the class that experienced i that first hand. As word of the attacks on the transportation network spread, many | other nations stepped up their security at train stations and subway systems. Madrid, a city that is no stranger to transportation attacks, immediately posted armed guards around their underground network. In the U.S., our terror threat level rose to Orange for the transit system and military personnel were posted at major transport hubs like Grand Central Station in New York City (strategypage). In France, parts of the military were mobilized for added security. Security was also heightened at the Gleneagles complex in Scotland where the G8 summit was taking place when the bombings rocked London. Another bomb attempt was somewhat foiled on July 21st when four bombs were found on the underground system again, one on a bus. The bombs did not detonate, so it is not clear if it was a valid attempt or a copycat attack. Anti-terrorist officers arrested nine men in dawn raids Thursday in connection with the botched July 21* attacks on London's transit system, bringing the number of people police have in custody to 20, including one of the alleged bombers (instapundit). Most of these suspects are being held at the Paddington Green Police Station in the terrorist cells, which are specifically designed for holding terrorists. Photos: Tim Wagy
