It feels very strange typing this. A strange sense of dislocation and a kind of numbness. I was at school when we heard about the bombs, just as I was when the planes hit the World Trade Centre, but this felt different. It was eerily calm. The situation was slightly unusual in that only years 7-9 (11-13 yr olds) were there and I just don't think they understood the magnitude of the situation. I came home and watched the news, saw the places that I have known all my life, places that I visit with my friends and family and I guess something has changed. You begin to wonder, what if ... if the bombs had gone off a week before I would have been right in the heart of them, working on the Euston Road. It's just very sad.
