The 7 July 2005 London bombings were a series of coordinated terrorist bomb blasts that hit London's public transport system during the morning rush hour.
At 8:50 a.m., three bombs exploded within fifty seconds of each other on three London Underground trains. A fourth bomb exploded on a bus nearly an hour later at 9:47 a.m. in Tavistock Square.
The bombings killed 52 commuters and the four suicide bombers, injured nearly 800, and caused a severe day-long disruption of the city's transport and mobile telecommunications infrastructure. Did you enjoy this article? Please share it!           |
