Blasts in London
I can't believe this. I was just about to blog about how London got the chance to host the Olympics 2012, and now, this piece of horrible news pops up. Yeah. Blasts in London; London of all places. 40 killed, 300 injured, and that's not the final confirmed number. F**k. And I don't normally say that.
The bombs were planted in the subway stations, and a packed double decker bus. 40 innocent people were killed. If you don't know the gravity of that statement, let me enlighten you. In June, 20 students, me included, were down at the UK for an educational visit. Out of those 13 days we went, we spent 4 days, 3 nights in London. We used the subway as a primary means of transport. I'm not trying to be dramatic. I'm saying that this could've happened to us, or anyone at all. Those 40 people were innocent victims. They could've been reeling from all the surprise at London having just won the bid to host the Olympics in 2012. They could've been looking forward to seeing it for themselves. What now?
