I feel it pertinent to mention, while the inquest into the 7/7 attacks is taking place and while there is much criticism in the media about the role of the Emergency Services on that fateful day that:
While the innocent victims of that day where running away from those tragic events there was a group of people running towards it all. These people are normal people, people not born with special bravery genes but ordinary people doing an extraordinary job. Where the victims of that day never had a choice but to be brave and try to survive, the people heading towards the danger had a choice whether to go and risk their lives or not go. Every one of these people made the choice to go and try and make order out of chaos and life out of death and to bring help and support to colleagues and victims.
These people where the brave men and women of the London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade, Metropolitan Police Service, British Transport Police, City of London Police, London Underground, British Red Cross Society, St John Ambulance, Salvation Army & the numerous County Ambulance Services that help with our regular calls.
To all you Men & Women, I salute you as does the rest of the world.
