7.7: One Day In London Page #5

and I thought, "What's that?"

And then I looked up

and it was my new trainer,

that, I'd only worn them

that morning,

and I know this sounds

so, uh, not shallow, but...

It was my new, sort of, Adidas,

shell-toe trainers, white.

You know, it was mid-summer,

wasn't it,

I'd just worn them

for the first time that morning.

And I could see it on

the top of this, the metal,

and, with, like, blood all over it,

and I just thought,

"That's my trainer,

"what's that doing up there?"

You know, um, again, not

really realising that, you know...

I know now what extent my injuries

were, you know.

But not realising that actually,

my leg was up there,

it was still attached to my leg.

People were screaming out

that they can't feel their legs,

they can't feel their arms, do you

know what I mean, they were in pain.

It was so much...

It was just chaos down there,

it was just madness.

There was limbs,

you could see parts of peoples arms.

Oh.

Some people scared me

cos they just looked so scary,

I just felt that I couldn't even

reach out to them

and ask them if they were all right.

And that hurts me, because I felt...

Because I knew I needed help,

and I just felt like

I couldn't help them.

Sometimes you can't even find

the words to describe

what went on down there.

Everything was just black and white,

and the only thing that was in...

Oh, it was like a horror movie,

the only thing that

was in colour was the blood.

It was just horrible.

Just really horrible.

I didn't check myself over because

I knew I hadn't been injured,

seriously injured, I hadn't been hit

by anything or struck by anything.

But James, the chap that was

sitting opposite me, he stood up,

and was getting very agitated,

I think he was very concerned.

Well, I thought I was going to die,

and I was upset because

I wanted to go to college still.

Cos I was expected to

go to college, still.

And I was just worried and nervous

and anxious,

and not very happy.

He mentioned to us

that he was autistic

and needed to get to his father,

I think it was,

and just, you know,

wanted his father.

So, we just had to keep

reassuring him that we would be OK,

and we would get out.

Come on, Bibi, come on, Sally,

you coming?

This is Sally,

she's named after Lee and Sam.

And we had her in the October

after it happened,

so, she's named after Sam and Lee.

So, Sally.

They had been together for 14 years,

they would have still

been together now.

Move all these, these are my

next things to put into my files.

Yeah, yeah, so...

As you can see,

I am a terrible hoarder.

Loads and loads of bits and pieces.

And... I don't know what else

I've got in here.
