Louise Barry is one of those astonishing people who seem like they're guided through a tragedy by a guardian angel. Its almost like the Hand Of God guided her not through one but through two terrorist attacks to the shores of safety. What are the odds of that? Its miraculous.

So much for the notion that the bombs detonated simultaneously - or were they only referring to the tube bombs?

I had seen another story that someone being evacuated from the station had only reached the top of the stairs when she witnessed the bus explode, and yet...

“I was quite calm and relaxed, reading the paper, and the next thing everything went green and there was a sort of ‘woaow’ sound,” she said.

Calm and relaxed after being pulled off a bombed train? Well, at that point I guess they were trying to peddle the idea that it was an electrical system explosion, not a suicide bomber.

Kinda of the opposite of the guy at the Pentagon who was listed as killed because his office was destroyed by the plane that hit it on 9-11, then taken off the list because it turns out he was out of town that week.

Of course when they looked at the list of folks on the plane that that destroyed his office while he wasn't there ... sure enough, he was on it.

The wife, son and daughter of Giles Hart, 55, a BT engineer from Hornchurch, Essex, who was killed in the bus blast, released a statement saying he had tried to make the world a “fairer, greener place to live in”....

They added: “Giles was always a champion of liberty and human rights and a campaigner against political injustice and bigotry. It is tragic that he fell victim to the very evil against which he had struggled.”

Implied by the wife her husband/victim was an Islamo-supporter?

Even though I have been an engineer most of my life I have never understood statistics or odds that well.
For instance, why is it that in a class of 50 students there almost always is at least one duplicate birthday?

Similarly, if Ms Barry was evacuated from one exploded train and got onto a bus that also later exploded, why do we assume that she was the only one from that train who took the same bus?

In other words, there might be other untold stories that did not end so fortunately.
