Bank of England Cuts Interest Rates to Combat Weak Economic Growth

In a new BBC Two documentary series, survivor Sudhesh Dahad recounted his terrifying experience during the July 7, 2005 bombings in London, which claimed the lives of 52 people and injured over 770 others. Dahad was on a packed Piccadilly Line train when a bomb detonated, describing the moment as feeling incredibly surreal. “My first thought was that I must be in a nightmare,” he recalled.
As chaos ensued, Dahad initially struggled to comprehend his surroundings, assuming he might be dreaming. He expressed his fear of further attacks, fearing the possibility of a chemical weapon following the explosion. Smoke infiltrated the train, leading many passengers to lower themselves to the ground, convinced it could protect them from potential toxins.
The documentary, titled "7/7: The London Bombings," features several survivors sharing their stories of that tragic day, when simultaneous bomb blasts targeted three Tube trains and a bus across London. The series is set to air starting January 5.
