Survivor Account Casts Doubt Upon Official 7/7 Story


What seems at first like just another eyewitness account by a survivor of the 7/7 London bombings actually calls into question the entire official story.

An article in the Cambridge Evening News describes how Bruce Lait--a dance teacher from Cambridge--and his dance partner Crystal Main, were sitting nearest to the bomb that exploded in a train near Aldgate East station at the time it went off. Lait recalls that the carriage he was in had about 20-25 people in it. He says, "I remember an Asian guy, there was a white guy with tracksuit trousers and a baseball cap, and there were two old ladies sitting opposite me." However, no description of any Arab with a rucksack.

What is most interesting is Lait's description of being helped out of the carriage after the blast. A police man pointed out to him where the bomb had been: "The policeman said 'mind that hole, that's where the bomb was'. The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train. They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag."

To summarize, then:

  • The metal was pushed upwards as if the bomb was underneath the train.
  • They seem to think the bomb was left in a bag, but I don't remember anybody being where the bomb was, or any bag.

Now, if Bruce Lait is being honest and his memory serves him correctly, then this account pretty much disproves the official theory about Arab suicide bombers. So what really happened?
