London woke up to joy and celebration on 7 July 2005. The city had just won the 2012 Olympics. It was a glorious summer. There were parties in the streets. But, by 9am, everything had changed. Three explosions tore through the London Underground. Minutes later, a double-decker bus was ripped apart in Tavistock Square. Confusion reigned. Was it a power surge? A freak accident? Or something worse? In this opening episode of our new series on the 7/7 Bombings, David and Gordon return to the morning of the attacks as the UK’s deadliest terrorist assault unfolded in real time. Inside MI5, shock turned to dread. Who had done this? Were more attacks coming? And how could no one have seen it coming? This is the story of how a day of celebration turned into a national trauma. And how, in the middle of the chaos, Britain’s intelligence services discovered the threat wasn’t from outside... but from within. ------------------- To sign up to The Declassified Club, go to www.therestisclassified.com.
