Haver Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/story/0,16132,1577406,00.html Martine Wright was one of the most seriously injured survivors of the July 7 suicide bombings - the last person to be pulled out of the carnage of the Aldgate tube. She was only feet away from the bomber; three people around her were killed outright. Now, speaking for the first time, she tells her story to the Guardian: the nightmare of the day, the appalling shock when she was told that she had lost both legs, the physical and mental struggle to rebuild her life and, unexpectedly, the fight for adequate compensation. Now, Ms Wright, a 32-year-old international marketing manager, may not be able to return to her job and faces bills of hundreds of thousands of pounds for adaptations to her home, specialist prosthetic legs and ongoing care. A moving, thought-provoking account, and one that I'd like you to read.
Blackfox Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Interesting read. I guess things like this put others into perspective i.e people complain when they have a cold, and here's this woman just trying to get on with life.
Raining_again Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Man thats awful...:'( i dont think id want to live after that! there was a black dude on Richard and Judy last week...he lost his leg just below his knee, and i thought that was awful too! but none of these people are filled with hate. they all just want to get on with their lives. its so humbling to think they've lost something so important but they just fight on!
