The agents were conspicuous, diligently adhereing to their tasks, proceeding busily, workman like. Apart from the obvious foot soldiers, (the blokes in blue) there were one or two more covert ones that stuck in my mind. Their cover was blown, not because of what they did, but because of what they didn’t do.........

The Angels And Agents Of Tavistock Square
 http://www.the4thbomb.com/

That morning many good human values immediately came to the fore, amidst evil in one of its purest forms.
I’d hurriedly left the death strewn by the blast in my wake but was befuddled by what I saw ahead of me.
I stopped, turned round and was even more dumbfounded by what I saw.
Strangely I found myself drawn back to the scene of the crime and meandering between the angels and agents in Tavistock Square headed back towards the bus.

The angels I refer to were the healthcare professionals and staff that were quickly on hand in such shocking circumstances, trying to do whatever they could despite initially being aghast at the dead pieces of human flesh and bodies littering the square.
The agents on the other hand were conspicuous by the way they diligently adhered to their assigned tasks, proceeding busily, workman like almost as if they’d already displayed their grief and horror prior to the explosion.
Apart from the obvious foot soldiers, (the blokes in blue) there were one or two more covert ones that stuck in my mind for differing reasons.
Their cover was blown, not because of what they did, but because of what they didn’t do.
Faced with such an unprecedented and horrendous event most reactions would come down to fight or flight.
After my own flight and initial rage at all things and persons Transport For London (Bus drivers in particular), I turned to comfort a shocked victim showered with blood who had been walking alongside the bus at the time of the explosion. Those few who did neither were notable.
They stood back, observing the events and activities in its entirety, positioned in the same spot.

The man with the hat was one such individual but his case is particularly intriguing when compared to the plain intelligence officers and foot soldiers I referred to.
I was going to make a point of highlighting him in my forthcoming novel: The 4th Bomb, but editorial considerations meant his 15 minutes is surplus to requirement.
My editor felt that whilst interesting the section on him ‘acted as a diversion’ to the storyline.
The irony is, a part of me thinks that is what he was doing there that morning.

I present compelling evidence that the smartly dressed man in grey was fully aware of what was about to take place and was prepared to be part of the aftermath but got caught out because the bus blew up just a couple of meters into Tavistock Square while he was positioned 60 meters away further down from the blast.
Images show the main force of the blast went backwards and one victim, a woman died because she crossed the road from the square behind the bus at the time of the explosion.
So how can anyone 60 meters ahead of the bus to be hurled aside or sustain any kind of physical injuries.
I knew his injuries were improvised, immediately putting 2 and 2 together when I saw his hat lying on the ground next to him.
He wore a large bandage around his head and had a tear along one trouser leg that went neatly along the seam.
The bandage 60 seconds after the blast.
This was way too fast, long before any medical assistance had arrived.

The blood on my own shirt is derived from a woman who was showered with the victim’s blood.
She had been walking beside the bus at the time.
The grey suited man had no blood on him at whatsoever indicating he was far from the bus.
Even the African traffic warden on the opposite side of the road who the driver called out to said he had a piece of human flesh on his arm.
We may never know his true purpose that day.
But what it does do is single him out as someone who had prior knowledge.
Who knew in advance? Only the perpetrators?

It's excellent to read a first-person account on here, so thank you for that. And it makes it difficult to argue with you about details, if you were there. But there does appear to be a rational explanation.

1) Why would someone be in the Tavistock square area with a bandage round their head?
Because it is close to a number of medical clinics, the headquarters of the BMA and so on.

2) Why would someone with a bandaged head wear a hat over it?
Because they were embarassed by it? People wear hats to hide scars, bad haircuts and all sorts of things.

3) Why would someone fall over when they were further than away than others from an explosion?
Because they were so shocked to see a bus explode. Or because they were less steady on their feet. Which might be likely if you had recently required medical attention for a head injury.

4) Why would someone's trousers split?
Because they fell over suddenly.


The incongruities which are seized on to make it seem like a conspiracy do seem utterly outweighed by the vast amount of evidence - and logic - that the event was pretty much what it seemed.

Real people were killed and injured (including the author of the article). If real people were to be killed and injured, why would any conspirator go to the risk of posting fake semi-injured people around the place? It seems utterly daft.

While not wanting to doubt the authors sincerity as an eye witness I think the previous poster has a point, Why would the secret services plant a fake injured passer by ? , I've a mate of a mate who was on the bus but has absolutley no memory of being on it, total memory loss for about 10 minutes, if witnesses hadn't placed her on it before being blown up and had lots of glass stuck in her head who knows what she would be thinking, memory plays weird tricks on us especially after trauma and stress, I think such an awful event means people analize events to try and make sense and often small things take on massive importance when it could be coincidence..regards
