July 7: Six voices from the inquests

On the morning of July 7 2005 four bombs exploded in London, causing the single worst terrorist atrocity on British soil.

Three bombs exploded on the London Underground, and a fourth blast ripped through a bus packed with people on their way to work.

A total of 52 people were killed across London in an event that still shakes the survivors and the families of those who died.

After a lengthy fight, an inquest into the deaths of those killed finally began in 2010. Seventy-three days later the inquest heard its final evidence.

Channel 4 News interviewed six people whose lives were individually affected by the London bombings, and who all gave evidence at the subsequent inquest.
