The Silence that we ignored.

Britain falls silent for the London bombings for 2 minutes on Friday.

In case you forgot :

“Fifty-two people died when four British Muslim suicide bombers, with explosives packed into rucksacks, blew themselves up inside three packed London underground trains and a double-decker bus on July 7, 2005.

It was the worst-ever terrorist attack on British soil, as well as Europe's first experience with a suicide bombing. “ Quote – CNA.

My sympathy goes out to the victims and their family, of course.

But on the same note. Do you remember any other terrorist attack, besides the obvious 911 incident ? Did anyone bothered to keep silence for the 2002 Bali attack, or the one in Madrid 2005, or those in less developed countries where there were much more victims ?

Check out Wikipedia’s List of Terrorist Incidents. Not trying to be cynical here but maybe you would have to keep silence for most part of your life after reading it.
