7/7: The Miracle of Carriage 346 is the first of two documentary films commemorating the third anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings. Both films tell incredible, inspiring stories of survival and rescue: stories of people who emerged alive against all the odds, and those that risked their lives to save strangers.
The Miracle of Carriage 346 tells the story of the passengers who cheated death, turning the tragedy of 7/7 into a story of hope and survival. It features very moving accounts from those that were in the bombed carriage, many of whom have not spoken publicly since the aftermath of that fateful day.
In the morning rush-hour, a southbound train left King's Cross Tube station. A few moments later, a bomb detonated in one of the train's packed carriages. The confined space intensified the impact of the bomb blast right through its 51-foot-long aluminium shell. Just six feet away from the bomber was Gill Hicks. She gives an extraordinary account of staring death in the face. She lost three quarters of her blood, and her heart stopped beating twice, but she describes how she heard an inner voice encouraging her to fight for her life.
Susan Harrison, on her daily commute to work, was 10 feet from the bomber. A nurse who specialised in assisting surgery, she knew exactly how to save herself from certain death. Then she began to try to calm other injured passengers even though she was trapped on the floor in the twisted carriage.
The closest survivor of all to the bomber was George Roskilly (pictured). He was just three feet away from the explosion; a foot either side and he would have been killed, but the bodies in the packed carriage shielded him from the blast and he escaped with barely a scratch.
As usual, the media choose NOT to look at the facts of the event, but at tabloid-esque easy non-informative journalism.
For the sake of the people killed and maimed by the events of 7/7, it is imperative that you avail yourself of the orchestrated horror perpetrated by the UK Government ..dont take my word for it, watch the interview with Daniel Obachike, a survivor of the bus blast..watch link >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DZUqddEcJk ...Peter Power went on all TV networks with an admission of what had taken place, yet this was NEVER researched by the media.
No enquiry was allowed by Blair, the whole event was a false-flag operation and we need to take Blair/Brown to task and deal out justice for the murders they have dealt on our own people.

The music chosen by Gill for the entrance at her wedding was Handel’s 'Eternal Source of Light Divine'. This was written as a birthday ode for Queen Anne. Listen and enjoy.

I think that the music used was
Handel Eternal source of light, who was the soprano singing it? WAs it taken from a cd?
Thank you

Please send me the title of the music played at Gill's wedding.
Hardened and cynical I may be, but the progamme (and music) moved me deeply.

I have to send my admiration to Gill, Susan and all the other survivors of this terrible event. Their determination to live and courage to accept and move on with life in such a positive way shows just how strong the the human spirit can be.
Please could you let me know the title of the music Gill walked down the aisle to at her Wedding, it was very moving.
