My nephew was one of the police who went into the underground to search for more bombs and help people. He was traumatised very badly. He ended up leaving the police and his marriage ended. He is over it now but he needed a lot of therapy. Glad these two met up. An awful day for London.
@Cian MacGana Ah bless. It’s a bank holiday Sunday & the most you can do with your life is sit on RUclips leaving toxic, childish comments lol. Bless kid. Difficult making friends when you have such an ugly personality eh? It’s alright, you’ve always got your precious Drake to listen to. Off you pop ;)

Btw, what exactly are you doing to help anybody? Are you in the police, the army, the NHS, a teacher, anyone who goes out of their way to make life better for or to protect others? I doubt it. You're far too selfish & immature.
His relief at hearing her story is so palpable. His face changes - it totally relaxes. I think whether or not she's *actually* the one who held his hand or not, just hearing her story has eased his mind. Amazing.

Exactly, the mind blanks out in a state of panic and all that is there is the instinct for survival. The minute they were given the opportunity to get off the train, pretty much everyone will have been thinking about only that. That’s probably why this woman, or whoever the lady is most likely didn’t even notice. He said it was pitch dark, there may have been a lot of stumbling around.
They were there for one another. You never know if those around them heard them talk and received courage from their conversation. Two good people in the dark.
For you, sir, to struggle about that "selfish" act of getting ahead of her is enough to show us that you are one good person, to feel remorseful being ungrateful after all these years, and in those circumstances, so I hope you forgive yourself now.

@@SoraCyn 😁😁, I do, thank you. I just feel for him as I myself have lots of regrets in my life as well. As we grow older we make a lot of bad decisions and we dont get to ask for forgiveness or explain ourselves always or sometimes we feel remorse but our pride gets in the way of saying sorry until the opportunity is gone. The self reproach eats you up day by day. I find people who are able to ask for forgiveness BRAVE as it takes effort and total abandonment of one's self to accept fault. Wish I was taught like that. So I really admire this man. Have a good one! 😁😁
He was obviously very young when this happened, terribly frightened and in shock. To carry guilt over an understandable reaction for so many years is tragic in itself. I hope he makes peace with himself.
Katie, it ment the world to him , I guess you wouldn’t know, when you don’t know who that person is or where to find them ,yes 15 years so what, what is your issue. ?
Have we finally remembered about the 7/7 bombings? Blimey. Enough victims have said they feel forgotten so it’s nice to see someone’s story. Bless him and what a lovely woman
An an Afghan we go through attacks like this almost everyday. No one understands the pain of the families of the victims like the Afghan people do.

Exactly. 👏 The body just takes over. Our adrenaline removes the higher decision making process because the time it would take to weigh our choices just might make the difference between life or death in the situation.
@Cian MacGana he's brave for coming out about what he did without fearing social judgment from people like you. A man who's insecure about their socially constructed notions of masculinity or a "real man" according to your definition of masculinity would hardly or never have the spine to come out clean like this
I was in the last IRA bombing on London. I was 12 and lead people back to marble arch from the back of Oxford Street. At 12,i was a leader. Pretty cool, I guess
This was so honest. What a lovely story of human connection. You never know when you might be the hand in the darkness for another. And you never know how much a simple kindness means to someone else. 😊🐝❤
Dear Karl I am possibly your dad's age and a retired university Professor , while listennig to you I thought ; what would I do if I was in your place ? Probably the same . Not bcoz I am selfish but bcoz that was a situation where one unknowingly stops being himself and the moment gets the better of you . Time passes and one returns to his normal self again . Don't blame yourself , blame the situation , you are a pure soul . There would be a reason to feel bad if that lady had not survived but thankfully she did and it all came to a happy end . So be happy for her and yourself , put in a word for her in your prayer . Take care of yourself son , you are precious . Love to you from Pakistan 💚
Both needed help and both gave it. We have both strength & weakness. Setting down our mistakes by facing them shows incredible character. Beautiful story over the ugliness of the situation.
None of us know how we would react in an extreme emergency. We'd all like to think we'd be brave, but shock can make us do the unexpected. You are a BRAVE man. After the shock of the situation, you've been honest, and done the right thing. Your honesty has helped others. Bless you.
This man was clearly in survival mode - also called a fight or flight situation. All of our instincts tell us to get away from the danger and everyone handles emergency situations differently. It’s heartbreaking that he has been living with such tremendous guilt. I hope he can leave that guilt in the past and move forward. Perhaps he can use his experience to help others in some way. ❤
Ok i just want to say to this man that he was in a panic and in fight out flight and that he wouldn't have pushed past her to be selfish but because his rational thinking was turned off. It's ok. As much as we want to be thinking individuals in these situations, that isn't always possible
I'm pretty sure he's aware of that now...at the time he was only a trainee psychologist,so I'm pretty sure he's a professional one now so yes...he will be aware.
Yep that's correct. My mom saw a woman jump out the 2nd story and all her thoughts were was the ambulance needs to get to her so I have to move my car.
Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that this wingless Angel was with him supporting him throughout his order when she herself was going through the same! God bless you both and hoping with this encounter both have truly healed. Amen.
When you say wingless angel, somehow that reminds me of what had been happened to me too. Different situation but I believe that the help of wingless angel do exists. Thanks to God

@@jesussavedme6260 Yes truly I believe that. I was a sinner but I accepted, confessed with mouth that only Jesus Christ can save my soul. And wanted He used my life to be a blessing. During pandemic I kept working going out, even contracted the virus without knowing it. I pray, its ok oh Lord if I got the virus,but just give me good imun so i can continue my duty. Now after got tested positive for antibody but not even any single virus was detected. Amazing just amazing my prayer answered. I wish God bless you too..
I remember this day as if it was yesterday. My friend & I had organised to go shopping together in London, we were both 18/19 at the time. The evening before she phoned & said she’d been offered overtime, & i told her I had too.. so we rearranged. She picked me up & we went in to work together, & we heard about those bombings when we went upstairs for our break.. I ran to the bathroom & threw up. Our direct train gets in at London kings cross, & from there we used to get the Liverpool line - the exact train that was hit..& it was all around the time we would’ve got into London. Neither of us were directly affected, but the shock hit us quite badly at how close we came, we both went home early that day. I ended up meeting a guy a number of months later on a club night out in London who was on one of the trains that got bombed, his carriage, although damaged - stayed on the tracks & he & all the passengers inside survived with very minor cuts to no injuries, but I’ll never forget the glaze over his eyes when he spoke about getting out & stepping over bodies / severely injured people - that’s what people don’t tell you.. how harrowing it was even for those who escaped with little injuries, because of what they saw & heard that day. We sadly lost touch but I often wonder how he’s doing. My heart genuinely goes out to all those affected by the 7/7 - the victims, their families, first responders, paramedics, firemen, nurses, doctors, volunteers, everyone. Many of us won’t - & will never - forget 7/7.
I really appreciated her comment as it related to the video, I felt it wasn’t about her but about the topic at hand which I find a normal part of conversation flow
Yes, you never forget such horrible experiences, and so many people are thankful to survive. I was visiting London with my 16 year old daughter around that time. We had flown over from my native Ireland, where I had witnessed enough troubles over the years. Although thankfully not involved, I wrote about the experience from a spiritual point of view in a Christian book of short stories, published in 2007.
I was supposed to go into London that day too, to hand in coursework at university. The train I usually caught to uni was the one between London Paddington and Hammersmith and I would get off at Baker Street. That was one of the tubes that got hit. I had decided to go in later that day to give me more time to complete my coursework and I remember watching it on the lunchtime news, suddenly feeling sick to my stomach when I realised I could have been on that train at that exact time if I’d gone in as normal. It was such a heartbreaking day - luckily my husband had driven to work that day but he would have been on that line too. My heart goes out to everyone involved ❤
That sounds like a gift from humanity from one person to another🙏🏽 To listen to Karl, and wanting to meet this woman who held his hand seems so profoundly humane during a traumatic life tragedy in the 7/7 train bombing💛🌻
That’s one of the reasons we are here on this beautiful planet. To stay close to each other in good and bad times. In the end it is always a “give and take”Position we make our life worthy with. . A touching story, thank you so much for sharing. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Oh dear man, you're so young now which means you were astoundingly young at the time. I'm sorry you still hurt and hope you'll find a way to forgive your youthful panicked self. I believe the woman who helped you would quickly offer you forgiveness, not because she feel you owe it to her but because you need it to heal. Loving hugs 🤗💞
I would've been on that train, had we left later...Got back to our apartment, switched on the TV and saw the tunnel bombed we'd just come through. Will never forget that day 😢

His guilt about being "selfish" reminds me of the guilt that I feel for being a selfish teen when my mum died. It's harsh. I really feel for this guy and I hope he has peace now.
It's fascinating how we respond in such situations. I once had a really bad panic attack and my family all gathered around me in distress and worry. I felt my entire body become stiff: I was unable to move or speak or even move my eyes. A terrifying moment. I'll always remember how my auntie gripped my hand in hers and held it. I didn't feel any pressure. To be honest I don't think I even felt her hand. I just felt the temperature of her skin against mine. Cool. Cold. It meant so much to me. In a moment where I couldn't feel anything except overwhelming panic and a dire need to breathe, to feel her holding my hand is something I'll never forget. I'm not particularly close to her but I'll always think fondly of her because of this one moment.
What a touching story. You fulfilled a need in each other. So lesson learned is: Don't be afraid to say "I'm terrified. Are you okay?" I am so glad you both survived.
Wow! Hopefully, both feel some comfort in knowing another person has similar memories. The simple touch of a hand or a few words of kindness can change someone ‘s life.

the '7/7 ripple effect' documentary is very revealing and shines light where the mainstream fall short. RIP to all the people murdered on that fateful day. it is an absolute disgrace that there was not a public enquiry.
During one summer, I was taking a class at a university and was on my own. Most of the research I needed to do required individual work, so being alone was normal for me. One evening, as I was walking back to my apartment, I encountered a guy who appeared to be walking home as well. Almost passing him by, he asked if he could walk with me, and I agreed. We walked together in silence, occasionally exchanging smiles. It was then that I realized how alone I had been feeling, and how much it meant to me to have someone to walk with. When we reached my turn-off, I had to part ways with him. As we said our goodbyes, I felt a sense of gratitude and warmth from our brief interaction. The memory of that walk has always had a positive impact on me, and I sometimes find myself dreaming about it. It serves as a reminder of the influence we can have on others, and how we might be remembered.
I think we always want to reach out to our rescuers or those that helped us in dark times like that. I was rescued out of severe child abuse right after my 4th birthday. I will never know who made the call that sent the police and child services in to rescue us. But it will always be my desire to reach out that that person/people that literally saved my life to say "Thank you here is my life, this is what you gave me". I have been blessed to stay in touch with at least 1 of people who saved my life (my social worker), without them and my now adopted parents (only parents I claim) hard fight I would have gone back to that hell hole and died within months.
It's courageous of him to admit that he might have been selfish in hindsight to an audience and be honest about the details. That in itself, makes him worthy. He has earned this.
There is a lovely people in the world, I've stacked in France and I will never forgot a Russian lady how helped me until I came to London. Love her for ever. 😍❤️
Fight or flight is an intense and powerful response - it's almost impossible not to be in that place, reacting, despite our best intentions. One traumatized person to another: I am glad he found someone else to relate to who went through the same traumatic event and I hope now he can give himself peace. He deserves peace.
They are both politely and tentatively trying to find out but not commiting to being the other person. How many other people in that carraige during the bombing had that experience. It is obvious that they were the 2 people. She was kind then and is still kind towards him, giving him an out by saying that she did not feel bad about him pushing in front of her as she was searching for her phone.
I am convinced this was the lady I treated in the RLH A&E/MAU ward when I’d only just qualified as a student Nurse & quite possibly him also as had a very young man with a burst eardrum that same morning! Would love to meet them again
I recently found out for myself that you can not predict how you will handle a situation when you are under pressure for maybe loosing your life! So I totally understand all his feelings of guilt and thankfulness mixed into this traumatic event.
Good luck Karl! You’re moving forward, one step at a time. This took a lot of courage, it’s obviously overwhelming but you are safe, you are well and you are loved.
I’m so thankful that this young man & woman met! I hope they can stay connected & can share more of their lives that can help them to continue to honor their fears & move in a positive direction, as new friends!!
This man has given me hope that people who genuinely care, genuinely want to impact the world in a positive way and genuinely learn from their mistakes (even if this guy didn't actually do it)..exist. It just shows that humans do have potential, some of us are truly trying and that is enough for me. I needed to be reminded, thanks man ❤️
It's so important to hear from people who experience the worst of terrorist actions. We can learn and help more and understand the lifelong trauma that violence of the worst kind affects our friends, family, neighbours and those we read about. Sending warm and heartfelt wishes to this man and all who suffered on that despicable horrifying day.❤
I heard about Karl’s incredible 7/7 story only today. It has challenged me to reach out to “hold someone’s hand” to give them hope in a time of darkness and distress.
I was given a new born squirrel. I named him Sheldon. I had him for over a week before he died in my fingers. I had fed him every 2-3 hours and felt such love for him. I blamed myself and felt not only useless but a detriment to life. It was a struggle to talk myself down from this… I can not imagine the depths of his pains.
No one knows how a tragedy impacts the life of a person. He held this guilt inside and it gave him hope to find that person who held his hand. He judged himself hard but I feel he was probably getting out and allowed others to move out too. No judgement here at all. His heart is good 🥰
Oh my, this actually made me cry. I so felt for him and the guilt he felt. I hope he can let go of it now and appreciate the fact that he lived to tell the tale. He‘s a really good person, I feel…he deserves some peace of mind. Hope he found it now!
Very powerful. I hope the gentleman remembers the lesson he learnt about himself that day, and if there is a next time, he might be less selfish. But we are all human, and to be with someone as they die is a privilege, and to gain an insight into their true character.
I got caught up in this when i was a teenager. I could not take the tube for ten years. I still cannot get in a lift. I can't have doors locked in case i need to escape. I couldn't use my phone for hours afterwards to call my parents. I don't know why i am commenting this but.
That is a totally understandable response. The fact that you did take the tube speaks so much. I'm sorry if that's not what you need to hear, but I think you're more resilient than you believe. It takes so much time, strength, and support to have more and more control over our own fears. I hope you do have support. Wishing you all the best.
I think that Karl is so open and truthful about his own feelings in those moments, that's let's face it most of us have never experienced and, hopefully never will. proves the worthiness of the man. good luck to you Karl, and Susan, you have nothing to be ashamed of or guilty about! good health and XXX
Karl do not berate yourself for pushing someone out the way - you were in a life threatening situation and you were in shock and trauma. Recognise that you weren't yourself in that moment and u will heal from it.
This just proves that a simple gesture could hold a big part on our lives

@Cian MacGana he's brave for coming out about what he did without fearing social judgment from people like you. A man who's insecure about their socially constructed notions of masculinity or a "real man" according to your definition of masculinity would hardly or never have the spine to come out clean like this
@Cian MacGana oh shut up
I was in the last IRA bombing on London. I was 12 and lead people back to marble arch from the back of Oxford Street. At 12,i was a leader. Pretty cool, I guess
Nonsense. You can and do prepare for such moments with your everyday decisions and practices
This was so honest. What a lovely story of human connection. You never know when you might be the hand in the darkness for another. And you never know how much a simple kindness means to someone else. 😊🐝❤
Dear Karl I am possibly your dad's age and a retired university Professor , while listennig to you I thought ; what would I do if I was in your place ? Probably the same . Not bcoz I am selfish but bcoz that was a situation where one unknowingly stops being himself and the moment gets the better of you . Time passes
and one returns to his normal self again . Don't blame yourself , blame the situation , you are a pure soul . There would be a reason to feel bad if that lady had not survived but thankfully she did and it all came to a happy end . So be happy for her and yourself , put in a word for her in your prayer . Take care of yourself son , you are precious .
Love to you from Pakistan 💚
You are amazing and wonderful Human,may Allah blessings be with you munawar
You speak eloquently from a purest heart Sir, May Allah blesses you more than what you deserve and have longed for..
Both needed help and both gave it. We have both strength & weakness. Setting down our mistakes by facing them shows incredible character. Beautiful story over the ugliness of the situation.
Karl you are still a beautiful soul. I wish you a future full of all the healing you deserve.
None of us know how we would react in an extreme emergency. We'd all like to think we'd be brave, but shock can make us do the unexpected.
You are a BRAVE man. After the shock of the situation, you've been honest, and done the right thing. Your honesty has helped others.
Bless you.
Karl you shouldn't deal with guilt,you both helped each other,thank god you noth survived,god bless you
Karl your a good soul and the lady is really nice too. I am glad you have met each other .
It’s great to see that there are people out there who still have a conscience
I can not imagine his guilt/pain. What a sweet guy!
This man was clearly in survival mode - also called a fight or flight situation. All of our instincts tell us to get away from the danger and everyone handles emergency situations differently. It’s heartbreaking that he has been living with such tremendous guilt. I hope he can leave that guilt in the past and move forward. Perhaps he can use his experience to help others in some way. ❤
What a lovely man. A true gentleman.
Ok i just want to say to this man that he was in a panic and in fight out flight and that he wouldn't have pushed past her to be selfish but because his rational thinking was turned off. It's ok. As much as we want to be thinking individuals in these situations, that isn't always possible
And yet, she still had the most compassionate response!
I'm pretty sure he's aware of that now...at the time he was only a trainee psychologist,so I'm pretty sure he's a professional one now so yes...he will be aware.
Yep that's correct. My mom saw a woman jump out the 2nd story and all her thoughts were was the ambulance needs to get to her so I have to move my car.
Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that this wingless Angel was with him supporting him throughout his order when she herself was going through the same! God bless you both and hoping with this encounter both have truly healed. Amen.
When you say wingless angel, somehow that reminds me of what had been happened to me too. Different situation but I believe that the help of wingless angel do exists. Thanks to God
Jesus loves you all personally, He died for you, that you may love Him back. Jesus is coming back soon, please repent of your sins He is coming back sooner than we realise! Jesus loves you everybody, turn from your sin, sin separates us from Him and hurts us. therefore reject sin! Bless you everybody Jesus loves you have a nice day:) Jesus coming back soon!! I hope to see you all in heaven one day
@@jesussavedme6260 Yes truly I believe that. I was a sinner but I accepted, confessed with mouth that only Jesus Christ can save my soul. And wanted He used my life to be a blessing. During pandemic I kept working going out, even contracted the virus without knowing it. I pray, its ok oh Lord if I got the virus,but just give me good imun so i can continue my duty. Now after got tested positive for antibody but not even any single virus was detected. Amazing just amazing my prayer answered. I wish God bless you too..
Amen
@@jesussavedme6260 lol
Man, this Guy is something. God bless him. The world needs more such good souls like him. ✊✊✊✊✊👏
So interesting that it didn’t have a tidy resolution. Really impactful story.
The kindness of strangers... Tho in such a moment of Emergency we suddenly become ONE.
I remember this day as if it was yesterday. My friend & I had organised to go shopping together in London, we were both 18/19 at the time. The evening before she phoned & said she’d been offered overtime, & i told her I had too.. so we rearranged. She picked me up & we went in to work together, & we heard about those bombings when we went upstairs for our break.. I ran to the bathroom & threw up. Our direct train gets in at London kings cross, & from there we used to get the Liverpool line - the exact train that was hit..& it was all around the time we would’ve got into London. Neither of us were directly affected, but the shock hit us quite badly at how close we came, we both went home early that day. I ended up meeting a guy a number of months later on a club night out in London who was on one of the trains that got bombed, his carriage, although damaged - stayed on the tracks & he & all the passengers inside survived with very minor cuts to no injuries, but I’ll never forget the glaze over his eyes when he spoke about getting out & stepping over bodies / severely injured people - that’s what people don’t tell you.. how harrowing it was even for those who escaped with little injuries, because of what they saw & heard that day.
We sadly lost touch but I often wonder how he’s doing.
My heart genuinely goes out to all those affected by the 7/7 - the victims, their families, first responders, paramedics, firemen, nurses, doctors, volunteers, everyone. Many of us won’t - & will never - forget 7/7.
@Cian MacGana You stop being nasty. Whats wrong that she wanted to tell her story too.
Thank you for sharing
I really appreciated her comment as it related to the video, I felt it wasn’t about her but about the topic at hand which I find a normal part of conversation flow
Yes, you never forget such horrible experiences, and so many people are thankful to survive. I was visiting London with my 16 year old daughter around that time. We had flown over from my native Ireland, where I had witnessed enough troubles over the years. Although thankfully not involved, I wrote about the experience from a spiritual point of view in a Christian book of short stories, published in 2007.
I was supposed to go into London that day too, to hand in coursework at university. The train I usually caught to uni was the one between London Paddington and Hammersmith and I would get off at Baker Street. That was one of the tubes that got hit. I had decided to go in later that day to give me more time to complete my coursework and I remember watching it on the lunchtime news, suddenly feeling sick to my stomach when I realised I could have been on that train at that exact time if I’d gone in as normal. It was such a heartbreaking day - luckily my husband had driven to work that day but he would have been on that line too. My heart goes out to everyone involved ❤
That sounds like a gift from humanity from one person to another🙏🏽
To listen to Karl, and wanting to meet this woman who held his hand seems so profoundly humane during a traumatic life tragedy in the 7/7 train bombing💛🌻
That’s one of the reasons we are here on this beautiful planet. To stay close to each other in good and bad times.
In the end it is always a “give and take”Position we make our life worthy with. . A touching story, thank you so much for sharing. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Oh dear man, you're so young now which means you were astoundingly young at the time. I'm sorry you still hurt and hope you'll find a way to forgive your youthful panicked self. I believe the woman who helped you would quickly offer you forgiveness, not because she feel you owe it to her but because you need it to heal. Loving hugs 🤗💞
He looks like he's in his twenties. Was probably a teenager when it happened.
He’s pushing 40.
Wow! in a moment of shire chaos and darkness, these two comforted each other with the warmths of their hands, beautiful
One of the hardest lessons in life is self forgiveness.
Brave man
You are not bad for being afraid. She will understand. You are worthy.
I would've been on that train, had we left later...Got back to our apartment, switched on the TV and saw the tunnel bombed we'd just come through. Will never forget that day 😢

He was traumatised and he needs to have compassion for himself. 💛
Si. Pobre pibe. Se dió con un caño. La gente en esas situaciones, por el shock, reacciona de diversas formas.
His guilt about being "selfish" reminds me of the guilt that I feel for being a selfish teen when my mum died. It's harsh. I really feel for this guy and I hope he has peace now.
It's fascinating how we respond in such situations. I once had a really bad panic attack and my family all gathered around me in distress and worry. I felt my entire body become stiff: I was unable to move or speak or even move my eyes. A terrifying moment. I'll always remember how my auntie gripped my hand in hers and held it. I didn't feel any pressure. To be honest I don't think I even felt her hand. I just felt the temperature of her skin against mine. Cool. Cold. It meant so much to me. In a moment where I couldn't feel anything except overwhelming panic and a dire need to breathe, to feel her holding my hand is something I'll never forget. I'm not particularly close to her but I'll always think fondly of her because of this one moment.
What a touching story. You fulfilled a need in each other. So lesson learned is: Don't be afraid to say "I'm terrified. Are you okay?" I am so glad you both survived.
Wow! Hopefully, both feel some comfort in knowing another person has similar memories. The simple touch of a hand or a few words of kindness can change someone ‘s life.
It’s not selfish… if you have gone through a major trauma and feel like you needed to get out.
Jesus loves you all personally, He died for you, that you may love Him back. Jesus is coming back soon, please repent of your sins He is coming back sooner than we realise!

the '7/7 ripple effect' documentary is very revealing and shines light where the mainstream fall short. RIP to all the people murdered on that fateful day. it is an absolute disgrace that there was not a public enquiry.
There was a massive inquest into the whole incident and the response and everything, but not sure if it was public
@@stephthestar90 tony blair scoffed that an inquest would be 'a ludicrous diversion'
i ended up watching it bcus of this comment; truly an eye opening documentary. thanks for sharing!
They are both amazing. I can’t imagine how they felt in that moment but something as small as holding hands impacted both their lives.
I pray he feels released from guilt.
During one summer, I was taking a class at a university and was on my own. Most of the research I needed to do required individual work, so being alone was normal for me. One evening, as I was walking back to my apartment, I encountered a guy who appeared to be walking home as well. Almost passing him by, he asked if he could walk with me, and I agreed. We walked together in silence, occasionally exchanging smiles. It was then that I realized how alone I had been feeling, and how much it meant to me to have someone to walk with. When we reached my turn-off, I had to part ways with him. As we said our goodbyes, I felt a sense of gratitude and warmth from our brief interaction. The memory of that walk has always had a positive impact on me, and I sometimes find myself dreaming about it. It serves as a reminder of the influence we can have on others, and how we might be remembered.
He's more of a man than them terroists could ever be
covid has destroyed isis
@@narrativequestion how curious eh
The funny is isis created at America and I'm not surprised
@Cian MacGana Yes
I think we always want to reach out to our rescuers or those that helped us in dark times like that.
I was rescued out of severe child abuse right after my 4th birthday. I will never know who made the call that sent the police and child services in to rescue us. But it will always be my desire to reach out that that person/people that literally saved my life to say "Thank you here is my life, this is what you gave me".
I have been blessed to stay in touch with at least 1 of people who saved my life (my social worker), without them and my now adopted parents (only parents I claim) hard fight I would have gone back to that hell hole and died within months.
He’s got such huge, Disney/Pixar eyes. Beautiful.
This is the way to live a true and meaningful life. Inspiring.
It's courageous of him to admit that he might have been selfish in hindsight to an audience and be honest about the details. That in itself, makes him worthy. He has earned this.
A man with a conscience. A true unicorn. This is beautiful.
A very honest man. He shouldn't feel bad, panic and fear brings out things in us that we would usually rationalize.
There is a lovely people in the world, I've stacked in France and I will never forgot a Russian lady how helped me until I came to London. Love her for ever. 😍❤️
In the end, it's never about a nationality, ethnicity or whatnot. It's about how much of a human you are. ❤
He so brave admitting is weakness. We are not representative about one action but of a lifespan.
Fight or flight is an intense and powerful response - it's almost impossible not to be in that place, reacting, despite our best intentions. One traumatized person to another: I am glad he found someone else to relate to who went through the same traumatic event and I hope now he can give himself peace. He deserves peace.
They are both politely and tentatively trying to find out but not commiting to being the other person. How many other people in that carraige during the bombing had that experience. It is obvious that they were the 2 people. She was kind then and is still kind towards him, giving him an out by saying that she did not feel bad about him pushing in front of her as she was searching for her phone.
I am convinced this was the lady I treated in the RLH A&E/MAU ward when I’d only just qualified as a student Nurse & quite possibly him also as had a very young man with a burst eardrum that same morning! Would love to meet them again
Never underestimate your care or your kindness x A moment is worth a million smiles
I recently found out for myself that you can not predict how you will handle a situation when you are under pressure for maybe loosing your life! So I totally understand all his feelings of guilt and thankfulness mixed into this traumatic event.
Lovely story. Thank you!
Good luck Karl! You’re moving forward, one step at a time. This took a lot of courage, it’s obviously overwhelming but you are safe, you are well and you are loved.
I’m so thankful that this young man & woman met! I hope they can stay connected & can share more of their lives that can help them to continue to honor their fears & move in a positive direction, as new friends!!
God bless them and to protect them further of their lives
Once when I was really young I nearly drowned at Skegness in one of the theme park rides. We never saw her again. Hope she's still alive somewhere
It’s not selfish if you are genuinely having a panic attack. Theres no shame in wanting to escape from terror
❤️ human touch can make all the difference and offer so much peace. I hope his heart feels relieved now after talking to her.
This man has given me hope that people who genuinely care, genuinely want to impact the world in a positive way and genuinely learn from their mistakes (even if this guy didn't actually do it)..exist. It just shows that humans do have potential, some of us are truly trying and that is enough for me. I needed to be reminded, thanks man ❤️
This is beautiful story humanity restored by simple gesture
What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it at a time when stories like this are needed so badly. Bless you both.
this reinforces my belief that that there are still good people in the world who possess empathy and compassion.
It's so important to hear from people who experience the worst of terrorist actions. We can learn and help more and understand the lifelong trauma that violence of the worst kind affects our friends, family, neighbours and those we read about. Sending warm and heartfelt wishes to this man and all who suffered on that despicable horrifying day.❤
I heard about Karl’s incredible 7/7 story only today. It has challenged me to reach out to “hold someone’s hand” to give them hope in a time of darkness and distress.
I was given a new born squirrel. I named him Sheldon. I had him for over a week before he died in my fingers. I had fed him every 2-3 hours and felt such love for him. I blamed myself and felt not only useless but a detriment to life. It was a struggle to talk myself down from this… I can not imagine the depths of his pains.
Im sure she's not hating on him as much as he's hating on himself. He never thought he was holding her hand instead.
No one knows how a tragedy impacts the life of a person. He held this guilt inside and it gave him hope to find that person who held his hand. He judged himself hard but I feel he was probably getting out and allowed others to move out too. No judgement here at all. His heart is good 🥰
Wow! Thank you for sharing this message of humanity.
No one knows how they will react in an emergency, until they experience an emergency.
Such a small gesture and such a massive positive impact.
God bless you two and all that suffered on that sad day and the people who lost their lives 🙏
Such a beautiful humane story,, brave man and woman... xx
7/7 was done by our own government. Thats why no inquest.
@@jonbrothers10make it make sense.
Oh my, this actually made me cry. I so felt for him and the guilt he felt. I hope he can let go of it now and appreciate the fact that he lived to tell the tale. He‘s a really good person, I feel…he deserves some peace of mind. Hope he found it now!
Survival is a basic instinct so don't feel bad Karl. Bless you and everyone involved.
My sister lived in London at that time and she commuted with the underground to her job. Thank god she already was at work 🙏❤️
Very powerful.
I hope the gentleman remembers the lesson he learnt about himself that day, and if there is a next time, he might be less selfish.
But we are all human, and to be with someone as they die is a privilege, and to gain an insight into their true character.
I got caught up in this when i was a teenager. I could not take the tube for ten years. I still cannot get in a lift. I can't have doors locked in case i need to escape. I couldn't use my phone for hours afterwards to call my parents. I don't know why i am commenting this but.
That is a totally understandable response. The fact that you did take the tube speaks so much. I'm sorry if that's not what you need to hear, but I think you're more resilient than you believe. It takes so much time, strength, and support to have more and more control over our own fears. I hope you do have support. Wishing you all the best.
The depth of good and kindness amid such evil and cruelty. It is indeed spiritual warfare.
Everyone handles these kinds of situations differently. Some of us get panicky and claustrophobic. Forgive yourself buddy.
SO TOUCHING. I am weeping.
Bless you both and God rest the souls of those who died.
Bless her. Health, wealth and happiness to her.
I think that Karl is so open and truthful about his own feelings in those moments, that's let's face it most of us have never experienced and, hopefully never will. proves the worthiness of the man. good luck to you Karl, and Susan, you have nothing to be ashamed of or guilty about! good health and XXX
Much respect to him for his honesty.
Karl do not berate yourself for pushing someone out the way - you were in a life threatening situation and you were in shock and trauma. Recognise that you weren't yourself in that moment and u will heal from it.
