A man caught in disastrous 7/7 bombing Remember the pain after the attack.

Recalling the moment that the bomb exploded, Mr. Dahad said: “My first idea was that I should be in a bad dream, I am not really here. I can’t really make it that I was still sleeping in my bed and it was a bad dream.
“And then I realized that not really, I am not in a nightmare. It’s real. So, I picked up myself on the ground and felt my organs and face.
“I was not sure that I was dead or alive.”
Speaking in a documentary chain about attacks on BBC Two, Mr. Dahad said that after the initial shock, he feared that another attack could be as a chemical weapon.
“Roshni went out, the power was completely closed,” he said. “I easily felt immediately that it should be a terrorist attack. I did not know that 25 people were killed in that car at that time. I just thought we were alive.
“So, I wondered well if it was a terrorist attack and has not hit anyone, so there is much more to come. Perhaps some kind of biological or chemical weapon.
“Smoke started falling down the car, I think it was a soot provoked from the wall of tunnels and I thought it is probably some kind of poisonous gas and I think many people think the same because people standing near me had again gone to the ground thinking that they can avoid it.”
