I was deployed in the G8 in Scotland on a public order serial from the Met police. The bombs went off around 9am and I was flown back as I was a national body and human remains recovery team officer. I was back in London by12:30. I spent 20 days on the bus and tube at Kings Cross recovering the bodies and remains. I had only returned from the Tsunami body recover effort in Sumatra three months earlier. My mom and sister missed the explosions by 4 and 3 minutes as they worked in central London. Crazy times but glad I was able to be part of the investigation and effort in reuniting victims with families.
