  1. Research into 7th July, 2005 • Data collected from 145 people (about 5% of all those directly affected by the blasts) from the following sources: • Press reports and web-logs • Web based questionnaire • Interview study of willing survivors

  2. Response to 7/7 • Individual fear and distress, but no mass panic • Evacuations characterised by orderly, calm behaviour • Many reports of altruism, co-operation, and collective spirit of Londoners/ UK as a whole

  3. Panic? • ‘There was no real panic - just an overwhelming sense to get out of the station quickly’ • ‘Almost straight away our packed carriage started to fill with smoke, and people panicked immediately. Thankfully there were some level-headed people on the carriage who managed to calm everyone down’

  4. Unity • ‘I felt there was a real sense of unity. We were all trying our best to find a way out of there and reassure each other’ • ‘One of the things which struck me about this experience is that one minute you are standing around strangers and the next minute they become the closest and most important people in your life. That feeling was quite extraordinary’

  5. Co-operation • ‘Many people kept calm and tried to help one another to see if anyone was injured’ • ‘I was very aware of people helping each other out and I was being helped myself’ • ‘Passengers with medical experience were found, I found a tool box and we smashed a window, allowing the medical guys to enter the other train’
