Designer Tells Of Friend's Death On 7/7 Bus

A designer has told the inquest into the July 7 attacks how in 2005 she was blown from the number 30 bus in Tavistock Square onto the pavement below, where she saw her friend lying dead nearby.

Camille Scott-Bradshaw was on a talent-spotting trip to London with colleague Marie Hartley when the bomb was detonated by Habib Hussain.
"I felt like I was flying through the air," explained Mrs Scott-Bradshaw.
"I knew I was lying on the floor and there was droning in my ears."
Ms Scott-Bradshaw had been blown clear of the bus.
Helped by passers-by, she was moved by makeshift stretcher to the entrance of the British Medical Association.
"I shouted for my friend Marie. I looked over to the corner and saw lots of bodies. I knew Marie was there. I could see her hair, her bracelets and her arm.
"I feel very lucky."
Another passenger, Mark Beck was not so lucky. He told the inquest he twice nearly avoided the bombing altogether.
"I got onto one number 30 bus, but it was so slow that I got onto another. I wonder now why I did!"
Mr Beck was en route to Islington, and was sitting just feet from Hussain when the bus came to a standstill.
"People were getting off, so I decided I would too."
Mr Beck was sitting on the raised back seat of the bus.
"I leaned forward with my right leg and my right arm holding an umbrella when the bomb went off," he told the coroner's court.
"I felt no pain even though my leg had gone and my hand was hanging off."
After no-one appeared to come to his rescue, in panic and on one foot Mr Beck attempted to free himself, but he was trapped.
He told the court he lost his right leg, had reconstructive surgery on his right hand and suffered two crushed vertebrae in his neck.
