i am ok, i am safe.

to the people back home who have heard about the london terrorist attacks where 38 were killed and hundreds wounded: i am ok, i am safe. i was at work hundreds of miles away in nottingham when it happened, so no, i didn't take a weekend to visit london or anything. many people talked about the incident this far north, but most people just went about their daily lives.

however, watching footage of kings cross station swarmed with emergency personnel isn't a comforting feeling. i used kings cross station several times to get to where i was going. i recognised the scene in the background.

chilling.
