Let’s get this straight: these weren’t just statistics on a screen. These were people who had morning routines, who forgot their keys, who were running late for work that Tuesday. They were someone’s dad, someone’s secret crush, someone’s reason to smile.

Take Benedetta Ciaccia, a young lawyer who was supposed to be in a different carriage but switched at the last second. She survived. Then there’s Philip Russell, a tile fitter from Essex, who was on his way to a job. His family still sets an extra place at Christmas dinner. Kidding? Not even a little.

And Behnaz Mozakka, a 47-year-old mother, was just heading to work at a music college. She used to hum while she cooked. Her son now teaches music to kids who never knew her. Life’s cruel punchlines, right?

The "What If" Game No One Wins

Do you ever play that game? What if the train was two minutes slower? What if they’d decided to walk? The victims’ stories are full of those agonizing forks in the road. For Laura Webb, a 29-year-old accountant, it was a simple detour: she took a different route to avoid a tube strike. That choice cost her everything.

Then there’s Anthony Fatayi-Williams, a 26-year-old oil trader who left his apartment in a rush, forgetting his mobile phone. He called his mum from a payphone to say he loved her. That was his last call. The detail sticks with me like gum on a shoe.

But here’s the weird part: some people walked away with nothing but a headache. Gill Hicks, for example, lost both her legs below the knee. She now runs a charity and speaks about resilience. If you met her, she’d probably make you laugh before you even realize what she’s been through. Talk about guts.
