Safety Poo
I worked in Poplar for 8 years. I was due to pop in and see someone on Harbour Exchange on the way home .. not on the way - opposite in fact - but not planning on coming back to the office after. Had already picked up keys and phone when I felt the beginning of a turtle (home was an hours drive or more), so stepped into trap 2.

Came out afterwards and was walking towards the door when the bomb went off. couple of windows broken - thing fell off shelves. We thought a plane had come down (our Industrial Estate was right under the flight path for planes on finals to London City Airport.

Rang the person who I was going to see - her open office had solid walls, but front and back 'walls' were glass - on the ground floor - most of that office was in the dock out the back - she had stepped into her person little office - she was OK, but crapping herself....

Timings were such that if I'd Id not taken that dump, we'd have been in her main office when it went off.
