I agreeI travelled to and from work in London by public transport that day* so I could technically claim it was a "near miss" but of course it was actually a very distant miss.
I'm tired of people embellishing weak stories of a coincidental interaction with something that was later involved in a disaster. However, given their apparent appreciation of statistics, they're probably also big fans of the Lottery.
*I travelled home a lot later than usual on the 7th July as I did the same as lots of other Londoners that day: met friends in a pub, shared concerns and sympathies and then got incredibly drunk.
