Narrow Escapes
IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

The London bombings
7th July 2005
I'd normally get the Number 30 bus to work, and would usually have been on it around the time it blew up, though obviously I might have had a lucky day and been on a different bus. However...
On this particular day, I'd stayed at a friend's and had a training course near Aldgate away from where I usually worked, so I got the tube. I was making good time and so got off it early to meet a friend for coffee at Kings Cross. 8 minutes later it blew up.
The training was rescheduled for 21st July - the date of the second attempted terrorist attacks. I went by bike.
