Yes, I'll second what Wendy said about the emergency services, and add that the media have been excellent, too. I remember thinking that 9/11 brought out the very best in our media - they were highly professional, informative and never hysterical or over-speculative - and the same is true today. Both public and commercial media services have done an excellent job of keeping us informed and providing useful advice, helpline numbers and so on.

Seen some devasting accounts of people being trapped in dark, hot, smoky tunnels with little air. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.

But transport services are already beginning to get back to normal and today a lot of people in London just got on and did what they would do on any working day - so we are not terrorised. We are defiant.
