How come no one helped him? One man even rejected giving his jacket to help him...

The basics of the story are true - its been on the news, see for example [URL] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4733097.stm [/URL], but I can't tell about the other stuff, it seemed like it could have been slightly exaggerated. Perhaps it was so traumatic and happened so fast that she didn't quite register what everybody else was doing. She's then gone back and recreated the events for the article and has allowed her mind to fill in the gaps. Its possible that other passengers were around, making calls to the police and standing just behind her ready to help, but were unable to actually gain access.

I have no idea though to be hones and she could be completely right, in which case that's a pretty poor show from the others on the bus. Either way, the truth or not, its a tragic incident and a horrible murder. Its such a shame that amidst all the terrorist attacks there are still people in this country, "on our side" if you like, killing eachother.

I can't believe hat's true.
I don't mean that the way most people say "I can't believe it", but aas I read through it I truly thought it was some sort of false article.

People aren't like that, surely?
