Martine Wright lost both of her legs in the London 7/7 bombings. She was in the carriage where the bomb exploded on a later train than she would usually take because she was late on her way to work. She was late because she had been out having a few drinks to celebrate London being awarded the 2012 Olympics on the evening of Wednesday, July 6th 2005 and decided to stay in bed for an extra 10 minutes on Thursday July 7th.

Martine reveals the terrifying moment the bomb went off, what happened in the immediate aftermath of terror and confusion and how the actions of a random stranger saved her life. From the crush of a bomb on the tube and the months of rehabilitation and adjusting to life in a wheelchair, Martine went on to represent Great Britain at the London 2012 Paralympics.

This is her story.
