I Lost Both My Legs In A Terrorist Attack Because I Was Hungover

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.

Disgusting how so many British people have forgotten this atrocitie , all those people who refuse condemn Hamas . We are now under a constant terror threat from extremists. What a brave courageous woman a brilliant example of strength. Thank you for telling your story

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

We haven't forgotten this, or the other terrorist attacks.

[@iguiste23]

Don't blame yourself having a hangover after having a good time with friends on the fact these terrorists and extremists are pure evil and have absolutely no regard for human life. It was all their fault, it is always their fault for what they do to other innocent people across the world.

[@krob2327]

Ah you see this is propaganda. It’s anti alcohol propaganda. Think about that. Who did the bombing and their ideology around alcohol. I’m tea total but don’t fall for this. They want you without entertainment or fun

[@somethinglikeanonymous1773]

You talk like we have terror attacks in a regular basis here in the Uk. Ask yourself how many people die as a direct result and indirect result if alcohol every single day in the uk. After you find that answer, I think you’ll find what the real problem is.

An incredible woman. Also the incredible people who helped her. What a brave lady.

[@jamieodoherty8199]

Your story brought me to tears. I'm so so sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for your overwhelming courage to come and say everything. Best wishes Martine

[@Eyelikewatchinvideos]

Martine, what a remarkable story. You are a brave and strong woman. Thank you TalkTV for sharing Martine's story.

[@Slarti]

Poor woman, she is so strong too.

[@WolfmanWoody]

She is one immensely brave woman as are all the other survivors and the emergency services and everyone else who helped on that fateful day. Remember too those that didn't make it and the futures they might have had.

[@helenclark2104]

Love this lady for her courage to speak about her experience and hope she can educate others about the importance of the threat lingering around the uk waiting to happen again this was when the police cared not no more

You go Martine!!! God Bless you ❤ Love from a fellow Brit living in USA 🇬🇧

[@mrrichierich9916]

❤😢🙏🏼😇 I personally admire the facts that you are Strong enough to go public and share your feelings on what happened to you during that bad time on an explosion on a train Considering the uk England was celebrating a special occurrence And no one has the right to take your life away in that awful way of thinking Especially on the grounds of religion Personally I don't think the realisation of the government understands We could be in that same position again in the future We have several people who are making it clear they are going to do it again You are very active people in destruction They are constantly sending there People to the The uk England giving tensions I ve carrying out more attacks towards the British people And the government refuses to accept the honesty or the truth of this matter We are insufficient to counteract anything in this country due to the structural basis and breakdown of this country And the governments are never accountable for their stupidity or their actions

[@vickythefist7062]

So what do you suggest .Muslims leave and shutting down all mosques??

[@mariannepfly1906]

Brave people talking about their experiences so publicly. Can’t be easy xx

[@brendanicola4692]

Your determination and high energy, is unbelievable …remarkable the rewinding of her memories…. The weird thing is, that was the train I took every morning but fortunately I was overseas on holidays. . . Bless you always!,,,

What an incredible woman, you’re an inspiration to many ❤❤

[@chongxina8288]

What a lovely woman, you can just tell she’s a good egg. Really good attitude too.

[@neilchristie6387]

You didn't lose your legs because you were hungover. You lost your legs because we have a multicultural society.

[@booth2710]

exactly but any deflection will do ... and for those who think it can't happen to them - a good reminder is that 100s arrive on the beach of Dover every day and we dont' know a thing about them - not even their names.

[@metalicminer6231]

Did you know the police were training for just such an attack as it unfolded? Then as soon as COVID arrives the terrorists stopped...time to start asking real questions.

[@metalicminer6231]

​@@booth2710why would terrorists attack the public? Not one Muslim attack has targeted politicians, ask yourself why?

[@metalicminer6231]

If he was wearing a back pack,how come she lost her legs, the explosion wasn't on a terrorists back, it was placed under the train.

[@London719]

​@@metalicminer6231Who do you think carried out the attack then?

[@wendydavies1481]

An incredible spirit and resolve. Her actions didn’t cause her to lose her legs though - a terrorist and a bomb did that.

It could be you, or me, next. I was walking past the arena in Mancheser when it blew.

[@metalicminer6231]

Another false flag bombing, why on earth would a terrorist attack innocent people? How come not one politician has been targeted by Muslim terrorists? Then please also explain why terrorists suddenly stopped during COVID?

[@Cromwelldunbar]

Martine…Thank you so much for your counsels and for your moving recollections….The World can only love you for your supreme honest guts and decency… Bless you and all those who died that day…And all others victims of all the mindlessness of self-appointed executioners the salesmen of Evil. They threw their conscience away to become like Satan…

[@530jazzercise]

islam..the gift to humanity that keeps putting people on journeys..

[@jtm1129]

The title is a bit misleading. Not at any time did she say being hung over placed her in the line of the bomb. She simply says she was running late because she had a late night. By using such a title you are reducing her experience to click bait. Shame on you. Sensationalism for cash no doubt.

[@flossyflue4305]

You brave lady, I’ve often wondered how all the wounded people are from these awful terror attacks. Blessings for you.

Amazing grace, salt of the earth. I wish you well

A brave lady, I wonder if she has the same sense of today’s London as she did when this bombing happened. My thoughts are with you, how things have changed have changed for true Londoner’s!!!!

[@mehcol]

This shouldn't have happened. A very difficult listen. Tears. God Bless.

[@neanda]

what an amazing story, and she told it so well.. someone should make a movie about this, she is truly inspiring

Good on you! Positive person! Love you! Fantastic!!!

[@lisalisa948]

Beautiful. Thank you x

[@devonthemaskeddevonaire9471]

A very brave lady who should not have to be so brave, we all are guilty of forgetting victims like this lady.

[@barbaradyson6951]

I was also very lucky I was working in Belfast in 1980 when a 500lb bomb went off. I walked away with minor injuries many others didn't. It has changed my thinking about terrorists and people in general. I also no longer cry. I sympathise with what she went through.

[@metalicminer6231]

Isn't it funny the police were training for just such an attack in the same spots it actually happened..

[@funnykeymonkey]

It’s an awful evil thing, and more innocent victims from Blair’s illegal wars. God bless Martine.

[@atlarge2621]

This tag line is so ridiculous and insulting..She didn't lose her legs because she was hung over.

[@Goodbyeeveryonehere]

She did. She said she snoozed her phone for 10 minutes because she was hungover. If she hadn't, she'd not have been there when it happened.

[@cyclist68]

Wasn't it Family Guy creator Seth McFarland that missed his flight on 911 because he over slept. He would have been on one of the airliners that hit the twin towers.

[@metalicminer6231]

Isn't it funny how COVID cured terrorism? Or did the government stop sponsorship during lockdown?

[@diggerpete9334]

Religion of peace and the wonders of diversity that day.

[@hadrianlear1215]

I was one stop away from Victoria station when the bomb went off February 91 I was on my way to be picked up outside whsmiths in the station along with 40plus pupils for bowden house school

[@BristolMatt]

I enjoyed and liked this video up until the point she said that she was meant to take that journey that day and it was meant to happen. So are we saying the same about the ones who died? How sick is your god that he does things like that?

[@metalicminer6231]

She's lying out of her teeth unfortunately.

[@Madonnalitta1]

No, not because you were hungover, it's not your fault. It's the crazy person or people who planned this attack and carried it out are to blame.

[@Hector-bj3ls]

Remember what you're told. Don't look back in anger. Why? Well, because that would force our politicians to confront the uncomfortable truth that this is their fault.

[@cyclist68]

Even out of evil comes good.

[@sofialovinglife597]

😢

[@EmpiricalMind]

Much more to come, but whilst your loved ones are getting blown to bits, remember, don't look back in anger, just accept this is all part and parcel of living in a big city.

[@itspart]

You lost both your legs in a terrorist attack because of usless governments

[@karaloca]

Title is a strange one. It should read, ‘I lost my legs because the immigration services failed to do their job’. Yes, the powers that be will call these ‘homegrown’ terrorists, however the ideals and attitudes present in their land of origin travelled with the perpetrators family as many fail or even want to live life according to British values. This was an awful day that I will never forget.

[@manpreetbrar838]

Thats why allah tells you not to take alcohol.

A vote for Lib/Lab/Con is a vote for Islam. This will happen to more of us unless we take back our country.

[@vickythefist7062]

Sorry to call her out but the most you can loose in blood is 50 % before your heart stops and you will fall into coma and have cardiac arrest . 80 % blood loss is incompatible with life so I don't know why they are telling her that .Either they are lying to her or she is to make it more dramatic .Not that it needs to be because she lost both of her legs. Sorry but I'm a very literal person and it really annoys me when people twist the truth !;

[@Evemeister12]

Moral of the story. Stop drinking.

[@somethinglikeanonymous1773]

Lesson learnt. Alcohol ruined her life. Simple.

[@Mary-lx3zs]

Don't be ridiculous

[@somethinglikeanonymous1773]

@@golgulok2401 she is alcoholic. If she hadn’t been hungover, she would still have her legs. That’s facts

[@patriciasanderson2171]

Some really demented people in the comments.

[@theinngu5560]

Her life isn’t ruined!

[@theinngu5560]

I see that alcohol doesn’t do any good but alcohol did not carry the bombs …terrorists who were so deluded that they chose to harm those they do even know did that. The thing is those terrorists do no know that they will have a huge price to pay for a very long time. It is not possible to harm others without harming yourself but in ignorance these terrorists blinded by their blind beliefs didn’t understand this.

[@metalicminer6231]

Given an MBE for lying out of her teeth..

[@London719]

What do you think she is lying about?

[@metalicminer6231]

Everything, this was a false flag bombing, the police were actually training at all three locations the attack happened, no mention of who actually done it, and why would a terrorist waste resources on bombing the public, it's funny no Muslim terrorists have ever targeted politicians.. if he had a backpack on four feet away from her, how did that just blow her legs off? The bomb was under the train not in some imaginary back back..the same train was under so called maintenance by sub contractors the night before.. they planted the bomb..this has been one massive false flag.

[@MissOrchid12]

Dumb statement.

[@carmemdovirgens2291]

I remember that day. Because was my first time visit UK, I never spoke English on that time, I come to visit my Fiancée family, I only remember that I was on the bus 52 from Notthing Hill gate, but I decided to come out of the bus and walk, the next thing I heard was a massive explosion in Edgware Road and the bus, the police was telling me to run, and at the same time all mobile phones stopped working, because the MI6 made the phone stop as the terrorist was using mobiles phones to activate the. Bombs. I remember vivid
