Twenty years after the 7/7 London bombings, True Criminals revisits the deadliest terrorist attack on British soil since Lockerbie.
In Part 1 of this powerful two-part episode, Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt and journalist Helen Fospero relive the chaos of July 7th, 2005—when four coordinated suicide bombings struck London’s transport network, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds.
As frontline reporters, they describe what it was like to cover the breaking news amid fear, misinformation, and confusion. We’re also joined in the studio by Chris Webb, former Head of News for the Metropolitan Police and Deputy Director of Media and Communications at Scotland Yard, who reveals how the police handled media coordination during one of the UK’s darkest days.
This episode offers rare insight into the role of the press and police in real-time crisis response, uncovering how both institutions navigated the emotional and logistical fallout of a national emergency.
