Giuliani Was Near Site of Bombing

By MICHAEL COOPER
Published: July 8, 2005

Rudolph W. Giuliani, whose legacy as mayor of New York City was transformed by his stewardship during and after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, was on a business trip to London yesterday when he found himself half a block from the first blast there.

He spoke afterward of the sound of the sirens as rescuers raced toward that explosion, at the Liverpool Street station, and the growing realization, as more explosions were reported, that it had been a terrorist attack.

"It was just, to me, very, very eerie to be right there again when one of these attacks takes place," Mr. Giuliani said in an interview on BBC radio.

4. There's a Guy With Some Bad Karma or Something

He's like that "Murder, She Wrote" chick where everywhere they go, bad things happen.

5. I'd like to know

if Giulinani Partners LLC was involved in the security exercises being run that day, or had connections with any of those companies.

7. As the article says, he was there for a conference

"Mr. Giuliani had traveled to Britain to give the keynote address to a local government conference on Wednesday."

8. Thank God Mr. 9-11 was there

Makes it so much easier to associate 9-11 with the London bombings...

9. Was Giuliani in Madrid on 3/11?

Sorry, it's a sick joke but I couldn't resist.

This reminds me of Robert Lincoln, Abe Lincoln's son being at the scene of the assassinations of Presidents Garfield and McKinley. Just one of those strange historical coincidences.

11. I'm sure

it was eerie for him. :eyes:
