Safety rules delayed 7/7 firefighters, inquest told

Severely injured 7/7 survivors were trapped for more than an hour awaiting medical treatment because safety rules delayed firefighters from going down to a bombed train, an inquest heard today.

Suicide bomber Jermaine Lindsay, 19, blew himself up on a Piccadilly line train between King’s Cross and Russell Square stations in London at about 8.50am on July 7, 2005.
