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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Poor woman, she is so strong too.

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

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 🇬🇧

What a courageous brave wonderful woman ❤tears to my eyes

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!,,,

❤😢🙏🏼😇 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

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

What an inspirational brave courages woman with the most amazing positive mental attitude lots of love Martine you absolute warrior ❤

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

What a wonderful lady!!

Such a brave woman and yet so positive about life. Wish her the best of luck in life and only hope its a really happy life.🙏

What an amazing lady, fantastic positivity. She could be a great politician.

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

What a brave young lady you are, your story, (despite your injuries) is so uplifting! Your journey is compelling and a message to us all. Bless you...

what an amazing story! incredible spirit and attitude Martine! ❤

Bless her 💖

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

What a wonderful/incredible woman..

I remember reading an article about this woman in The Guardian. I was so moved I wrote to her and sent a poem called Sometimes, ( not by me) when she was in the Douglas Bader unit at Roehampton. I had a lovely response from her which I still have. I am so pleased and inspired that she turned this awful experience into a positive one and became a Paralympian champion. Her words at the end are so encouraging.

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

amazing human x

Lovely lady, inspiration, articulate x

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!!!!

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

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.

what a lovely lady. God bless

Every thing happens for a season .you saw the light in your life .❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful. Thank you x

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

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

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

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…

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

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

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

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

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.

Very inspiring!

Brave lady

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

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.

Religion of peace and the wonders of diversity that day.

What a wonderful beautiful woman ❤

what an amazing woman and survivor so brave

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.

How beautiful and courageous ❤ she sees Gods grace. He works in mysterious ways. He is in control…it’s not fate it’s His hand

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.

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

😢

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?

Even out of evil comes good.

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.

Thats why allah tells you not to take alcohol.

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

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

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.

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 !;

4 foot away yet no marks on the face , neck or arms...52 dead = 7 7/7/2005=7 how many sevens do you need to see a ff event...?

Moral of the story. Stop drinking.

Lesson learnt. Alcohol ruined her life. Simple.

Given an MBE for lying out of her teeth..

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

cool story bro
