Touchdown

I happened to be taking the bus to campus last week when we ran into a bit of a backup in the area of Trafalgar Square. It soon became apparent that someone was gravely injured and he was of some importance. When the bus had entered the Square, I saw a man in a pinstriped suit receiving CPR in the middle of the road. There were 3-4 ambulances and 7-8 red police vehicles attached to the Diplomatic Protection Group. Nothing ever appeared in the newspaper, but it did seem to be more of a response than you or I would have received.

I was focused on all that when I heard a muffled noise from outside the bus. I was sitting by the left window and looked out to see a medical helicopter coming in for a landing. Those of you who have been to London will know that there is not a tremendous amount of room for a helicopter to land between those two fountains.

I frantically ripped through my backpack and found my camera. What follows are a handful of pictures I managed to take from the upper level of a moving bus.
