London bus driver recounts attack horror

AFP, London
The driver of the London bus blown apart by a bomb that killed at least 13 people revealed yesterday he has been unable to sleep since surviving the attack.

George Psaradakis recounted the nightmare when the roof was ripped clean off his double-decker bus and people were blown apart in Thursday's explosion.

The 49-year-old pulled victims from the wreckage of his number 30 bus before disappearing into the crowds in shock and confusion.

"I cannot believe there was a bomb on the bus. It was a terrible thing to see - terrible," Psaradakis told The Sun newspaper.

"I haven't been able to sleep since because of the pain and still feel very shocked and confused."

The driver told of the moment his number 30 bus turned off central London's Upper Woburn Place at 9:47 am (0847 GMT) Thursday.
