As 20th Anniversary Of London Bombings Nears, Adam Wishart Explains Why His New 7/7 Doc Is So Distinct From ‘9/11: Inside The President’s War Room’
The BBC's '7/7: The London Bombings' director Adam Wishart has talked Tony Blair, Jean Charles de Menezes and '9/11: Inside The President's War Room'.

Bush and his closest confidantes. Now, as the 20th anniversary approaches, Wishart and the BBC have turned the spotlight to the 7/7 bombings in London, but he detailed how the focus on the worst such attack to ever hit the UK capital needed to be broader, taking in multiple authorities and precincts while moving beyond the hours after the terrifying incident.
