What photo gripped you the most from London
I'm sorry to stay focused on these attacks, but it is my nature. Out of all the photos I saw, the one that has had the most impact was the pic from the camera phone in the tunnel.

The light, with all those people marching out in order (thanks to the tracks). The fact you couldn't see their faces made it so real for some reason. When you see faces, sometimes, it takes away from the moment because we are used to seeing faces of people in this world. But to see the backs of people walking away from a serious tradgedy had a real grab. A different angle on what happened.
Again, instead of seeing faces of anguish, we saw the backs of those who had been there, walking away, getting out of the predicament.

An amazing photo.
The other one that got me was the gent with the bandage on his head, holding a bottle of water and a bus transfer. It was like he was saying, "I'm getting on the next bus, so fuck you."
