The door to the place..
The thing is that i have the pictures from today on my cellphone so i'll add them as soon as possible..:D
Alright later on that day it was all stress because when i came to the airport i couldn't check in because i've my Ö letter in my surname so I had to rename myself before checking in. So i did that then i checked in my luggage and everything and by the time I was ready the gate were supposed to close in like 5 minutes or something so I ran the whole way and it was long. But the gate hadn't opened yet and lucky so it didn't take long boarding the plane when the gate opened like 2-3 minutes later....
And to add to this I had been stressing around all day to get to both madame tussaud's and Sherlock Holmes museum..
But it was well worth it..
Hope you're all fine..:D until next time..:P

King's Cross
In 18th november 1987 there was a huge fire in the underground station called King's Cross St Pancras. It erupted from one of the escalators. The one with traffic from the Piccadilly line. This one:
At first there was only a small fire for a long time so the firebrigade thought it was under controll. But later it became a huge fire in only seconds.
Imaging a fire start when there is more people the this in the escalator because it was rush hour, this picture is taken just before rush hour.
When it started the people who worked on the station closed these escalators. But the trains still stopped at the station and people still got on and of the trains.
In just seconds what was a small controlled fire erupted to a big one.
The firemen were chocked they had never seen anything like it.
And it all happend because of the trench effect. Which as a aftermath to this fire was found out.
The trench effect shows that at first it's a small fire but the heat of the fire goes upwards and because of the 30° angle of the escalator it's heating up to a level when it can't be more heated and a huge fire erupts. But this heat couldn't be seen which tricked the firemen in to a false thinking that the fire was under controll.
And the hall in which it erupted in to might have looked like this.
Because in this station there are two places were the escalators go up from the one who got on fire is this one.
and the one where people still got down and up from is this one.
And this station is one of the bigger ones in London with three lines stopping here and the railway trains too.
This fire ended 31 peoples life and the aftermath they got out of it in the end wasn't that it was the work of terrorists or anything likewise. The conclusion they got at last was that it was because some passenger had lighted a cigarette in the escalator and thrown the match down without turning it out.
And it could happend because of the dirt in the escalator and because it was partly of wood.
I think this is a really interresting conclusion after all..:D
Hope you enjoyed reading..
Back!
After that we went to town.. first to see the london eye then Big ben and the house of parlamaint. It was really interesting we saw statues of William Pitt, Fox and others. And we were in Westminister hall were very famous trials have been held one is William Wallace. There had also been very famous speaks and so on there.. Lots of history we even went in to see the parlamaint debate.. The thing with this place is that you can't bring your camera to long.. Although I brought a camera (not mine) the pictures weren't good unfortunately.. The camera is old and couldn't handle the light.
:D See you soon
Hi!
It was very interesting to be at the places were Anne Boleyn was exacuted and burried, Elisabeth I was householding and all kings and queens since year 1066. :D
This is Traitor's gate.. Anne Boleyn was brought through this gate in to the castle when the coronation procession was being held and three years later when she was going to her trial, even other famous prisoners were brought to the castle through this gate because it's the way through the water so it was probably supposed to be harder to escape.:D
By the way if anyone didn't know Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII and mother of Queen Elisabeth I...
This is the execution place for the finer people... Anne Boleyn was executed here by a sword.
And she's now burried in a church right beside it along with many other famous people I couldn't photograph in it because it wasn't alloud but this is outside it.
And this is a painting on the wall of Queen Elisabeth of how she was supposed to have looked when she was going to meet the Spanish armada.
Alright so that's a bit of what I've looked at and learned..
See you soon..:D
