Dan Biddle survived the 7/7 London bombings in 2005. He recounts his trauma in a new book.

Every night I am back in that tunnel and haunted by July 7 bomber...

IT’S nearly 20 years since Dan Biddle was carried, bloodied and burned, out of London’s Edgware Road Tube Station - his eye and both legs lost and his mind forever scarred.

He had a 2% chance of recovery yet Dan would fight on to become a symbol of defiance - as 7/7’s most-injured survivor.

Nearly two decades on from the terrorist suicide bombings of July 7, 2005, he's still fighting.

He has daily battles with Complex PTSD, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety and survivor's guilt, and is haunted by hallucinations of the bomber’s face.

And Dan is fighting for the government to finally do right by the victims ahead of next month's 20th anniversary - by launching a full public inquiry.

“Some 52 people lost their lives, why doesn’t that warrant one?” he asks. “I knew that getting blown up, life was going to be tough but I didn’t think it would be unjust.”

More than 770 people were injured when four jihadists blew up three tube trains and a bus.

Dan is back there every night, when he closes his eyes.

“I have been exhausted for 20 years because I dread going to sleep,” he says. “The minute I go to sleep, I'm on the floor in the tunnel.”

Dan was 26 when his old life ended on his way to work at a construction site. He was standing close to bomber Mohammad Sidique Khan, who was sitting with a rucksack on his lap.

“I was about six inches from touching him,” recalls Dan.
