10 years ago, on this street, the air was filled with sirens.
10 years ago, on this street, 6 minutes seemed like eternity.
10 years ago, on this street, time stopped in an instant.
10 years ago, on this street, people rushed to the rescue.
10 years ago, on this street, a small child lay still and breathless.
10 years ago, on this street, neighbours whispered and stared.
10 years ago, on this street, am ambulance raced away.
10 years ago, on this street, all was silent.
10 years ago, on this street, a mother came home alone.
10 years ago, on this street, life changed forever.
