Simon Weekes becomes an overnight celebrity after his heroics during
the 7/7 Bombings. But Simon can't afford the newfound fame and attention
-- he has too much to lose.
July 7, 2005. Simon Weekes is travelling on the London Underground when
his tube carriage is wrecked by a bomb blast. Virtually everyone is
killed and almost all the survivors are severely injured. Except for
Simon.
Having quickly and calmly organised the small band of survivors out of
the wreckage and to safety, word of Simon's heroics get out in the days
following the bombing. Now under the full glare of the media spotlight,
he becomes an overnight celebrity, hounded for interviews and regularly
approached in the street by autograph hunters.
The only thing is, he doesn't want all the attention. He can't afford
it. He has too much to lose.
