Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers OTT Release Date - When and where to watch this chilling documentary

Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers OTT Release Date - Netflix is dropping this powerful documentary on 1st July 2025, and it's not your average true-crime story. This digs deep into one of the most horrifying days in modern British history. It¡¯s chilling, emotional, and straight to the point. Here¡¯s what it¡¯s all about, the real incident that inspired it and why it matters.

The real-life tragedy: What happened on 7/7?

On the morning of July 7, 2005, London woke up like any other day. People boarded buses and packed onto the Underground trains, heading to work, school, or home. But by 8:50 AM, everything changed. Four young British men, radicalised and armed with homemade bombs, carried out coordinated suicide attacks on three tube trains and a double-decker bus.

• Three blasts hit trains near Aldgate, Edgware Road, and Russell Square.
• An hour later, the fourth bomb exploded on a bus at Tavistock Square.

The result? 52 innocent lives lost and over 700 people injured. It was the UK¡¯s first-ever suicide bombing. The attack shocked the world, not just because of the death toll, but because the attackers were British citizens. The city came to a halt. Emergency services raced to the scenes. Families searched desperately for loved ones. And the country was left asking: Who were these men, and how did this happen on our soil?
