Eight Minutes of Terror at London Bridge

On Saturday, on a warm evening in London, there was a terrorist attack. Seven members of the public were killed, and forty-eight were injured. Two weeks ago, a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a concert in Manchester, killing twenty-two other people, among them many young women and girls.
