I sat next to a terrorist when he blew up a tube train I wasn't meant to be on and lost both my legs, an eye and my spleen

An entrepreneur and campaigner has spoken about how a second chance in life has given him the opportunity to help people with disabilities. Daniel Biddle, at the age of 26, narrowly survived the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London.

The former construction manager had stood only six feet away from Mohammad Sidique Khan when he detonated a bomb on a London tube train on July 7, 2005, which was the first of four bombs that killed 56 people that day.

Daniel was flung out the train and lost both of his legs, his left eye and his spleen. On several occasions he was told he would never survive and yet through tremendous determination and support from his loved ones, Daniel was able to pull through.
