BU21 by Stuart Slade

Synopsis:
The passenger plane exploded over Battersea Bridge. Downed by a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, it span through the air, clipping the trees over the heads of the sunbathers on Parsons Green, and obliterating the junction just before Wandsworth Bridge Road. Out of a massive fireball, the engine bounced down the New Kings Road towards Putney.

BU21 imagines a major terrorist incident in London in the near future. Six survivors tell their stories, each recounting events they witnessed on the day in graphic detail and the effects on their lives as part of a support group. Sarah lost her mother; Marcus, a hedge funder, his cheating girlfriend. Gini was making a cheese sandwich when a man landed - "wee-bop" - in her back garden, still strapped into his seat, still momentarily alive. White van man Micky wound up a national hero.
