Having had the opportunity to talk to the parties involved in the London subway bomb attacks in July 2005, the lessons learnt are reviewed. While the initial responses of those interviewed followed the format of the Major Incident Medical Management and Support (MIMMS) system, someproblems became apparent. From viewpoints of traumatology, the blast injuries attracted medical attention after the attack, the introduction of tourniquets to the attacked field was introduced after the Boston Marathon Bombing (2013) and the Paris Attack (2015). We should prepare the unforeseen attacks at the time of Tokyo Olympic/Paralympic 2020 as an international responsibility.
