On 7th July 2005, the day of the London bombings, Peter Power was interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Drive Time show.
- Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.[3]
- Power was quoted as saying "At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now"[4]
- Peter Power appears regularly on television and radio news programmes in connection with terrorism and security items. His status as an expert is based upon his widely advertised experiences in the Metropolitan Police: the Brixton Riots, the Libyan embassy siege, the Oxford Circus and Kings Cross Underground fires, and the development of the Gold/Silver/Bronze command structure.[5]
However, since the controversy, Peter Power refuses to answer questions regarding the coincidence.[ref?]
