VICTIMS incensed at Disney’s recreation of the 7/7 bomb attacks are still waiting to hear from the streaming giant.
They called on TV bosses to axe parts of the drama which features a blown-up bus in blood-soaked scenes.
Disney has recreated scenes from the 7/7 London attacks, angering survivors still traumatised by the atrocity

Terror victim Daniel Biddle told The Sun on Sunday, which highlighted the grisly scenes last week: “I have heard nothing from them since the outrage.”
Daniel, 43, lost both legs, an eye and his spleen in the 2005 bombings.
He added: “I don’t understand why they needed to recreate the scene of blowing up the bus. They could have used the clips from the news. The very fact Disney has since defended their decision is beyond belief.”
It features the wreck in London’s Tavistock Square, where 13 died.
Show sources said producers have been and will be speaking to people connected to 7/7.
But bus driver survivor George Psaradakis said: “Disney still hasn’t contacted me. I feel bad for others they also didn’t tell, especially people who lost legs and organs. If they’ve rights to film it, I can’t stop them. But 99 per cent of it will not be real.”
Filming took place at the Tube station where innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes was killed by police — but locals were told only it was an “untitled TV drama series”.
A source said they were angry at being kept in the dark in Stockwell, South London.
Mr de Menezes’ cousin, Alex Pereira, said: “The producers’ attitude put me off from the start. They basically said, ‘We’re doing this with or without you’.”
A spokesman for London mayor Sadiq Khan said survivors and families should have been consulted.
Disney said it was treated “with utmost sensitivity”
