The terror attacks in Oslo and at Utøya 22. July 2011 was a shock for little, peaceful Norway. Until then, terror was something that harmed others.

Other places, far away. In 189 minutes, a cold and rainy summer afternoon

in July 2011, we experienced that terror can also happen here.

77 persons were killed in the terror attacks 22. July 2011. 69 at Utøya and 8 in the Government Centre. The reason why the police announced that 80 were killed at Utøya on the night of 23. July (as written at the end of the timeline)

was that one of the places at Utøya was counted twice. Therefore, the number was 80, and not 69, as it was later corrected to.

Many of those killed at Utøya were young, the youngest was a girl. She was

14 years old. In addition to those killed, many were were subjected to physical injuries and psychological trauma, both in Oslo and at Utøya. For many of those who survived, those left behind and those affected, life will never be the same again. The ones killed and injured were from all over Norway. Every fourth person who lived in Norway in 2011 knew someone that were directly affected.
