1) The IRA did it to syltop others claiming their bombings, they never did it to stop killing from happening. 2) It's not something to be proud of, like saying someone isn't guilty of murder because they threatened to do so first

I remember walking through Manchester in 1997 for ages.... The windows were all put in with the blast. Horrific! Glad nobody died.... I also saw the bin site in Warrington where the two poor boys were murdered..... Shocking! No we have the mozzer threat EVERYWHERE!

So strange that this happened on the day Paul Gascoigne scored that goal against Scotland, maybe football saved people that day by being elsewhere! I knew the authorities cleared the area and the perpetrators also made things known to save innocent lives, im glad the casualties were minimal, but the damage was huge

Who was filming that truck from the helicopter? And why? What are the chances of somebody filming the vehicle at the moment of explosion?
@RobTaylor Жыл бұрын
The IRA would always phone the UK Authorities with an agreed code word to confirm a bomb. So they knew the van had a bomb in it and evacuated the area before it exploded. They had a also sent a bomb disposal robot to it before it exploded to confirm it wasn’t a hoax. This is why the cameras were focused on the van. I don’t believe it was filmed from a helicopter, it would have been from a nearby building. I worked in a law firm a few streets away and it blew the windows out of the building

So why wasn't the fire service allowed into the most recent Manchester bombing, to help, for....what was it?? 90 minutes?? Please don't say....because of fear of a second blast because it didn't bother the brave firefighters in '96?? I'm 100% sure I know why. I would just like to hear your explanation and explain the difference please! !
