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!
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
@@invisibleman4827 bah ha ha ha errr they knew if killed hundreds there would be a war on them every force no stone left un turned funny how they went super quite when the world declared war on terror. Were did you even get point two from (thin air?) where does proud come from? your obviously one of those Muppets who reads emotion/intention etc... in a bit of text that isn't there. I bet you judge the 70's by todays standards tooo lol
I was working at a restaurant called The Grinch on chapel walk off cross st when it happened.we were the last to be evacuated after the blast .what a sight we all seen walking to police vans waiting it was very scary and moving at the same time .I’ll never forget that day 🙏
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
There's footage of the van parked up hazards flashing but wheres the footage of the van arriving at the guys getting out and leaving iv read they had hats on a sunglasses so they were seen leaving the van for sure 😎
@@Eoghandillon7 people in the north of england had a lot of sympathies for Ireland. Then the IRA started bombing the north for some reason Should have kept it at Westminster
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
Abandoned lorry, illegally parked, no sign writing, the IRA very much in full swing. I imagine it was reported and the police searched and found the bomb
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! !
I was in the back garden heard an almighty explosion then saw it on the news 🥺

Who was filming that truck from the helicopter? And why? What are the chances of somebody filming the vehicle at the moment of explosion?
