- A bomb at TVC on 4th March 2001 caused UK viewers to see BBC World presentation for only the second time. A repeat of the previous hour was initially shown before Susan Osman began broadcasting from the Westminster studios at 0100. The clip begins at this point and also includes the signing off at 0130 and a brief mention from Sky News.
I lived nearby and was having a late shower when I heard a low boom sound and felt hair at the back of my neck rise. I had no idea what had happened until many hours later. (There was a thwarted explosion at the Territorial Army barracks around the corner not long after that incident.)
Ironically, 6 months later, I was working at BBC TV Centre on September 11, watching those terrible live events unfold from the TV on my desk.
It was all drama that year.
Really? You worked at BBC?
Thank goodness they were nowhere near the main studio at the time. Wow!
Ko u glitch TV TV TV TV
I love how the reporter starts to say "glass" but changes it to "glarss"
Changing the accents, perhaps?
@H1 CoDoe incorrect lmao. She turned off northern English to southern English.
@Sodham G'morris Eh oop
imagine on real news somebody just goes like because of poisoned candy- sweets.
I think she tried to say glass larmpshade!
I've always thought that the phrase "controlled explosion" is a bit of an oxymoron due to the nature of an explosion itself but in this case I would assume it's related to the fact that the police set off the explosion under controlled conditions (evacuations, cordons, etc) rather than actually controlling the explosion itself.

What do we do for the future with

I was working in north London that night, and noticed the TV had gone to a recording (we had one for a work related purpose), then heard a bang from the west!
No one’s worried about foot-and-mouth disease now...
except my sister’s school.
yep, my sister barely got the disease.
When the BBC had decent talent and dedication to their jobs willing to deal with any situation. You can clearly see that they are shoved in any old corner in Westminister probably not even in a proper studio yet the gallery team manage to play out the titles and music almost perfectly and Sue Osman managing to improvise using paper notes in the absence of an auto cue all to deliver the news to the license payers without knowing whether their closest colleagues are at risk in a bomb infested bui
Legend has it that it was the R.I.R.A. Who can really say. Sure was a blast at the time
I was watching the live news broadcast when this happened! I just remember the newsreader getting up from his desk and running then the screen went black!
was it on News24?
by far the best countdown
You mean that BBC World countdown? Ehhh I wouldn’t say the best.
It also aired on BBC News Channel (Formerly Known as BBC News 24)

It's just part of the orange fence barrier for the roadworks
that must be north korea's idea of a controlled explosion
Coded warning......sounds quaint nowadays.
Carrying on the very long struggle.
The bbc has changed alot
Yes there even more greedy & corrupt now & love bullying old age pensioners to paying there corrupt tax licence fee!!!!!
i remember chatting to someone when it went off
hmm talking about terrorism in 2001...
early 2001
9/11?
ayy boi never expected to see you here
Given that the UK had been hit hard by Irish terrorism for nigh on 70 years at this point it's hardly surprising they'd be talking about it.
@@AnthonyT2210 nope.
Jesus I'd hate to see what an uncontrolled explosion would look like.
I remember i was a children in need worker here
@USSHomestarRunner
A big and loud one, apparently! O.o
yes
Controlled lol looked pretty big.
What the hell kind of controlled explosion was that?!
Back of the wall with a Nokia maybe
this is the internet, dude. if he's not from the U.K., he can still comment on whatever he wants to. so stop crying.
Boom!
West Building
1972

Just think how big it would have been if it hadn't been controlled!
controlled explosion my ass.
So What Happened On The 2001 Breakdown For Red Corner And I Love 1975?
Controlled lol not
I don't remember this.
Oh I do rather well. You can always tell when some say it took say for example say 400lbs of explosive to do that pop.
150lb fertaliser/gas cannisters no semtex there lol TAL!!!!!!
This is so terrible!
Ahhh
If I lived near the BBC station I would go HOLY SHIT!!! and call 911
To phone who? The American cops? It’s 999 in this country!
@@glitch_a 911 just redirects to 999 over here. I tried it once

Bruh, it’s 999 or 112 for the nearest station.
For me in the UAE, It’s the same except for 112.
Fin du relation entre Maroc et Koweit
what does
"bbc bomb" mean?
She gets to tend the rabbits for being calm :3.
yikes
Foot and mouth never hit the Republic of Eire because they went hard on it and nipped in the bud. It's a pity the RIRA did not put them out of action at the time. Look at them now!
Liked
200 yards? LOL!
BBC boom
What’s up with terrorizing the community with bombs and planes in 2001, There was this, 9/11 and others, I guess 2001 was like the modern “1945”
Every year prior to 2001 was like this, 9/11 is when the west put it's foot down and overhauled everything from travel and visas to surveilance and domestic security. Now we have more rules but less terrorists.
Its my birthday 😅😅😅😎😎😎😎
1:31-1:30😂
Me drinking akouna cutely: 👁️👄👁️
Foot in mouth bomb
Up the Reals.
Close bbc arabic tv
Mr. BBC News: ok, we are closing bbc arabic for the next budget cut change.
Why isn't this referred to as a form of "Catholic" terrorism, while we refer to terrorism in the Middle East as "Islamic"?
Because it is not religious terrorism, they were bombing attacks carried out by politically motivated paramilitaries.
Matt Samson we were Inflicting the terror the British was inflicting on us
They don't really do in in the name of religion.
@@BhfuilIAm1312 So many years but I can promise you it was not a Catholic nor Protestant thing. The BBC was and still is a propaganda gobshite
Yeah whatever you say. Or it just was a tiny bit of C4 pushed up in an empty tank? lol. I believe everything the bbc says and well must be true. Never set off by others no way. lol
