The 1996 Manchester bombing was an attack carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 15 June 1996. The IRA detonated a 1,500-kilogram (3,300 lb) lorry bomb on Corporation Street in the centre of Manchester, England. It was the biggest bomb detonated in Great Britain since the Second World War. It targeted the city's infrastructure and economy and caused significant damage, estimated by insurers at £700 million (equivalent to £1.4 billion in 2021), a sum surpassed only by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing, also by the IRA.

I'll never forget that day, I live 5 minutes away and you could feel it. Town was destroyed, I've no idea how nobody was killed.

Yeah it really was a miracle nobody died. That officer/security guard really has a pair standing next to a lorry full of live explosives directing people to get away from it. A truly selfless act.

Yes I know that, they usually did. Sometimes not quick enough as in the case of the two boys that died in Warrington.

And the over 1500 civilians killed in Northern Ireland, but that stats blames all sides, which is fair really. Using violence is sure to bring death, misery and content for here I guess.

Hey listen I'm not blaming either side. I've never really educated myself on the troubles of uk/Ireland. There should be no fighting anywhere but sadly our leaders never learn from it. Although I would like to think the everyday people are more aware that war is not the answer.

This post box near the lorry famously withstood the blast and is still in use
