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.

According to preliminary data of the department, the cause was a gas leak followed by a fire in the car. A 3-year-old child died, a 52-year-old man was seriously injured. The publication, citing eyewitnesses, writes that the explosion occurred when the driver began to warm up the car. He started the engine, put the child in the passenger compartment, closed the door and walked away. During the explosion, the man was thrown back by the shock wave, he hit his head and lost consciousness. Neighboring cars caught fire (these moments were caught on video, they are published by the media and social networks). People who ran up to the car did not know that the child was inside, so they did not try to save it.

Ecuador: Extortion attempt goes fatally wrong as explosives detonate on suspect

In a shocking turn of events, an attempted extortion ended in a explosive death after an individual, suspected of trying to detonate an explosive device at a business in Guayaquil, Ecuador, found the device explode in his hands, resulting in his instant death. The entire incident was captured by a security camera.

The fatal event unfolded on Francisco de Orellana Avenue just before 11:00 p.m., where the accused culprit exited a red car and approached a commercial establishment, aiming to throw an explosive device.

The footage revealed the suspect handling what appeared to be dynamite, which unexpectedly detonated, causing his immediate demise. His companion in the red car hastily fled the scene.

The security camera footage vividly captured the outcome of the accused's actions. Reports from El Telegrafo suggested that the explosive used resembled mining dynamite, highlighting its significant power.

Earlier, the premises' owner had reportedly received extortion threats, leading to demands for payment to maintain peace. Although reports from El Universal indicated that the deceased suspect was a minor under 17 years old, identifying the body in its condition proved to be challenging
