Ed Glinert explains the story of the 1996 bomb & if you think it was the IRA & the pillar box is the one that survived the explosion, mmm.
28 years after one of the most infamous Manchester incidents since the Second World War, when much of central Manchester was blown up, we detail the story:
* The authorities' desperate attempts to minimise casualties in the frenetic build-up to the will-it/won’t it go off moment.
* The moment of impact itself.
* The intense police investigation to bring the bombers to justice.
* The political repercussions and how it all ended in chaos and botched redevelopment. * If you think it was necessarily the IRA, then you need to have a look at MI9's files. * Oh and that pillar box. If you think it’s the one that survived the explosion, thern think again. Come on our tour!
