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!
