Re: Belfast
Been over there many times, especially in childhood and teens due to many relatives there. I've seen a few things over there, ie, provocation, fisticuffs, smell of burning rubber from tanks, etc., but never a bomb. That was until the early nineties in London, walking across Waterloo Bridge in the direction of the Royal Festival Hall, where a bomb went off as I was approaching. It was a strange experience, not how I imagined it. I found myself ducking a split second before I actually heard the bomb, which was a piercing crack rather than a boom.
