How Robert Cecil Foiled the Gunpowder Plot - Treason: Codes, Spies and Conspiracies

[@keiththorpe9571]

At around 29:25-29:30, the ordinance expert talks about how Fawkes would likely have been killed in the blast, as he wouldn't have been able to escape the blast radius in time. However, that's not what Fawkes and Catesby had planned. Fawkes had fabricated a slow-burning fuse which would have given him some eight hours to make his escape. Now, he was planning to stay within the vicinity of the chamber, in order to ignite the powder more directly if the fuse had failed. If necessary, he was willing to die, but a suicide mission was not Plan A...that was Plan B or even C.

Interestingly, I discovered that one of my distant ancestors was peripherally involved giving a hiding place to his brother in law.

Nope. Too much flashes.

appallingly repetitive. I would like a dollar for every time it was mentioned that this was equivalent to 9/11
