Portadown Bomb 1993 Raw footage & inside buildings

The IRA bombing campaign
Portadown was greatly affected by the Provisional IRA's bombing campaign from 1970 onwards.Large swathes of the High Street and West Street were destroyed on several occasions by large explosions from car/van bombs and improvised explosive devices as were a number of side streets and at various locations elsewhere in the town. The biggest bomb of them all, was the IRA bomb of May 1993. Wikipedia

You gotta love a good blast, and boy could the I.R.A.give spectaculars.

[@blumenfee3]

I used to live in Carleton Street at that time in one of Brian Gillespie´s flats and because we "enjoyed" the blast so much, we got a repeat performance five years later.
