ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio WM Documentary

Available for over a year

Twenty-one people were killed and 182 were injured when the IRA bombed two Birmingham city centre pubs in 1974. Many of the victims were young people enjoying a night out with friends. It was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in British history. Exactly forty years on, on 21 November 2014, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ WM broadcast a one hour documentary to commemorate this terrible event. The first part of the programme was created as a real time minute-by-minute depiction of that night. The first bomb exploded at 8.17pm, with the second ten minutes later.
