A sad day! Also a very lengthily British / IRA conflict. I remember being in London and being made to be aware of packages (IEDs/Backpacks etc.) left without an obvious owner on mass transit. Too bad we can't make certain "Targets" off-limits to all parties involved in a conflict. All's Fair in Love and War doesn't cut it!

I was also in London during time, and married the missus at Kensington Town Hall on 31 October 1975. You’re right, we all became jittery about unattended bags left
on “Tube” platforms and in recessed doorways. It was a difficult time for the British people.
