The court heard that two massive detonations caused what one witness described as "pure carnage", ripping apart the packed Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs on the night of 21 November killing 21 people and injuring 220 more.
They also found there were no failings, errors or omissions by West Midlands Police's response to the bomb warning call, and further concluded there was no tip-off to the force, giving advanced warning the blasts were going to happen. Coroner Thornton said: "The atrocities of the night of Thursday 21 November 1974 are now etched in the history of Birmingham.
Great that RTE is reporting on the inquest into this appalling atrocity. Can't understand why you are not reporting on BallymurphyMassacre also an appalling atrocity! david_voyle
Botched also the 6 who were beaten into a confession! ! Just because they were irish
Don't think you can blame the bombs for the deaths and excuse the IRA....It was the people that planted them that caused the deaths...and the people who ordered the bombing....Totally pointless killing....
Seems a very obvious conclusion to come to.
But more accurately, the bombs caused the deaths.
