The amount of people moving in close to something they were told was a bomb is absolutely mind boggling.
It was a different time, well before 911 & global terrorism.
To be fair, they wont do that again
Like folk touching paint on a surface to see if it's still wet. Lol
It's better to err on the side of caution, especially in a country with a history of IRA bombings (which were often placed in bags) so I genuinely don't understand how these people behaved in such a manner?
@tessfabled4115 Probably the sort of people who failed their o levels at school. Because they were to smart anyway. Complete dunderheads. People shouldn't be in positions of responsibility if they can't be responsible.
A man rang the police to report a bomb that he didn't think was a bomb- and so he decided to ignore the instructions from the police? Why did he bother to call them in the first place?
I think his security guard told him to call the police. More likely he was like okay, okay.
@@elhuddleston17 ohh, well innocent London really grew up that day - no way you'd get people crowding around a bomb now
What an idiot. Happens all the time. Some people in jobs who are not mentally competent to do that job. Dangerous idiotic behaviour. Didn't know what yo do. Even when the police told him standard procedure. He decides not to implement that.
@@David-tt1rb They do Biden
@@user-hu1ii6os6q thank you! People who are bad at their job: that's my little pet peeve. I should name her 🐕(my pet peeve) 'Dib' for "dangerous idiotic behavior"
so bizarre. Moving the bomb around 3 different times on both occasions. And one man even taking the bomb out so he could keep the bag?? Just a strange story
Brits 🤡
That neighbourhood is full of people that have a tendency to steal so there's that.
It’s Brixton, people aren’t so bright there
Well they thought they were getting a head bag for free .HEAD BAGS WERE VERY EXPENSIVE IN THE 90S I was desperate for one but my mum said they cost too much . I would have risked my life for a leather head bag 😂😂
In 1993 the Tesco superstore I worked in as a security officer had a bomb threat called in.
I couldn't believe the management's reaction to It!! They were blasé and ignored my instruction and just told all staff to be "aware" and went back to work!!! Absolute clowns
your pfp guess you were management
Doesn't make a lot of sense for people to gather 'round what's thought to be a bomb😮 I'd have been getting myself out of the area not wanting to go up and take a look at it.
Anybody with any sense would have.
me too 😎👍
absolutely baffling! These people are fascinated by bombs
Never underestimate people's stupidity.
Wow what a casual attitude about a potential bomb-
Yep i concluded likewise- especially considering that police were stooped over examining something that would soon explode - maybe not surprising considering nothing similar had happened- YET. And sadly that naivety would soon vanish forever
Oh the sheer stupidity of people!
I would say naiveté, not stupidity. I felt frustrated personally. It takes an evil person to want to hurt others like this.
goes to show how many people faced with certain situations are fking useless...
What would you do ? Hug the bag until it goes off ?
"There was no warning".... 10 minuten after ignoring calls about a bomb and basically telling a guy he's an idiot after noticing a strange bag with nails, wires and a timer in it
They mean from the bomber, ira would give a warning
He took the bomb out the bag… and took the bag. 😂😂 🙈
Brits 🤡
That one bloke/fellow even takes things that's "nailed down"... Yikes!
Crazy init
I put me hand on me head and there was something sticking out of me head
🤡
It wasn't me brain
And i felt like me head had a creck
The amount of stupidity makes me soooooo angry 😠
I'm angry at the pain and suffering he caused to such lovely people
It's cos it's London
Well they are cokneys,
What did you expect 😂
People in London soon forgot all about the 1970s when just the sight of an abandoned bag would send people running!! IRA bombs were often abandoned holdalls!! Even taking the bomb out and stealing the bag - put it in your car!! NUMPTIES!! 😳
RIGHT?!!🤦🏻♀
IRA attacked pubs frequented by soldiers. They also gave warnings to civilians to stay away.
The IRA were still killing in targeted attacks and against civilians during the 80s on mainland U.K they killed many Royal Marines ( school of music ) from my home town in Deal in 1989.
No one forgot about the IRA.
RIP to the people who died, its unbelievable that someone could think in the way he did.
It’s not that unbelievable. You just have to be conditioned by society in a certain way.
You fell for the spin...with an IQ of a 12yr old,who built those devices? The unaliving of a certain TV personality is directly linked, it was a,"Look over here?" moment, to deflect attention, by those really behind it!
Sorry a crowd of people gathering around a bomb????? Im sorry what????????
The way this was dealt with is shocking.
6 life sentences and you recommend he should serve a minimum of 35 years?
Utterly pathetic sentence.
We have LWOP. Look it up.
Yes, but people sentenced to life without parole have also been released, many before 35 years. I think the earliest one I can remember was 12 years, after killing a baby.
@@Erebus.666. LWOP means just that. NO ONE sentenced to LWOP is ever paroled. Good grief. Look it up ffs.
If you really think nobody sentenced to LWOP ever got out early, either you live under a rock, or you go around with your head up your a*s. It happens pretty regularly actually.
The invaders get much, much shorter sentences for much worse
@@Britannia327 100 percent
We were terrified .Me and my friends were there and nearby alllllll the time. Both in the market and in Old compton st.
Did you also go towards a suspected bomb to have a look? 😂
Sorry but I can't get over how careless people were. OK if you don't panic, but WHAT reason would you have to go to it only to have a look. To quench your curiosity..
His "i feel nothing" reminds me of the evan peters' character in American horror story
6 life sentences = 35 years? I'd argue those are poor math skills. Fortunately, I don't think he's getting out ... ever.
2:29 Eddy Grant, Electric Avenue song
your jumping 2 conkiers ons 🤣
Who were the men spotted on the roof across the road before this happened.
I was due to meet a friend in The Admiral Hardy that night. We were both late.
They gathered round to get a look at the bomb 💣 😅
In the nid 90s i moved to London for a chef job with my boyfriend .we had to many bags and so when we were in the underground we would move one bag 5 metres and then go and get the other bags and so on .within 20 seconds of doing this we almost caused a bomb scare on the underground. Everyone was so alert to suspicious bags or parcels left unattended because of the IRA. So I'm surprised that people weren't more cautious when they saw the unattended bag. Because those days people did used to live in fear of the IRA
I think someone wanted to keep the bag. Why on earth would you even move it?
Im five minutes in and this market is filled w dummies.
Sorry to the victims. Maybe next time call the police in the first 1hr
So they told him to evacuate and he went “nah, lemme take a closer look”
I don’t understand when I deal with we clearheaded area and get the police to resolve and here the police take it seriously that is in South Africa. I don’t understand how everyone was casual including the police not very good it’s a disregard for people safety.
Most useless folk who never called the cops with haste and emergency!
Not one had the sense to either put it in an empty concrete or stone walled room, boot of a car under a front seat of a car etc.
To be honest I wouldn’t have done any of the things you’ve suggested. I would have called the police definitely but thinking of where to put it? No. I would have stayed away from it like some people did at first
😳😳it was obviously a bomb. People's behaviour is beyond belief. Its a bomb...RUN
And don't cover the bomb with blankets or anything....
Why was the information about the fireworks shared? Wish they would remove that portion of the video
Sigh...
What fools!
He resembles one of the menendez bros
se deram seis penas de prisão perpétua, não tem que se falar em sair em 35 anos, ou é perpétua ou não é..pois se for não deve sair nunca
That kid was cracked on his noggin'...
Question is, why didn't he ask the bomb squad to disable the bomb or move it to a remote area.
Cus he wanted the leather head bag .they were expensive back in the 90s 😂
Call 999, alert people, and stay away from the bomb.
How foolish all those who treated this as a hoax.
London for you
Many potentian Darwin awards in this one..
In fairness, it is a difficult balancing act because, on the one hand, we don't want to be too nonchalant and just pick up a bag we see lying around somewhere presuming that it's just a harmless bag that someone left or forgot, that would be very foolish and naive, yet, at the same time we don't want to go over the top, cause panic and get a whole street shut down over what might turn out to be just a bag of tools or shopping that someone might have simply forgotten. Not many will thank you for that either.
So, where do we draw the line?🤔 Well, that's the problem, nobody really knows, not even the police. Remember, the emergency services will be getting calls all of the time and they have to make a quick judgement as to whether the danger is real or someone just being hysterical, or someone pranking them or if it's the real deal. Someone might call the emergency services when they see a bag on the floor and when the police or possibly bomb disposal experts turn up and it transpires it was just an empty bag or something, they might be made to feel like a fool who has wasted their time, even though it might not be said in so many words.
In hindsight, if someone ignores a bag that has been left around or moves it and if it turns out to be an explosive device and someone is injured or killed, people will criticise others and say "Hey, you shouldn't have picked it up and put it over there, you should have just left it and called the police" and "You should have done this" and "You should have done that" etc but that's all with the benefit of the aforementioned hindsight.
We all live in the moment, not in hindsight. Remember, it's the terrorists who are to blame, not innocent members of the public who may have been naive, and terrorists only have to be lucky once, we have to be alert ALL the time, 24/7 and realistically, that's actually not possible, so we need to give each other a break and not be so critical of someone who might have done things differently to how you think you would have, you don't really know unless you're in that exact moment and that exact situation. Thanks.
I wounder where he is at now in the prison system ...do you think he will ever make realse ....
i think he lost his nail in the back of his bmw
yes, yes, yes. they all acted foolishly. However, the fact that the police were able to pick the guy out in 1999 CCTV! Amazeballs! those folks are the very beginning of what the Brits now call super recognizers. leave it to the British to find specific jobs for one’s specific talent, even something not thought of as a talent is a talent! I believe every culture and every country can learn from this type of celebration in one’s potential. Every human being would be able to have a job if the world operated this way. Every human being can do some thing super well that no one else can possibly do.
Incompetent
The bomb in Brixton has a strange sub plot.
Opposite the Iceland store eye witness said they saw people on the roof taking photos of the street below.
This was a couple of minutes before the blast.
This was touched on in the crimewatch programme shortly after the bombing.
Jill Dando seems to have realised its significance on camera, but this information was never taken any further..she was killed that weekend.
Now, the building i have talked about has a strange sculpture placed on it.
Its a fox and a couple of cherries.
This was not part of any remembrance and if you ask locals most were not even aware of it, it seems to have been erected overnight at some point.
As for the bomber... he wore the same white baseball cap whilst placing each bomb. Making himself very visible even on the small amount of cameras of the time..
In my opinion theres more to this, suggesting other players in this case. The 2 red flags being the people on the rooftop taking pictures prior to the blast and the white baseball cap.. a basic intelligence technique used to track their own people in crowded and urban areas.
As for Jill Dando... maybe she was assassinated because she knew too much.
It has as much validity as all the other mooted reasons.
Jill was killed by Serbians. Not everything is a conspiracy.
This case has Gerry "The GPO Enginner" written all over it.
Take ur meds brotato chip
I love tin foil hats coming up with conspiracy theories 😢
That was not brixton market
Yes it was!
Mi5 were on the roof watching and witnesses seen people with binoculars watching down at market before bomb went off. They let him set off bombs
I heard that too, some people even phoned the police with their concerns.
@@theresapierce3934I heard a big man comes down chimneys around the world, once a year...must be true 🤷🏾♂️
@@jay4you853Santa is true.
He destroyed so many people. The store manager has so much guilt in him still. It’s not your fault sir!! Hind sight is 20/20. You did what many of us would have done. Sending you love!
Oh well
Like an even dumber version of Anders Breivik.
I.Q level in this Country 👉🏾 .01
Asians & blacks aren't bombers. IYKYK
I remember the BNP but it all went quiet.
BNP - brutto national product 😅
These fascists and nazis are still there. The BNPs vote collapsed and they never recovered from that. Plus the antics of Griffin and various other creepoids within the party ensured they were never going to do much beyond getting stuck in court for inciting racial hatred. They are still committed their warped ideology.
I don't think it's much of a reach to look at the rhetoric of the Tory party to see where some of their policies are stolen from and who they appear to.
You're not exactly the brain of Britain are you son?
They kind of faded away
Bro said “heavily armed” like he never seen an American before dude didn’t even have a legit firearm
Are you even aware this happened in England?
Firearms aren't as easily accessible as they are in America.
@@tofu-warrior7948Yes, but even by english standards he wasn't particularly heavily armed, and especially not with conventional weaponry, lest you suggest nails count as 'conventional weapons'.
🤞
Psyop IMO.
Animal
Yet these days anyone with a different opinion tintje left is called far right ….!!
This is why the US frown on yall.
My dude what? Have you seen your government? Your school shootings? Kids are getting shot up DAILY. We look down on YOU ALL. Barely even speak English
This from a country that was so shocked and crippled when 911 happened , that's what happens when you have a complacent attitude, thinking you are immune to terrorism. Having three internal flights get hijacked by terrorists with guns . How many school shootings and mass shooting have you had , at least in the U.K we can send out children to school knowing they are safe.
That's why we look down on the U.S
They should let him out & make him prime minister
David Copeland was a closeted homosexual, I can't see a gay man becoming PM. A homicidal maniac becoming PM, that could well happen
😂
I can't comment on what I really want to comment on due to the snowflake censorship rules of todays society
A lot of males like him feel the same way. The UK has changed and not for the better. The whyte British male often feels like he's lost his place in society
White
White with a captial W mongrel, don't you forget it. This is a White country, you are a guest and will never be British.
@@fionagregory9147 l spelled it that way because RUclips has censored the word before
maybe they should stop crying and pull themselves up by their bootstraps? When youre used to privilege, equality feels like oppression. 😘
You’ll soon be like the native Americans and aboriginal Australians being placed on infertile reserved land living off snails and stinging nettles
It's always a right wing fanatic.
All of the violent " protests" blm, Palestine,
just stop oil are all leftist lunatics.
Liberal logic is based off emotion and ignores fact, logic and common sense.
A 5 yr old boy has more testosterone that those male climate protestors
No it isn’t ? Most suicide bombers or terrorists nowadays and especially the last 25+ years are linked to Islam ….. you are clearly an uneducated soul
@gutless1108Well statistically
I stopped watching for a bit to read some comments . just to see if other people think it stange to stare at a bom so close..
