It was designed to stop blasts. And it was using improvised weapons - I believe at this point Gaddafi's socialist Libya had not sent their weapons to support the IRA yet (like Semtex). Only the USSR did, and it was only small weapons, not explosives. (and it was not to the provisional IRA i think.)

@@richardpotts7902 Not really. In civilian warzones with foreign military occupation, there are few military targets - it's a case of people rebelling for their freedom. The Europa was once the most bombed hotel in the world, yet there was not a single fatality. That's because the bombs were always pre-warned, evacuations were allowed beforehand, and key buildings targeted to ensure a big statement was made.
@@skeletalwreck the Europa wasn't even the most bombed hotel in Europe never mind the world. In northern Ireland there were plenty of military targets for terrorists to choose from. But as these would have had a security presence, it was easier to choose a soft target. Over 10.000 bombs were detonated in the war over here. Most of these were used against civilian rather than military targets.
@@richardpotts7902 I really don't care about how many times the place was bombed or what title it claims to hold in many publication. I am sure there were other hotels bombed more. Feel free to crown them the champion. The Loyalist paramilitary modus operandi was to go into actual civilian catholic homes, masked, and murder directly. That was an intentional strategy that was specifically confirmed as a strategy by Billy Wright and Johnny Adair during the height of the troubles. Especially when targetting the West Tyrone brigade of republican's. At the time, I lived just next door to Kathleen O'Hagan. In the middle of the night while her husband was not at home, the UVF broke in and murdered in her in front of her children. She was pregnant. Her 4 sons aged from 4 to 8 held her bullet riddled dead body for hours until their father returned. This was part of a long list of similar home invasion murders carried out by loyalists - who were also in collusion with the official authorities in the country at the time. There is evil on both sides of any war, but the loyalist tactics far outweighed republican freedom fighters in their savagery against civilians. Growing up surrounded by this environment, bombings of an evacuated hotel really barely raised an eyebrow - so I really couldn't care less if it ever held any titles for being the most bombed or not. ✌

Erin go Bragh! Never attack innocent civilians!
This is literally a video of the IRA bombing a civilian target. How clever are you😂😂😂😂
@@richardpotts7902 Not really. In civilian warzones with foreign military occupation, there are few military targets - it's a case of people rebelling for their freedom. The Europa was once the most bombed hotel in the world, yet there was not a single fatality. That's because the bombs were always pre-warned, evacuations were allowed beforehand, and key buildings targeted to ensure a big statement was made.
@@skeletalwreck the Europa wasn't even the most bombed hotel in Europe never mind the world. In northern Ireland there were plenty of military targets for terrorists to choose from. But as these would have had a security presence, it was easier to choose a soft target. Over 10.000 bombs were detonated in the war over here. Most of these were used against civilian rather than military targets.
@@richardpotts7902 I really don't care about how many times the place was bombed or what title it claims to hold in many publication. I am sure there were other hotels bombed more. Feel free to crown them the champion. The Loyalist paramilitary modus operandi was to go into actual civilian catholic homes, masked, and murder directly. That was an intentional strategy that was specifically confirmed as a strategy by Billy Wright and Johnny Adair during the height of the troubles. Especially when targetting the West Tyrone brigade of republican's. At the time, I lived just next door to Kathleen O'Hagan. In the middle of the night while her husband was not at home, the UVF broke in and murdered in her in front of her children. She was pregnant. Her 4 sons aged from 4 to 8 held her bullet riddled dead body for hours until their father returned. This was part of a long list of similar home invasion murders carried out by loyalists - who were also in collusion with the official authorities in the country at the time. There is evil on both sides of any war, but the loyalist tactics far outweighed republican freedom fighters in their savagery against civilians. Growing up surrounded by this environment, bombings of an evacuated hotel really barely raised an eyebrow - so I really couldn't care less if it ever held any titles for being the most bombed or not. ✌
The Brits did and didn’t care at all
Who stayed there?
They've just planted a bomb inside the hotel so let's stand out it and do an interview
