St. Mary Axe, London
?A car bomb containing an estimated 350 kg of TNT10 was detonated in
the densely built-up St. Mary Axe section of London near midnight on
April 11, 1992, causing extensive damage to a number of neighborhood
buildings. Figure 2-2 is a photograph of the damaged European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, a 10-story tower block atop a
three-story pedestal, located at an estimated 115?160 m from the car
bomb. This building was of modern concrete column and slab
construction with nonbearing masonry walls on the lower three floors.
It was directly shielded from the explosion by another building and
did not suffer significant structural damage; nevertheless, there was
extensive glass damage and attendant hazard potential to personnel.?

I hope this is helpful.

Snap, I was trying to explain to someone, some of the distruction I
witnessed and lived through and was looking for pics,  and there you
are. LOL

Did you tell her about that night you couldn't get home and the police
station blew up (Liverpool Street?, I think) and all the trains and
such were shut down and most of the roads. It was incredible. I was so
scared and didn't have a clue what to do or if I'd see you again in
one piece.

I'm still doing my best to get back there, I loved it.

Anyway, the world is small. I hope you and your other half are well.
