EDITORS COMMENTS
In a devastating incident that shook the Fengate industrial estate at Peterborough, Cambs in March 1989, tragedy struck as a van packed with explosives detonated, claiming the life of a courageous fireman and leaving over 80 people injured. The sheer force of the blast was likened to that of a thousand-pound bomb, obliterating five factories and causing extensive damage to numerous other structures. The horrifying scene unfolded when workers paused their tasks to witness firemen battling flames engulfing the ill-fated van. Little did they know that this momentary distraction would have catastrophic consequences. The explosion sent shockwaves rippling through the air, knocking unsuspecting individuals off their feet and violently tearing apart their clothing. The impact extended far beyond those present at ground zero; windows in offices and buildings up to half a mile away were shattered by the immense power unleashed by this act of terror. This haunting photograph captures not only the immediate aftermath but also serves as a stark reminder of an era marred by conflict and unrest. As we reflect on this tragic event from our past, let us remember those who lost their lives or suffered injuries on that fateful day. May it serve as an everlasting testament to the bravery displayed by firefighters who put themselves in harm's way for our safety.
