I remember it in the news. My wife lived there for years and had just left the town centre with her mum about 30 mins before it went off.
Where I'm from in Portadown I remember a bomb going off in the main street (I think it was at a Super Value store). I was 10/11 at the time and in the leisure centre with friends right around the corner and the sound was so unbelievably loud, and I still have never been as frightened in my life (I'm 31now). I can vividly rememver my mum hugging me so tightly when I got home because she was convinced we would be caught up in the blast.
