Sandra Aranha
Account of the IRA bomb on Ebury Bridge Road, London, on 10 October
1981
I was in Ebury Bridge Road that fateful day on 10 October 1981. The service
station across the road from where the van containing the bomb had been
positioned, was being renovated and when the bomb went off, my first thought
was that the service station had exploded. It wasn't until soldiers from
CheIsea Barracks showed up a few minutes after the explosion that I realised
it was an IRA [Irish Republican Army] bomb.
I worked at a travel agency called ‘Capricorn Travel’ and we had two offices in
the small strip of shops – one at No. 37 and another at No. 27 Ebury Bridge
Road – directly opposite ‘The Rising Sun’ pub.
In fact, that morning around 9.00 am on my way to work, I met John, one of
the proprietors of the pub. He was helping a couple of guys to push the van
(which had the day before been parked on the corner of St. Barnabas Street
beside the pub), to its final position on Ebury Bridge Road.
After being showered in shattered glass and other debris, and flung across
our office floor at No. 27, I was outdoors in seconds and tried to help as much
as I could. I first checked on my colleague at No. 37, the closest shop to the
van. Even though he was in terrible shock and had sustained some cuts as a
result of the office window shattering inwards, he was very lucky to be
shielded by the walls of the building.
I think Nora Field passed away on the footpath. I recall holding her hand for a
moment or two but then went to assist a soldier that was in great distress, off
the targeted bus. He was bleeding profusely from the head (his scalp had
blown off) and when the ambulances arrived, I helped him (and his scalp) into
one.
It was so sad to hear of John Breslin's death; he sometimes washed our cars
for a few extra pounds in his pocket. I'm pretty sure he was there that
morning to collect our car keys for the same purpose and I recall seeing him
and bidding him good morning just a few yards from the van just before the
explosion.
I recall running to the hairdresser, which was the first shop in the row at the
opposite end from No 37, and after assisting the hairdresser and her elderly
women clients to get away from the mayhem, I grabbed as many towels as I
could and handed them out to the injured that needed them.
In the aftermath of the incident I was one of the people interviewed by ITN for
a news item broadcast on 11 October 1981.
�These days, I still struggle sometimes from the aftermath of that horrible
Saturday morning and wonder how Nora and John's family have coped with
their loss. It's good to see that sites like CAIN try to keep their memory alive.
As a 21 year old Indian born Australian, I had no relatives in the UK at the
time, so felt quite alone. For ages afterwards I ducked under my desk at the
slightest loud noise in the street.
I was in a car accident in 2006 – someone had back-ended me – and when
the rear window of my car shattered all over me, my first thought was I had
been in yet another bomb attack. Soon after the bombing in 1981, I
developed a hideous nervous eczema and after the shattering glass incident
of my car accident, I got exactly the same eczema once again.
I now live in Byron Bay, NSW Australia and am a stand-up comedian and
columnist.

Description
An account of the resource
"<strong>Forthspring</strong> has worked since 1997 to build relationships between neighbouring Protestant and Catholic communities in West Belfast. The <strong>5 Decades Project</strong> grew out of a desire to examine these communities' very different experience of living through the 'Troubles', with the goal of developing a shared, but not agreed, account of the conflict and its impact.<br /> Experiences and memories were gathered through storytelling in small groups from the same community background, roughly structured around the 5 decades beginning with the 1960s. There were also opportunities to share and hear stories from other communities. Over 150 people have taken part." <br /> Forthspring 5 Decades Project. (2014). 'Talking About The Troubles'.
