I was living in the Isle of Dogs at the time of the South Quay bomb. When it exploded, I was sitting at the window studying, but because we were only on the third floor of a tower block, the force of the explosion blew all the windows in near the top and the pressure wave then travelled down the building's heating shaft. As a result, the windows in our flat were blown out rather than in, and I wasn't injured at all. It would have been a different story had we lived further up.
