Somewhere I posted a picture of that car after the bomb went off. I'll see if I can find it. Fascinating story, they've never identified the remains of the robber.

Thats before. He was in many pieces and the money was all over the place.

I was working in Halifax in 1973 when this happened, I dont remember it. We were robbed by a gang from Montreal around the same time, I was outside and saw them go it, they fired a slug through the front of the bank on the way in .
There was 3 or 4 of them, they caught all of them the next day at a motel.

I watched that too. There was a dog locked in that Pontiac that you can see jump out and run after the explosion.

Yes, I sure saw that and sure felt bad for him. Talk about trauma.

Bad part of that scene is the image of the lower 1/2 of a human leg with the shoe still on the foot.

I didn't watch the video with sound and maybe they mentioned it but apparently years later they found a shoe on the roof of the building across the street and it was from that explosion.

I haven't watch the W5 documentary and still plan to when I get time. Did they say if he's ever been identified?

Found part of his handgun on a roof many years later. They were trying to get the coroner to exhume the body to do current dna, they cant find that original evidence.
