Yes I remember that - Katie Bender - quite tragic. I remember saying to Mr FM we should take the kids to watch and he wouldn't go near it - said it was dangerous and they shouldn't be promoting it as a spectacle. Quite accurate as it turned out
If I remember correctly the person that pushed the plunger, or whatever they do to set the charges off, won the opportunity in a local radio (MIX106.3) competition. Very sad for them as well, I think.
Next July it will be 20 years since it happened.
