Where is this "heavy" or "good" media coverage? The https://www.nytimes.com/1975/01/28/archives/6-bombs-go-off-in-england-after-ira-talks-19-are-hurt-in-a.html New York Times says {{tq|The 19 were Injured, none seriously, authorities said, in Lewis's, a popular department store in Manchester. Two were admitted to hospitals}}, that's 21 words. ''The Provisional IRA in England: the bombing campaign, 1973-1997'' by Gary McGladdery says on page 100 {{tq|On 27 January devices exploded at a number of stores across England, including Lewis's Department Store in Manchester where fourteen people were injured, and Ratners jewellers in Kensington High Street in London where four people were injured}}, that's 23 words and he doesn't even give the incident a full sentence of its own. CAIN have 11 words on the incident, Moysey 21 words and again not a full sentence. So that's two authors years after the event who don't even give the incident a full sentence of its own. A similar book about IRA's campaign in England, ''25 Years of Terror: The IRA's war against the British'' by Martin Dillon, doesn't even mention this bombing at all.  says {{tq|Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomenon|viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually '''not notable''' unless something further gives them additional enduring significance}}. Where's the enduring significance? Books about the IRA's campaign in England give it less than a sentence of coverage, if they even mention it at all
— NONE, NONE
