You cannot lock someone in a black cab other than with the brake pedal pushed. I should know, I drove one. You can put the brake on until they pay, then you have to put the handbrake on, and release the brake to let them out.  The only report I saw earlier said the driver 'locked the person in' or 'engaged the child lock' before getting out. I don't know any licensed vehicles where you can deadlock someone in.  You can't have childlocks on in licensed PHVs, certainly not in Sheffield (although there are exceptions, I'm among several drivers who have a certificate to pick up highly vulnerable people (with an escort).  Maybe these days they are cars where you can press a button and it locks people in, but I would be surprised. Taxi or not, it's too dangerous. So if its not a black cab then, are you suggesting something is amiss there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Probably with the stories.  Watch the footage.  It blew up with the driver in it! I'm amazed he is alive after seeing it tbh. And glad! That could have been any innocent person/people. Taxi driver, shop worker, random person on the street etc..  As for what actually happened, I don't know why people insist on 'instant answers'  It takes time to work out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They are saying that possibly only the detonator exploded and the main bomb didn't. Like Ash says, it takes a while to work out what happened.

I doubt you'd want anyone of your friends or family that close to it.  I think the position of the seats, and maybe even if he had a Covid barrier, might have given the driver a better chance.  If the bomber got into the hospital with that, and got near an oxygen supply or something, it might be a different story.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

But the blast from the detonator is enough to kill someone very close to it  Its probably hydrogen peroxide which is very difficult to get the formula right.  This happened in the failed 21 July 2005 London bombings  Heres a picture of the failed explosive on a london bus.  Edited November 15, 2021 by Jack Grey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
