On the evening of 21 November, 1974 explosions occurred almost simultaneously in two crowded public houses in the centre of Birmingham. Of the 21 people who died, 18 were killed outright and 3 died later in hospital. All 21 cases showed the terrible multiple injuries associated with close proximity to a powerful explosion within a confined space. Although all the victims suffered one or more injuries which alone would have been fatal, certain patterns of injury were noted which, if appreciated early in any future similar incident, may help to save the lives of those who are futher removed from the centre of the explosion or exposed to one of lesser force.
1974年11月21日晚，伯明翰市中心两家拥挤的酒馆几乎同时发生爆炸。在遇难的21人中，18人当场死亡，3人随后在医院死亡。所有21例都显示出与在密闭空间内近距离接触强烈爆炸相关的可怕多处损伤。尽管所有受害者都遭受了一处或多处单独就可能致命的损伤，但仍注意到了某些损伤模式，如果在未来任何类似事件中能尽早认识到这些模式，可能有助于挽救那些离爆炸中心较远或受到较小爆炸力影响的人的生命。
