Answer 2

Bloody Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Fola) is the term used to describe an incident in Derry, Northern Ireland, on 30 January 1972 in which 26 civil rights protesters were shot by members of 1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment led by Lieutenant-Colonel Derek Wilford and his second-in-command Captain Mike Jackson, who had joint responsibility for the operation; during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city. Thirteen people, six of whom were minors, died immediately, while the death of another person 4½ months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. Two protesters were injured when run down by army vehicles.[1] Many witnesses including bystanders and journalists testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back.

Bloody Sunday

.The term "Bloody Sunday" was also used to describe the murder in Dublin, Ireland (Nov. 21, 1920), of 11 Englishmen suspected of being intelligence agents, by the Irish Republican Army; the Black and Tans took revenge and attacked spectators at a football (soccer) match, killing 12 and wounding 60.

Answer 4

There were two: one in 1920 when the English machine-gunned spectators at a football match after locking them in, and one in the early 70s when the English killed 13 unarmed Irish protesters (6 of them children). Seeing a pattern yet?

Answer 5

Your dad lived through Bloody Sunday?? Wow, give him a hug from me.

Bloody Sunday was in '72(or 73, I get my years mixed up) in Derry, Ireland, when a group of unarmed, peaceable protesters were protesting the government rule. Army helicopters flew overhead and opened fire, and,again if my facts are right, at least 13 died that day, and I think one more died a bit later.

One of the biggest atrocities against civil rights that I have ever heard of, and I was so proud of Bono for making it known in the song.
