Bloody Sunday

play.
mark.
next.

1:16:00
We need to secure that area.
1:16:02
We need to get the weapons
1:16:03
off the shooters
on the barricade.

1:16:05
Right, sir.
1:16:06
Company Sergeant Major.
1:16:07
Sir.
1:16:08
I've got to go and see
the general and the TV cameras.

1:16:11
We've just fired a fucking
horrendous amount of ammunition.

1:16:14
We've got to know why
1:16:15
and we've got
to have some weapons.

1:16:17
Right, sir.
1:16:21
Sir.
1:16:22
What's the situation
on the barrier?

1:16:24
Picked up three, uh-- three...
1:16:26
Looked, looked fucked, sir.
Gray as hell. Uh...

1:16:30
So we have three dead confirmed?
1:16:32
Three dead, three confirmed.
1:16:33
Let's get them back
to the RMP to confirm

1:16:35
Did you find any,
anything on them? Any weapons?

1:16:37
Nothing. No, no weapons there
at all, sir.

1:16:38
Have you searched the barricade?
1:16:39
You've searched the barricade?
1:16:41
As quick as we could, sir, yeah.
The pockets.

1:16:42
-There's no hidden weapons?
-Nothing.

1:16:44
-Empty cases?
-Nothing.

1:16:45
-Fuck's sake.
-Okay.

1:16:46
We fired three rounds... um...
1:16:48
Okay, who were you engaging?
1:16:49
No one, sir. I was firing at...
1:16:51
What do you mean, "No one"?
1:16:52
There was...
The crowd was advancing, sir.

1:16:54
I had... I had no backup.
1:16:55
I had to move the crowd.
1:16:57
"C" squadron were... arresting,
uh, guys further back.

1:16:59
They-They were all
just coming at us.

1:17:01
I had to move them back, sir.
1:17:03
So you put down rounds
to warn the crowd?

1:17:05
A warning shot?
1:17:06
To move the crowd.
1:17:07
Okay, we will talk
about that later.

1:17:08
People are alleging
on the Bogside

1:17:10
that the Army went in today,
firing indiscriminately.

1:17:12
Let's get this absolutely clear.
1:17:14
One Para went in
and came under fire.

1:17:16
They did not fire back
until they were fired at.

1:17:19
I believe we fired three rounds
1:17:22
after receiving something
between ten and 20.

1:17:25
Three rounds? It seems,
that seems a very low figure.

1:17:27
I mean, I've personally seen
three dead bodies here today.

1:17:30
Well, of course,
they may very well not

1:17:31
have been killed
by our soldiers.

1:17:33
We have three dead bodies.
1:17:34
There were another
three casualties

1:17:35
inflicted by mortars...
1:17:36
All right, that's all right.
That's all right.

1:17:38
Colonel, General Ford is saying
it's absolutely urgent

1:17:40
that you speak to him now
down at barrier 12.

1:17:42
You must go.
1:17:43
I think most of the gunmen are
up there.

1:17:45
I'm gonna go back to the general
1:17:46
and the press
with the three dead.

1:17:47
You've got to find
some justification.

1:17:48
-We're working on it now.
-All right.

1:17:50
I'm securing here.
1:17:51
I'll report
back to you as soon as.

1:17:52
Seven-Six. I can see
some photographers

1:17:54
at the Rossville flats.
1:17:56
They're taking photographs
of a civil rights banner

1:17:59
covered in blood. Over.
