A bomb fell directly on the ventilator shaft, measuring only about three feet by one. This was the only vulnerable place in a powerfully- protected underground sholter accommodating over 1,000 people.

The bomb fell just as families from scores of nearby streets were settling down in the shelter to sleep there for the night.

Three of four roof support pillars were torn down. About 50 people lay

stunned in heaps.
