On the 31st October 1971, the Post Office Tower (now the BT Tower) was damaged in an alleged IRA bomb plot; debris from the explosion was hazardous and the fire service struggled to reach the structure. Within hours, Pat Hanifan and his team of scaffolders arrived on the scene to construct a rig to allow access. However, the firemen refused to enter the building, so Coventry cradle-hand Benny Watts stepped up and removed the twisted metal debris himself; he received the BEM for bravery as a result.
