The Huntly rail bridge bombing
from The Unanswered Questions Podcast
The Huntly rail bridge bombing occurred on the Glen Afton (or Awaroa) Branch, near Huntly, New Zealand around 3 AM on 30 April 1951, when high explosives were set off on a railway bridge. The bombing took place amid the 1951 New Zealand waterfront dispute, an industrial dispute over the working conditions and wages of dockworkers. Characterised by the-then Prime Minister Sidney Holland as an act of terrorism, the bombing caused no casualties, even though a morning passenger train ran over the weakened bridge. The perpetrators remain unknown.Contact Info:Gmail: [email protected]: https://twitter.com/crimeunsolvedBlogger: https://theunansweredquestionspodcast.blogspot.comInstagram: mr_unsolved_podcasterYouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@theunansweredquestionspodc9107/featuredhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/unsolvedpodcast/membershipPodcast Episode: shows.acast.com/the-unanswered-questions-podcast#truecrime #unsolved #mystery Hosted on Acast.
