The first of these was on 15 December 1974 with an incendiary bomb placed inside the store on the first floor in the corner nearest the tube exit. The most serious incident took place on December 17, 1983, when a car bomb was detonated, killing six people and wounding ninety. Despite the structural damage, Harrods re-opened three days later.
