1979 Warsaw gas explosion
The 1979 explosion at PKO Bank Polski’s Rotunda office in Warsaw took place on February 15, 1979, at 12:37 p.m. As a result, 49 people died and 135 were injured.〔(Polish TV webpage, Wybuch Rotundy by Anita Blinkiewicz, Bartosz Pawłowski, 15.02.2010 )〕 Officially, the tragedy was caused by a gas explosion,〔(An Explosive History by The Warsaw Voice, February 25, 2004 )〕 but in the course of time much speculation appeared, and Varsovians talked among themselves that the building had been blown up by a bomb.〔(Plotki o wybuchu w Rotundzie by Jerzy S. Majewski, Tomasz Urzykowski, Gazeta Wyborcza, 14.02.2009 )〕 Furthermore, to many the explosion served as a harbinger of future changes in Poland.
== Introduction ==
The winter of 1978/1979 was very harsh in Poland, and due to the extreme temperatures and heavy snowfall it was dubbed “the winter of the century”.〔(Attack of the Winter of the Century, Calendar of Poland at polska.pl )〕 Transport in the country came to a standstill, in poorly heated apartments in Warsaw the temperature at night dropped to 7 degrees Celsius, public mood was at a very low level, and the Warsaw poet Tomasz Jastrun, who kept a diary at that time, said: "People were expecting changes. They were convinced that the current situation had to come to an end, and something would happen. Before the change, people said, there would be signs. One of these signs was the Rotunda explosion”.〔 Satirist Michał Ogórek has said that the explosion was a reflection of the gloomy, chaotic and cold period in Polish history.
