My father worked nights at the 大象传媒 in Piccadilly, Manchester. One night during the Manchester Blitz there was no transport, so he walked 5 miles from Eccles to the office in Manchester. Bombs were falling all around him, and he described how shop fronts were blown out and produce from the shops ended up on the pavement.
When he finally arrived at the 大象传媒 offices, he was asked for his impressions and he broadcast what he had just seen and experienced. This was also broadcast in America.
