Jordan North dad: Who is Jordan's war hero father? Family's Omagh bomb scare

The Omagh bombing was a car bombing which took place on August 15, 1998, in County Tyrone.

The attack was carried out by the Real IRA, which is a separate group from the Provincial Irish Republican Army (IRA).

A total of 29 people were killed in the bombing and more than 200 were injured, which made the incident one of the deadliest during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Jordan recalled how his dad was in the Army for 24 years, and his battalion had been posted to Omagh in 1997.

He said that on the day of the bombing, in 1998, he and his family were planning on visiting Omagh town, but they decided against it.

They were lucky to have changed their plans, as they could still hear the bomb going off whilst walking in Gortin Glen.
