[220] In Belfast, churches were packed, and shipyard workers wept in the streets. Lawrence Beesley described the sound as "a harsh, deafening boom that made conversation difficult; if one imagines 20locomotives blowing off steam in a low key it would give some idea of the unpleasant sound that met us as we climbed out on the top deck.
