He was not wearing a suspiciously big jacket. That was a lie propagated by the police, which evidently many people still believe. See eg https://www.independe

  I see. Thank you for that. I'm not English but I was there at the time and I remember most of these stories - that he jumped the barrier and looked Asian and all that, all crap. I actually also heard that the police man shouted "yippie ki-yay, motherfucker" before firing, maybe I'll start repeating that one instead.

    The barrier/jacket lies quietly came out about a week or two after, I think. I remember thinking at the time that whomever was in charge and responsible for the attempted coverup and the lies would have to be fired. Still cant quite believe they'd be fully in charge and lecturing us about how to catch a terrorist a decade later.
