Liverpool Cathedral Bells

[combineharvestersam]

There is another story about Liverpool Cathedral. Some feel very 
stongly that it is true and people also feel very strongly that it is 
rubbish.

When the bells were hoisted into the tower, the 9th bell fell from 
the hoist, dropped all the way through the bell traps, killed two 
blokes and smashed on the floor of the nave. The bell hangers were 
very embarressed at this and got some sort of injunction that it 
could not be published what had happened. The bell was then recast 
with the original date on.
Apparently there was a blank page in the Liverpool Echo where the 
story was going to be published and it was stopped going to print at 
the last minute.
