"In the early hours of November 5th, 1605, Guy Fawkes was caught under London's House of Lords with a box of matches and 36 barrels of gunpowder."
"Had Fawkes not been found by royal authorities, Westminster and the surrounding areas could look very different today, with catastrophic damage to historic buildings and loss of life."
"Researchers found the explosion would have destroyed Westminster Hall and Westminster Abbey, impacting a vast area and significantly altering the landscape of London."
"Within a radius of about 130 feet, everything would have been razed to the ground, while up to 360 feet away buildings would have been at least partially destroyed."
