A.1. The Luftwaffe was probably trying to damage Britain's economy and ability to move resources by destroying docks and railways.
A.2. Residential areas were being bombed, which was likely to result in civilian casualties.
A.3. Civilians were probably going to be the most common casualties in this attack. People in their houses or working on docks or railways were likely to be killed.
B.1. The bombing seems to have caused the streets to collapse, and the bus driver was may have panicked and driven into a hole in the road, or he may have been on that part of the road when it collapsed.
B.2. The people in the surrounding area may have moved into sheltered buildings to protect themselves. They must have been terrified by the attack, and they were probably cut off from supplies.
