So the solution was the place the "bomb" in the public canal where it could hurt some poor swimmer or small boat when it eventually ruptures.

Seems very irresponsible to me.

I don't think anybody swims in the canal in Islington.

I've never seen anyone swimming in it - plenty of kayakers and narrow boats though.

It was the best solution he could think of at the time. That's not irresponsible, just human.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.
