Default Massive Explosion at UK Fuel Depot

Link to story

A fire is continuing to blaze at a fuel depot in Hertfordshire after a series of large explosions sent black smoke drifting across south-east England.


Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has visited the scene of the blasts which injured 43 people, two seriously.

A fire chief described the incident at the Buncefield fuel depot near Hemel Hempstead, after 0600 GMT, as possibly the largest in peacetime Europe. The fire, which police believe was an accident, could burn for another day.

either someone was smoking, or someone induced an electric shock while pumping gas! lets hope the fault isn't a hybrid system inducing a spark or something

but suprisingly no one died just injuried, hope they get well!
