Doesnt look good from the description...

Re: Hemel Hempstead explosions
Police are describing it as an accident and a plane crash has been ruled out.
It's at an old fuel depot and casualties are being described by ambulance services as minimal.

Terrorism (and let's all pray not) or accident, our thoughts go to the people affected.

Re: Hemel Hempstead explosions
My brother's new house is about 2 miles from where the explosion was. He slept through the whole thing though, as he didn't get home until 5am, and was pissed out of his skull. Not much damage to his house, although he says it's like the middle of the night there. His ex girlfriend's flat suffered a lot worse he said (blown out windows, front door knocked off its hinges).
