Massive explosions hit fuel depot

Bronco · Dec 2005

Not sure if any counters are from the Hemel area but it looks pretty darn nasty.

They arn't treating it as a terrorist attack,but an accident,ITV are saying its largly avaiation fuel involved and that its most likely to be static electricity which caused it.

Apprently people heard it as far a feild as Norfolk,but shocks were felt on the continatant,Personally I didn't feel or hear anything and we live about 20miles away,we just have a nice smog cloud over us now though.

Man, please! more photos, that's great sky, cloud and disaster reference. You usually dont' see clouds of smoke like that except during volcanic eruptions... So how would one go about doing something like that in Maya?
