    I'm sure there's more sources and stuff elsewhere but yeah, it's not good. Not good at all.

    Ouch... Do they have any idea what might have caused it? It only says there it was an accident.

    From what I've heard, they don't know exactly what has happened or how it happened.

    It's still ablaze and it happened at like, 6 GMT this morning.

    My mum was telling me about this because a wearhouse full of stock from a company called ASOS which she used to work for was hit aswell.

    ASOS are one of the biggest online fashion websites in Britian so this could damage them...not that me or my Mum care because the owner was a self-rightious bastard with only one thing in mind-Money.

    Whoo, that's a helluva big explosion...

    Anyways, I know people who were within three miles of the place when it went up.

    There is loads of smoke outside my house, i mean loads. I live in Wales though so I doubt its from the fire. Maybe though.


    I am glad noone died.

    I saw this on the cover of LA Times, and it was a huge shock. The paper wrote that the authorities believe it was an accident, as opposed to a terrorist attack or something of that sort. I hope everyone who got hurt is going to be ok.

    casualties dont neccersarily mean their dead. Most likely lightly wounded.
