Hemel Hempstead explosions

Bloggers were the first to be reporting on the Hemel Hempstead explosion – see the England Project. Richard has other links and there are photos on Flickr.

Thankfully there seem to be few people injured, though whether there will be knock-on environmental and other effects remains to be seen. In Essex there is no sign of any more pollution than normal and people haven’t started panic buying petrol.

The man behind and to the right has been having a bonfire in his garden, but that is all.
