Thought of you Liono as your location gives Hemel Hempstead/Luton airport. Glad you' re OK and no report of damage to your property.

Situation now being reported live on British TV - sadly there are casualties and also much damge adjacent to the depot including domestic properties. Currently Luton airport which is close by is not affected by the huge plume of smoke which is clear of the flight paths.

Yeah i saw the coverage all over the news today. Believe a couple of thousand litres of foam where pumped onto the fires today, although they are far from being put out yet. The most striking thing i found on the news was the fact that the blasts were reportedly heard from as far as 100miles away.

According to the BBC the blast was heard as far away as Holland and the North of France.

At this moment the flames are till going

Hi Liono,

Sorry for the delayed response, but i too am glad that you are well.

I really wonder what caused that explosion? So far they say Accident, but come on, thats got to be one pretty big accident for an explosion that large. HMMMMMM Think

Just a miracle no one was killed.

Was there any damage to your property?
