Massive explosions hit fuel depot
A fire is continuing to blaze at a fuel depot in Hertfordshire after a series of large explosions sent black smoke drifting up to 40 miles away. Police say 43 people were injured, two of them seriously, after flames shot hundreds of feet into the sky. The first blast at 0603 GMT at the Buncefield fuel depot, close to junction 8 of the M1 motorway was heard more than 100 miles away.
I live about 50 miles away. People are emailing the BBC from Holland & northern France saying they heard the explosion. Me? I slept through the whole thing. Zzzzz.

Darling, was last night explosives sex or have you got an oil refinery exploding in your back garden?
Dopey bugger!
Good to see all those years of specialist military training honed your reactions to such a high level!!
Luckily they never put me in a squadron containing the words ‘rapid’ or ‘reaction’.
