Explosion in Leicester

[magicrat]

Police are reporting a major incident in Leicester after a large explosion. No details yet

Polish convenience store flattened, apparently. Not known if anyone was inside. Mad how it appears to have taken out the entire building, yet the two either side of it are still standing with little apparent damage.

That's not untypical of gas explosions.

Thought it was likely a bomb when the news broke,  Seems probably not

[scudger99]

Me and my lad were over there today, only about a mile or two away from where that happened.  Probably mad Polish cunts distilling their own moonshine, the still has probably had a vapour leak and gone boom.

I never go in that area for anything but I do know the area a little bit. It doesn't look promising but hopefully there are no casualties.

Just hope the building was empty!

[Pureblood]

I thought Trumo had made a slight miscalculation with the gas hob but he appears unharmed.

4 people have been taken to hospital.

Not sure if the same 4, but it's just been confirmed 4 people are dead.

Four dead and four more in hospital.

Or a ‘home made’ gas connection.

A 5th person has now died. There are 5 others in hospital, and police reckon there might yet be a few more people unaccounted for. When you see the aerial shots of the site, it's amazing how well the adjacent buildings have remained standing. I'm sure they've sustained some structural damage but it's hard to tell from the pictures.

The fuck is this shit?

Looks a bit of a throwaway statement to me. Maintain a holding position until you see the white of his pointy hood.

Polacks?

Don't think they're Polish, just checked the Daily Mail and there's no mention of their nationality.

[Jairzinho]

Whoever did it, send them back to Africa.

Definitely white British, then.

Was it Toothy's house?

I’m a precision instrument.

 

It’s amazing how many shops, chippy’s and takeaways have illegal connections. I’ve seen people with hose pipes clipped around a meter to avoid paying. Obviously not to say this has happened here but it’s just not worth the risk.
