Just saw this on the news! They said the smoke is visibile from Outer Space!

I hope all of our British shmup forum members are OK!

2 seriously injured. Yeah, I think the forum members here are probably fine.

Well I'm fine, I was nowhere near there. I feel sory for whoever has to breathe in that putrid crap for the next month or so.

I'm alright, thanks. I live in the North-West, where the sky is blue and the air is as crisp as the newly fallen snow. :D

BBC reported you could hear the explosion in Holland. Surely that would mean that half the UK population are deaf right now?

Odd, I didn't hear a thing. Maybe they just meant that if you were in a very quiet spot in Holland at the time, you'd have heard a tiny *poof*. :P

i'm actually amazed that there are no reported deaths. something that can rip off roofs and blow out windows could surely disintegrate a person?

BOOM

Post by DEL »

It woke me up! I live 20 miles away & at 6.00am I was suddenly awake with the building shaking and a big BOOM resounding for a few secs. I got up, looked through the curtains for fire in the sky, didn't see any and slumped back into bed.

Didn't find out what had really happened 'til the next afternoon.
