Plane crashed into oil depot?

Terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats up with all the plane crashes lately. Jeesh.

Holy shit, thats huge

Where you getting a plane crash from? I'm not seeing that mentioned.....

Nothing is pointing to a plane so far.

3 explosions.

Just a small glitch, move on.

I read that somewhere else, Norwegian newspaper, apparently there were eyewitnesses that saw a plane crash into them...

Wow, eye witness just said there might be a plane involved.

And it is by Luton airport...

Yup, just heard about it.

Then again this early you get all kinds of stories. We will know more in 30 to 60 mins.

just seen it on the news, its fucked up :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Sounds like an accidental crash if its indeed a plane then.

Hotlinking a pic from the Norwegian newspaper:

What bad fucking luck not only to crash your plane but to crash it into a fucking gasoline refinery... geesh ;( hope everyone who was able to got the fuck outta dodge in time.

Ok, no plane was involved police just said.

Better fill up the car before the price jumps up 80 cents / gal

what's going on there?

didnt read the thread title or the url posted, huh?

"Attention everybody! A plane will be crashing into this refinery in a few minutes. Please proceed to the nearest exit in an orderly fashion. And please, DON'T PANIC!"

Right.

no smoking please thank you

Oh, shit! It so sad to hear :-( :-( :-(

It is looking like an accident but it is still huge. People with no clue are panic buying fuel which would end up being even more of a pain than just this explosion.

Shhhheeeeeiiit!!!!

Aint no plane but it's massive glad that smoke aint heading my way. 39 people injured 2 badly but ok. Watching it live on BBC News 24.

That's what happens when you light your farts on fire after eating greasy fish & chips

What the fuck???

London blew up?

Dear god - I should lay off the piss.

Curious how there's an airport nearby and some people claim to have heard a low plane overhead just before the explosions ...

Three possibilities come to mind...

1. as authorities claim, a plane did not crash into it ... if true, that's kinda scary too - knowing a fuel depot can just blowup like that all by itself ...

2. perhaps there's a coverup of a plane crash to quell public fear of having an airport so close to such a critical facility, etc.

3. The fuel depot was intentionally blown up in some fashion to drive up oil prices; stoke public fear ... look at what FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) has done to the world, in particular the U.S., since 911 ... P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act, secret prisons, toture, etc - FUD is a proven way to manipulate and control a population.

um..it is near an airport..hence it is very possible a plane was going overhead somewhere nearby when it happened.

Yea saw it on the news...But holy crap!

In terms of firefighting, possibly the largest of it's kind in peace time Europe. It must be huge.

WTF?

Really?

I didnt hear a bloody thing.

booooooom!!!!

60 million gallons of fuel, that's not that much in the grand scheme of things

Yeah, that's what the Chief Fire Officer mentioned in the last announcement. That is what he is being told bu experts apparently.

When you say you didn't hear a thing do you mean that info or the bang:)

I didnt see anything yet

Damn! I use to live in Hertfordshire.

Hey :) I am living in Sants right now :)
Where are you at?
Hit me up on ICQ if you get a chance: 2261391

I read somewhere that this facility is a gas storage for the airport

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Location: Drunk in London

Says it all. :1orglaugh

so, what has actually happened there?

A guy from the BBC felt it in his 'south london' apartment but he didn't say what part of South London. Apparently someone in Holland felt it..I don't know if that is was a scientific reading or an actual person.

I am going to look for the cloud tomorrow.

i do, well im in plymouth at the moment, some of my sisters freinds felt it 15 miles away, when i say felt i mean it woke them up....

all the houses nearby are fucked...

Evan

LoL... love how they say 'outside London'... idiots like me think it means somewhere close to London... but hell, Siberia is even 'outside London'...

Luton Airport (the area it happened in) is considered a London airport. Heck..heathrow is nowhere near central London and it is considered the main London airport.

First read the news on my yahoo account..
