Three huge explosions in the UK this morning, at a oil depot near Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire.

Blasts sound like they were huge. Houses on fire, casulties are reported.

Some witness reported seeing a plane fly into the depot....

WOW. Scary. Hope for the best.

wow.

Report are now that there was no airplane, so that is good. Police are saying they are pretty sure it was just an accident.

Casualty repors are bad either, 4 people reported seriously injured.

The blast sounds just fucking huge.

Crazy pictures.

I think it has been determined that is was just an accident, not linked to terrorist.

However that must be a SHITLOAD of fuel that is burning.
