I’d blame the IRA AMI

What a dangerous place. All the people who are murdered on Inspector Lewis, Morse, and Endeavor makes it a more dangerous vacation site than Iraq or Afghanistan.

You can say that again!
That Coal fired power station has been closed for years and is in the process of being demolished.
The process got a little ahead of itself there.
Still not clear what happened. It could have just collapsed, it could have been a coal dust explosion, or it could have been a premature demolition charge explosion.
That main building would have been an awesome venue for Paint-balling.
Once upon a time that would have been the limit of “could have” beens.
Did one or more of those greenie weenie groups get in there to ‘help’? After all, the results look like the effects of the ‘help’ as offered by ideological amateurs. Or the government. (But I repeat myself.)
Or the cat.. ;-)
“Major” explosion is an understatement. Prayers for all involved.
The place has been shut for years, and was built to a price.
They are pulling it down to build houses.
Suspect that someone gas axed the wrong thing and a large object, of which that place has many, made a bid for freedom.
No one would suspect the Cat....Hmm.
