That's my question. Are officials discounting terrorism simply because they have nothing to point there and are just trying to avoid panic, or do they have something definite that it is an accident?

I am very disappointed in the lack of screen captures

That was in 1947.
Surely things must be safer now?

It's astonishing that there's no live coverage on FNC or MSNBC. Agreed. Sinister or not, this is a very significant story. Thanks Dhimmi Fox News.

They have nothing to indicate so far that it is not an accident. They have said that there was definately not an aircraft involved. Gas leak still seems most likely theory.

The only way they could know that it was an accident for sure is if they know what the accident was. And have they said what accident occurred? Did someone smoke a cigarette somewhere they shouldn't have? Or run a truck into something they shouldn't have? Or turn on or of a valve the wrong way? What was the accident? Without a doubt. However, given the severity of the blast, is there anyone there who is in a state to tell the authorities what that accident might have been?

"Are you the 'thought policeman' on duty tonight?"No, I'm not trying to tell you what to do and I wasn't referring to your posts. I was thinking more that my own posts were not treating this subject seriously enough....you know, too many LOL's and jokes early in this thead. Also, I worked in Chicago for a few years and in the midwest people tend to use "we" in place of "I", when "I" makes more sense. They say things like "we'll see you later" or "we'll take you to a real Italian restaurant", when there's only the two of you talking. I picked up that speech pattern a little bit in Chicago and sometimes I say things like "we will now assume the appropriate demeanor..." when I'm just talking about my own demeanor.

Maybe this was mentioned already, but does anyone know if this depot is merely a storage and transport hub, or is it a refinery too?

There have been some people interviewed on Sky who were working on the site at the time, presumably the police have also spoken to them.

Terror threat to 'crowded areas' (Nationwide Warning in UK) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1538138/posts SCOTLAND YARD has issued a nationwide alert that Islamist terrorist cells may be plotting a Christmas bombing campaign. The warning was distributed to police chiefs nine days ago by the Yards anti-terrorist branch. It follows a series of operations by police and MI5 aimed at disrupting possible attacks by terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda.

As far as I know it's just a distribution centre, think they said earlier that they supply fuel to Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick.
There is a pipeline that brings oil there from a refinery in Linconshire apparantly - they are just talking about this now on Sky News.

An industrial estate at 6am on a Sunday morning hardly qualifies as a 'crowded area'. Thankfully.

Thanks, I don't have TV, barely any radio reception out here, so FR is my sole source of news. Besides the local weekly paper for the classified ads.

An Oil Depot would make a potential target

Isn't it interesting that the close of the stock market everyday warrants a "Fox News Alert" and this story is getting very little play?
