BOOM!
“What was that?!”
“I dunno, but I can tell you one thing — it certainly wasn’t a terrorist!”
“Oh, no, of course not. Goes without saying.”

Maybe it was a muzzie giving a suicide vest class to willing participants.

Wouldn’t a “massive” explosion have demolished the entire structure?

Workplace accident at the bomb factory, or a meth lab not properly maintained?

Brixton is south west (methinks of the Tower)
unlike the title suggests, and this was
a workplace accident probably.

Just nothing more than apparent overuse of charcoal lighter on the BB-que.

Move along. Nothing to see here....
