Someone on social media said they heard it in Flint. I too hope that none of the fire brigade arrived at the wrong time. There again, there must have numerous people around at that time of night. Gives you the shivers to think !

I wonder what ignited the gas leak, hopefully it wasn't someone in the building. It takes over 600 centigrade to ignite, a hot lightbulb or similar wouldn't be enough.

So why on earth have they deployed a helicopter? Are they hoping to arrest flying debris and take it in for questioning, or is it just high-ranking cops rubbernecking?

Thermal imaging for any hot beds of fire or cold beds of gas leak?

Or warm bodies?

Its quite a distance from the site of the explosion, if all the shop traders started milling around it would be a fine mess.

One of our WikiWirral members was interviewed by Andy Gill at Granada Reports earlier.
