Anyone know whats happend in London? Massive smoke cloud

[trueblue]

People now running into the street to look.. and reporting a completely black sky. Always a good idea to run out into the street in those circumstance I think, so you can really get a lungful of the noxious fumes.

It's quite funny listening to the chinese whispers reporting on sky news. Some bloke just phoned in and said it was 'like an atomic bomb'
I want to get on the roof of our building to have a look, don't think i'm allowed though

It's near the Olympic site, apparently...

That would concur with my estimation - Homerton is adjacent to the Olympic Site.

I heard that. Nothing like scaremongering. It's a FIRE mate.....

Best in these situations to watch Sky's pictures and listen to the BBC's reporters methinks.

If that is the case, I know the road very well. I have worked on it for the last five years regenerating it then supporting the move of the businesses out of the Olympic area. Waterden Road. Is in the northern part of the zone, adjacent to the BMX site etc.

And where the1 m sq ft Media Centre will go.


Lots of clearence is going on there at the mo? A controlled explosion perhaps. This area was bombed heavily in the war, it was in the midst of the Docks and the Enfield armanents factories.

3 operational bus depots on Waterden Road. First Buses, Arriva etc.

very close to the high speed rail link according to sky news, also saying businesses in area have been reocated due 2012 olympics, looks suspect
