Ok, I realise that this has probably been done already, but I thought i'd mention it. A large oil facility near Hemel Hempstead blew up yesterday morning and pretty much wrecked the town. Apparently people woke up with their doors blown off and window shattered. And this morning, in an effort to make everything look just slightly more apocolyptic, the papers are publishing quite striking images of the smoke over London...

As far as I've heard it didn't blew up the whole town. And luckily no-one was killed.

To be fair, if you saw Hemel Hempstead you too would think it had been wrecked in a major explosion.
